Virtual Private Cloud used to run an isolated environment within a public cloud. A VPC is a public cloud offering that lets an enterprise establish its own private cloud-like computing environment on shared public cloud infrastructure. A VPC gives an enterprise the ability to define and control a virtual network that is logically isolated from all other public cloud tenants, creating a private, secure place on the public cloud. - VPC provides security in two ways. At the instance level protection is provided through security groups. At the subnet level, protection is provided by access control lists. Site-to-site virtual private networks (VPN) can be configured. A public gateway is used to enable egress to the internet for all virtual server instances on the attached subnet. - VPC provides flexibility when customers securely connect to on premises or remote infrastructure. VPCs can be created in various regions around the world. Customers can select a private IP address or bring their own IP address for cloud applications. Using Direct Link helps create a dedicated connection between the cloud and on premises resources. This allows an organization to extend its network and provide a consistent connection without using the public internet. - Responsiveness VPC makes it possible to create responsive cloud applications. Instance profiles with elasticity are used when creating applications for workloads, horizontal scaling, performance monitoring, and load balancing services.

Object Storage enable you to store and access unstructured data anywhere in the world with a self-service portal backed by RESTful APIs.
Object Storage supports exponential data growth and cloud-native workloads with built-in high-speed file transfer capabilities, cross-region offerings and integrated services.
Cloud object storage makes it possible to store practically limitless amounts of data, simply and cost effectively.
Example use cases of cloud object storage include:
- Backup and recovery
- Data archiving
- Cloud-native app data
- AI and analytics

The NIST definition lists five essential characteristics of cloud computing: on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity or expansion, and measured service

Block storage, sometimes referred to as block-level storage, is a technology that is used to store data files on Storage Area Networks (SANs) or cloud-based storage environments. Developers favor block storage for computing situations where they require fast, efficient, and reliable data transportation.

A transit gateway connects VPC resources across multiple regions. VPCs can be connected together with single or multiple transit gateways. As new networks are added to a transit gateway, they are automatically connected to other networks that are also connected to the gateway.
