How to list all active AWS resources in a VPC

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is an essential service for anyone looking to deploy applications in the cloud securely. It allows users to define a virtualized network that mimics an on-premise network, providing control over IP addresses, subnets, and route tables. With VPC, organizations can design their cloud infrastructure with the same efficiency and control they would have in their physical data centers.

In this blog, key features of Amazon VPC are discussed, including the ability to create a private network, configure security constraints through security groups and network ACLs, and connect seamlessly with corporate data centers via VPN. The article emphasizes the significance of understanding VPC resources, such as subnets, routing tables, and internet gateways, to properly manage and optimize cloud environments.

The tutorial aspect of this blog illustrates how to list AWS resources associated with a specific VPC. Through the use of AWS CLI commands, users can easily retrieve essential details about their VPC setup, making the management of cloud resources more straightforward. This tool simplifies cloud infrastructure management, providing clarity and efficiency that drive successful DevOps practices.
