Final answer:
An Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) can include multiple subnets, security groups, route tables, but only one active Internet Gateway at a time, with the possibility to attach and detach multiple gateways.
Step-by-step explanation:
The question refers to the capabilities and components that can be included in an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). An Amazon VPC can indeed include multiple subnets, security groups, route tables, and even multiple Internet gateways. All these components are crucial for defining a virtual network in the AWS cloud.
- Subnets allow you to segment the VPC into different networks, which can be public or private, depending on whether they have direct access to the Internet.
- Security Groups act as virtual firewalls for your instances to control inbound and outbound traffic.
- Route Tables define the rules by which traffic is directed within the VPC or to the Internet.
- While you can only have one active Internet Gateway per VPC, you are technically able to attach and detach multiple gateways, although only one can be in use at any given time.
