Amazon Web Services (AWS) has announced the Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC), enabling enterprises to connect their existing infrastructure to a set of isolated AWS compute resources via a Virtual Private Network (VPN) connection.

All current and future Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) customer accounts are enabled to use Amazon VPC, but customers will not be charged for Amazon VPC until they begin using it.

Via VPN, EC2 users can now extend their existing management capabilities such as security services, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems to include their AWS resources, Amazon says.
