VPC peering

VPC peering is a way to securely connect two separate virtual networks (VPCs) within the cloud so they can communicate directly. Think of each VPC as a private network in a data center; peering creates a private, high-speed link between them, allowing resources like servers and databases to exchange data as if they were part of the same network. This connection is private, scalable, and doesn't require routing traffic over the internet, improving security and performance. Essentially, VPC peering enables different cloud networks to collaborate seamlessly while maintaining isolation and control.
