At what level of incompetence must an organization operate to squander roughly 70,000 /24 networks?
Hi Isaac, None whatsoever. You just have to be really big. Imagine you're Amazon. You have this insanely large deployment of servers. Your customers have this virtual concept you've presented them called a "VPC" but there are no wires or routers. The subnets only exist as bits in memory. The Virtual Private Cloud is a ruleset in the network adapter of every physical machine running one of the VMs that participate in the VPC. A big, flat network where every one of these servers has a need to talk to every other server that could possibly be tasked to run a VM in that VPC.
