What are some of the key features of the VPC model?

Some key features of the VPC model are:

  • Agility - Ability to control the size of your virtual network and deploy cloud resources dynamically as needed.
  • Availability - Redundant resources and highly fault-tolerant availability zone architectures provide high availability.
  • Security - Logical isolation from other public cloud tenants provides security and control over resource access.
  • Affordability - Ability to take advantage of public cloud cost savings.

What are the three tiers that comprise the three-tier architecture model?

The three tiers that comprise the three-tier architecture model are:

  • Web/Presentation tier - Takes requests from web browsers and presents information to end users.
  • Application tier - Houses business logic where processing takes place.
  • Database tier - Comprised of database servers that store the processed data.

Describe the differences between a VPC and a VPN to someone you know from your previous job.

Hi friend, a virtual private cloud (VPC) creates a private, isolated network on shared public cloud infrastructure, giving you control over a virtual private data center. A VPN encrypts connections over the public internet to secure communications between locations. While you can set up a VPN connection to securely access resources within a VPC, a VPC itself provides built-in network isolation, granular access controls, and dedicated compute/storage resources instead of just an encrypted tunnel. A VPC is like having your own private condo in a shared apartment building, while a VPN lets you lock your own door within that shared space.
