and applications, enabling data to flow between them over the
internet or private networks.

2. Q: What is a subnet in networking?

A: A subnet is a segmented part of a network that isolates portions
of the infrastructure, enhancing organization and security.

Section 2: Amazon VPC

3. Q: What does Amazon VPC stand for?

A: Amazon VPC stands for Virtual Private Cloud.

4. Q: What is the purpose of a VPC in AWS?

A: A VPC allows users to create isolated network environments in
the AWS cloud, where they can define their own IP ranges, subnets,
and security settings.

Section 3: VPC Networking

5. Q: What are VPC Peering Connections?

A: VPC Peering Connections allow two VPCs to communicate with

root account?
A: Using individual IAM users reduces security risks since the root
account has full access to all resources and should only be used for
critical administrative tasks.

Section 4: Securing Accounts

9. Q: What is the purpose of IAM policies?

A: IAM policies define permissions to allow or deny access to AWS
services and resources.
