Question

Options

• AAmazon Private Cloud (APC)
• BVirtual Public Network (VPN)
• CVirtual Private Cloud (VPC)
• DVirtual Cloud Computing (VCC)

• A
  2% (1)
• C
  95% (39)
• D
  2% (1)

Explanation

Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is AWS's term for an isolated virtual network within the AWS cloud where you can launch resources - option C is correct because this is the official AWS service name, unchanged since its launch.

• A (APC) is fabricated - no such AWS service exists.
• B (VPN) refers to Virtual Private Network, a different concept used to encrypt traffic between networks, not the name of an AWS virtual network itself.
• D (VCC) is also fabricated - not an AWS term.

Memory tip: Think "VPC = Your Private Corner of AWS" - the word Private is key, and the C stands for Cloud (not Network or Computing), matching the fact that you're carving out a private slice of the AWS Cloud.
