AWS resource reference
VPC
A virtual network owned by an AWS Account. VPC is the canonical owner of the network resources placed within its subnets.
In Atlas
A virtual network owned by an AWS Account. VPC is the canonical owner of the network resources placed within its subnets.
Use editor controls for selection, inspector drafts and action menus. Creating or editing this design data does not create an AWS resource.
Build the network
From the selected VPC, action choices create Public, Private or Database Subnet, Internet Gateway or Security Group. Manage DB subnet groups opens the data-only DB subnet group manager. A subnet is a visual host for several resources whose cloud owner remains the VPC.
Fields and editing
| Field / label | Meaning and behaviour | Defaults and constraints |

AWS reference
Official AWS service guide explains the service. AWS property reference is a comparison reference. Atlas is an offline design model; its fields are not a promise of direct AWS API/CloudFormation equivalence or regional availability.
