Description: A VPC flow log captures information about the IP traffic going to and from network interfaces in your VPC. This log provides details about network connections, including source and destination IP addresses, source and destination ports, the protocol used, and the amount of data transferred. Flow logs are essential for monitoring and analyzing network traffic, allowing administrators to identify usage patterns, detect performance issues, and ensure the security of the infrastructure. Additionally, these logs can be used for audits and regulatory compliance, as they provide a detailed view of how the network is being utilized. The ability to store and analyze this data over time enables organizations to optimize their network architecture and respond quickly to security incidents. In the context of cloud environments, VPC flow logs easily integrate with other monitoring and analysis services, facilitating traffic management and control in the cloud.
