In a cloud environment, the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is the backbone that connects your resources to the Internet. A VPC is a logically isolated network within Amazon Web Services (AWS), allowing you to launch Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances, Amazon Relational Database Service instances, and other Amazon Web Services resources in a virtual network. By default, your VPC is created without any internet connectivity. This means that the resources launched in the VPC do not have access to the internet.<\/p>\n
