Description: The VPC flow log format is a structured schema in which network traffic logs generated by Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) instances are stored. This format, typically in JSON, allows for a clear and readable representation of data, facilitating its analysis and processing. Each log includes detailed information about network connections, such as source and destination IP addresses, the port used, the transport protocol, and the connection state, among others. This structure not only enhances data accessibility but also allows integration with monitoring and analysis tools, optimizing cloud infrastructure management. The choice of JSON as the storage format is due to its flexibility and compatibility with various platforms and programming languages, making it an ideal option for developers and system administrators looking for an efficient way to handle large volumes of network data. Additionally, the use of this format facilitates the automation of analysis tasks and report generation, contributing to better decision-making in cloud resource management.
