Amazon VPC 's Features

  • Create an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud on AWS's scalable infrastructure, and specify its private IP address range from any range you choose.
  • Divide your VPC’s private IP address range into one or more public or private subnets to facilitate running applications and services in your VPC.
  • Control inbound and outbound access to and from individual subnets using network access control lists.
  • Store data in Amazon S3 and set permissions such that the data can only be accessed from within your Amazon VPC.
  • Assign multiple IP addresses and attach multiple elastic network interfaces to instances in your VPC.
  • Attach one or more Amazon Elastic IP addresses to any instance in your VPC so it can be reached directly from the Internet.
