AWS Solutions Architect Associate (SAA-C02) Exam Prep Course - 2021 UPDATED! - Creating a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) La

The video tutorial provides a comprehensive guide to creating and managing Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs) on AWS. It begins with an introduction to VPCs, explaining their purpose as logical constructs for hosting instances and applications in the cloud. The tutorial then navigates through the VPC console, highlighting various features and options available. It details the process of creating a VPC, including setting up IP addressing and understanding CIDR notation. The video also covers the creation and management of subnets within VPCs. Finally, it introduces AWS Direct Connect as a method for connecting to VPCs, providing insights into its structure and benefits.
