1.2 Networking and Content Delivery
VPC (Virtual Private Cloud): a VPC is a virtual data center where you going to deploy your assets. VPCs are also distributed around the world. You can have multiple VPCs per Region, you can also connect one VPC to another.
Route53: it is Amazon's DNS service. You can register domain names though Route53. The reason it is called Route53 is that 53 is the DNS port.
Cloud Front: it is used to be in the storage section, it is a part of the content delivery network, it is basicly consisted of different Edge Locations that will cache your assets.
Direct Connect: it is used to connect your physical data centers to AWS directly using dedicated telephone line, instead of through Internet. The reason we do that may be security, but most of time it is because you need a very reliable Internet connection when you push or download a lot of data to or from AWS.
