### "Review of Amazon VPC"

May 27, 2022

5.0

We use VPC to manage our entire cloud network. We host several dozen EC2 servers and have VPC configurations on top of those. We split our network into several subnets with access limitations for specific ips/ports/subnets.

Pros

Amazon VPC is a fully featured cloud networking service. We were able to connect between several other networks to our own using the software. It also lets you create isolated subnets, create groupings for servers and other network passthrough tools.

Cons

VPC is one of the most confusing AWS services I have experienced, with many items on the site having similar names but different features. The learning curve on this service is definitely a hindrance although there are many resources available online that can assist. As for features, I haven't come across any feature that we needed that VPC did not provide.

### "Must use service from AWS from security standpoint "

April 19, 2023

5.0

Overall we are happy with Amazon VPC service and use it on daily basis to run out workloads in public cloud in a secured manner.

Pros

Network isolation, improving security posture, easy way to host and secure Network resources in public cloud.

Cons

VPC costs a lot and needs good networking knowledge for optimized and secured setup. Also there are quota restrictions for certain endpoints which could be limitation for some organization.

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Amazon VPC

Better scalability and support for different types of workloads

### "Amazon VPC Service"

February 19, 2025

5.0

Amazon VPC is a powerful, flexible networking solution offering strong security and scalability. However, it has a steep learning curve and requires careful configuration for optimal performance.

Pros

Amazon VPC's best feature is its full network control, including IP addressing, subnets, route tables, and security groups. This allows for secure and scalable cloud infrastructure.

Cons

Amazon VPC's biggest downside is its complex setup and management, especially for beginners, requiring deep networking knowledge to configure correctly.

I can say overall it is very good software to create VPC in good , all should use it.

Pros

I like most about this software is dealing it's real time data processing and safety of data with traffic control which made it fast cloud to use.

### " Amazon virtual private cloud "

October 11, 2022

4.0

Being a finance related organisation,Security is paramount to our organisation we used to deal with very sensitive data and hence need a secure environment.I wanted a private solution that can solves my problem and hence found VPC.Amazon VPC is the cost effective also the customer support is excellent. Amazon VPC able to create custom subnets that can fulfill your needs. I will Highly recommend Amazon VPC solution to others.

Pros

Amazon VPC allows users to have control on the virtual networking environment, creation of subnets and the network gateways.The best thing which I like about Amazon VPC is it supports data center outages and auto migration to remove/mitigate any Amazon web service(AWS)data center outages.VPC provides great security features such as access control, newtork masking and many more.

Cons

Interface is not user friendly.Initial setup is bit confusing.Before implementing VPC solution you must be aware about how AWS works and need to leverage AWS services little bit.

### "Amazon VPC for dedicated, high-security deployments "

September 8, 2022

4.0

Pros

With Amazon VPC it was possible to create dedicated deployments what are independent from public deployments. The documentation for Amazon VPC is great and it is quite easy to read and understand even for Engineers with less experience in network and security area

Cons

I found it quite hard to create Amazon VPC with automated provisioning tools.

### "Tailored networks"

December 30, 2022

5.0

I'm enjoying working with Amazon VPC, having services well segregated services, and it can be managed using the CLI.

Pros

Amazon VPC is an amazing tool for exposing only services that need to be accessed from outside the network, while keeping it tightly protected.

Cons

The UI doesn't feel quite modern, but it is not a big issue.
