AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner (CLF-C02)Cloud Technology and ServicesEasy
A company is planning to deploy a new web application in AWS and needs to ensure that it has a dedicated, isolated network environment. They need full control over IP address ranges, subnets, route tables, and network gateways. Which AWS service provides this foundational networking capability?
- AAmazon S3
- BAmazon Route 53
- CAmazon VPC
- DAmazon EC2
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: C. Amazon VPC
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) enables you to launch AWS resources into a virtual network that you've defined, giving you complete control over your virtual networking environment, including IP address range, subnets, route tables, and network gateways.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. Amazon S3 is an object storage service and has no direct role in defining network topology.
- B. Amazon Route 53 is a DNS service and while critical for connecting to the network, it doesn't define the underlying network structure.
- D. Amazon EC2 provides virtual servers but doesn't define the network environment itself.
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
A service that lets you provision a logically isolated section of the AWS Cloud where you can launch AWS resources in a virtual network that you define.
- Logically isolated virtual network
- Full control over IP ranges, subnets, route tables
- Foundation for networking in AWS
- Can connect to on-premises networks
Memory trick: VPC: your private cloud, network's core, control the flow, and nothing more.
