> Anti-pattern 4: Building an ‘on-prem’ solution in the cloud

It didn't use this as an example, but good heavens how it is that I still have to understand VPC and NAT to use half of the cloud?

10./192. was never a security measure; it was a IPv4 rationing scheme is that IPv6 made obsolete.

AWS made a big deal of the fact that Lambda functions can now be launched in a VPC in less than 15s.

Why are people doing that at all????

Because of bearded network admins that setup their on-prem network in the cloud.

Now networking in the cloud is so complicated, people are turning to FaaS because has a better chance of skipping the morass.

P.S. Don't get security groups confused with NAT. AWS had security groups long before its VPC service was even a thing.
