 Q34. What is the relationship between VPC and subnet ? Can you tell with an example ?Networking
Ans. A VPC is devided into multiple subnets. Subnet in a particular VPC could be public or private.

For Example - A particular account may have multiple vpc's for each of the business type. For each Business or VPC , One can have different subnets to cater to each department so that access across departments could be restricted. But still there could be identities that have control over different subnets. Moreover we could have multiple subnets for each department so as to have distinguished public and private networks having different types of applications ( public facing or internal consumption )
