We are just starting to roll out AWS in different areas within our company. We have differing opinions when it comes to my teams' platform. What is best practice in our case with our Citrix platform? I'm for a dedicated VPC for us.<br />
<br />
I get you're not going to use a different VPC for each and every department, apps, etc. Additionally, I know you are limited on how many VPC you get per region. However, in certain cases such as ours I feel it make sense.<br />
<br />
<br />
What are your opinions one way or the other for the 2 following points?<br />
1) A dedicated VPC for our platform (VDI Citrix) vs. a shared VPC mixed with other varying infrastructure and platforms from different departments, etc.<br />
<br />
2) Separate VPCs for PROD, TEST, DEV, etc. vs. all environments in one VPC separated by subnets.<br />
<br />
Thank you!

AWS - Recommended number of VPCs vs. Subnets?

Amazon Web Services (AWS), is a collection of remote computing services, also called web services, that make up a cloud-computing platform  operated from 11 geographical regions across the world. The most central and well-known of these services include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, also known as "EC2", and Amazon Simple Storage Service, also known as "S3". Other services include Elastic MapReduce (EMR), Route 53 (a DNS web service),  provides a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service, Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), storage, database, deployment and application services.

Cloud computing, also known as on-demand computing, is a kind of Internet-based computing where shared resources and information are provided to computers and other devices. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party data centers, relying on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale.
