Amazon VPC

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) enables you to launch AWS resources into a virtual network that you've defined. This virtual network closely resembles a traditional network that you'd operate in your own data center, with the benefits of using the scalable infrastructure of AWS.

  1. To get started, navigate to the Your VPCs tab in the VPC section of the console and click Create VPC button.

    • Accept proposed Tags
    • Click Create VPC
