SimplyLive production clients and servers are typically deployed within the same Local Area Network (LAN).
This setup is often mirrored in cloud environments, particularly within AWS infrastructure, where the LAN is referred to as a subnet.
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
An AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a customizable virtual network that allows users to isolate and control their cloud resources. Key features of a VPC include:
Isolation: VPCs enable users to create isolated network environments, enhancing security and compliance.
Customization: Users can define their own IP address ranges, subnets, route tables, and network gateways, providing complete control over network architecture.
Subnets within a VPC
A subnet is a segment of a VPC's IP address range. Subnets facilitate network organization and management within a VPC. Key aspects of subnets include:
Segmentation: Subnets divide the VPC into smaller, manageable sections, allowing for better organization and control of resources.
Routing: Each subnet can have its own route table, enabling customized routing policies and improved traffic management.
In a typical SimplyLive deployment on AWS, production clients and servers reside within the same subnet, ensuring low-latency communication and efficient resource utilization.

By leveraging the flexibility and scalability of AWS VPCs and subnets, SimplyLive ensures a robust, secure, and efficient production environment, whether on-premises or in the cloud.
