Description: A VPC subnet is a range of IP addresses in your Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) where you can place isolated groups of resources. These subnets allow for network segmentation within a VPC, facilitating the organization and management of cloud resources. Each subnet can be configured to be public or private, determining whether resources within it can be accessed directly from the Internet or not. Public subnets typically contain resources that need to be accessible from the outside, such as web servers, while private subnets house resources that do not require direct access, such as databases. Additionally, VPC subnets allow for the application of specific security policies and control of network traffic through access control lists (ACLs) and security groups. This provides an additional layer of security and control over how resources communicate with each other and with the outside world. In summary, VPC subnets are fundamental to cloud network architecture, enabling efficient and secure management of resources deployed in a cloud environment.
