        Does Amazon give you features that something like digital ocean doesn't provide?

        Yes, so many we could spend all day trying to list them. But few you'd care about unless you were big and none for free.

          Yup, crazy numbers of people. It's one of the most popular distros for enterprise workloads. I've used it a lot.

            Opps. I got a Amazon VPC not a standard linux VM. Is this a problem? 😞

              Well they are completely different things. One is a the start of a private cloud without any VMs. The other is a VM. So they overlap in no way. Having a VPC isn't bad, but it won't do anything until you add VMs to it.

                  It's a network without VMs. There is no place to install anything. A VPC does nothing on its own. It's just a place to "collect" VMs. You still need the VMs.

                    So if he keeps is and all he wants is a single small VM, then he's paying for something (VPC) he doesn't need, right?

                        Yeah, the VPC does nothing on its own. It's like having a VLAN but no switch yet 🙂

                                  More or less, but very lean and without SystemD (yet).
