Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
Exact Definition
A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is an isolated private network carved out of a public cloud environment, allowing organizations to run servers and databases in a secure, custom network configuration.
Architectural Deep Dive
VPCs isolate your cloud infrastructure from other cloud accounts. Within a VPC, engineers configure subnets, route tables, and gateways. By placing databases in private subnets and only exposing web load balancers in public subnets, systems are protected from automated port scans and DDoS attacks.
The ERPStack Approach
We deploy all production ERP instances inside isolated VPC networks, configuring firewalls and private subnets to insulate sensitive custom records.
