AWS, JavaScript, React - Deploy Web Apps on the Cloud - Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

The video tutorial introduces Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) as a crucial concept for cloud practitioners. It explains how VPCs allow organizations to use public cloud resources with private cloud-like access restrictions, ensuring network isolation and security. Various methods for isolating VPCs, such as subnets, VLANs, and VPNs, are discussed. The tutorial highlights the benefits of VPCs, including scalability, enhanced performance, and increased security, due to the capabilities of major cloud service providers.

What is a key feature of a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)?

• It is a public network with no restrictions.

• It allows private cloud access restrictions on a public cloud.

• It is only used for storing data.

• It does not require any security considerations.

Which method is NOT used to isolate a VPC?

• Public IP Addresses

• Virtual Private Networks

• Virtual Local Area Networks

• Subnets

How does a VPN contribute to VPC security?

• By removing all network restrictions

• By using public IP addresses

• By encrypting traffic through a public network

• By making the network public

What is one benefit of using a VPC?

• Increased complexity in management

• Reduced security measures

• Improved performance due to cloud provider scale

• Limited scalability

Why can cloud vendors offer better security for VPCs?

• They do not prioritize security.

• They use outdated security protocols.

• They have fewer resources than private clouds.

• They focus on maintenance and economies of scale.
