Understanding VPC

Amazon VPCs - virtual networks allowing you to to provision a logically isolated section of your cloud where you can deploy AWS resources and have full control over your virtual networking environment - are a cornerstone of AWS computing. VPCs provide unique and customizable IP address ranges, subnets, route tables, and network gateways. They play an important role in a wide range of scenarios, from the complex to the relatively straightforward.

Mastering VPC concepts is not easy, so our expert Linux System Administrator David Clinton created this course to help you to get started. When you're done, you should be able to intelligently integrate VPC configuration into your cloud architecture. You learn about basic VPC usage, how to create a subnet, and how to deploy a whole virtual intranet in your cloud.
