Amazon Virtual Private Cloud Enters Unlimited Beta

Today, we’re excited to announce unlimited access to Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) – a secure and seamless bridge between a company’s existing IT infrastructure and the AWS cloud. Since August 2009, Amazon VPC has been in a limited beta, during which we’ve selectively granted access. Starting today, all current and future Amazon EC2 customer accounts are enabled to use Amazon VPC, but customers will not be charged for Amazon VPC until they begin using it. Amazon VPC enables enterprises to connect their existing infrastructure to a set of isolated AWS compute resources via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection, and to extend their existing management capabilities such as security services, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems to include their AWS resources. To get started with the service, please visit the Amazon VPC detail page.
