virtual private cloud
A logically isolated cloud environment that emulates a traditional data center network, providing customizable and secure networking for cloud resources.
A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a dedicated section of a public cloud that provides organizations with a logically isolated network environment. VPCs emulate the features of traditional data center networks, including customizable IP address ranges, subnets, route tables, and gateways, while leveraging the scalability and flexibility of cloud infrastructure.
VPCs enable users to control network configurations, enforce security policies, and segment resources according to organizational needs. They support hybrid and multi-cloud architectures, allowing seamless integration with on-premises environments and secure connectivity between distributed workloads.
By combining the benefits of cloud computing with the control and security of private infrastructure, VPCs are essential for organizations seeking to optimize performance, compliance, and flexibility in their cloud deployments.
