Amazon announced Virtual Private Cloud

Amazon has launched a new service Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, allows IT to connect to an isolated set of AWS resources to a data center using a VPN connection.  The new solution integrates traditional IT infrastructure with its EC2 cloud service. That means that Amazon has created a hybrid cloud that can work securely for the enterprise, balancing the need for encryption with the low cost and scaling power that the cloud provides.For Amazon, it's an endorsement of the hybrid approach, but it's also meant to combat the growing interest in private clouds. VPC is currently in limited beta and doesn't work with the S3 cloud storage service or any other parts of AWS.
