Answer analysis
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
VPC: A logically isolated network within a cloud provider.
Why this is correct
VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) is a foundational cloud networking service that provides an isolated virtual network.
Subnet: A distributed network of servers that caches content closer to users.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect — this definition describes a CDN (Content Delivery Network), not a Subnet. A Subnet is a segmented portion of a VPC.
VPN: A secure encrypted connection over the internet to a private network.
Why this is correct
VPN (Virtual Private Network) creates a secure tunnel for data transmission over public networks.
Load Balancer: A segmented portion of a VPC that can contain resources.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect — this definition describes a Subnet. A Load Balancer distributes incoming traffic across multiple targets.
CDN: Distributes incoming network traffic across multiple targets to improve performance.
Why it's wrong here
Incorrect — this definition describes a Load Balancer. A CDN caches content at edge locations to reduce latency.
