Design a VPC:

As you learned this week, a virtual private cloud (VPC) enables you to launch resources into a virtual network that you've configured and gives you full control over those resources. That provides a level of security over a public cloud when you need to control your resources and sensitive data over a virtual infrastructure. But VPCs also have drawbacks, including increased configuration complexity.

Look ahead to this week's "Design of a VPC" activity in AWS Academy Module 5: Networking and Content Delivery (Located in the Cloud Foundations eBook), where you will design a VPC. Address the following questions in your discussions. Be sure to answer all questions in your initial post and respond to two posts by your classmates.

• Question 1: What are the components of an Amazon VPC?
• Question 2: What is the default VPC and what are its advantages?
