THE AWS VPC, BUT SO SIMPLIFIED A 10-YEAR-OLD CAN UNDERSTAND.

Having your services run in the cloud means that your networking has to be nothing but perfect, Miss even a single step and you have your service either isolated from other services they are supposed to talk to or even worse, you have it exposed to the malice of the internet. In AWS, every service has to be part of an isolated network which we call a Virtual Private Cloud(VPC). Even the services that you create without adding to an existing VPC are automatically added to the default VPC created by AWS. So, now that every service created on AWS has to be part of a VPC, well.. it is imperative that we understand its architecture and how to set up everything. That is exactly what we will do today. Let us break down the AWS Virtual Private Cloud and make it so simple even my 12year old niece can understand. Now, in order to describe the VPC and its components, I will use an analogy. By comparing the VPC to something most people are familiar with, I can relate the two ideas and drive home the point. For this scenario, let us use a parking lot of a corporate building to describe a VPC. <a href="https://awstip.com/the-aws-vpc-but-so-simplified-a-10-year-old-can-understand-1008b4a7bbff">Website</a>
