What is a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)?

A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) refers to a virtual network infrastructure provided by cloud service providers, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure. It allows users to create isolated and logically separated sections within the cloud environment. VPCs enable organizations to have control over their network configuration, IP address ranges, and security settings, making it a critical component for building secure and customized cloud-based solutions.
