Improved VPC Networking for AWS Lambda
Iconoclast view ahead (change my mind please):<p>AWS does tons of stuff around VPCs....I feel like they <i>really</i> want me to use them (or their customers <i>really</i> want to use them), but I just don't see why.<p>I just run RDS on the internet. I don't have to muck with the complexity or cost of NATs or peering or Lambda slow start or any other weird networking issues.<p>I know it's "public", but that seems irrelevant in the era of cloud services. This isn't any different than, say, how Firebase or a million other services run. Should I be concerned that my Firebase apps are insecure because someone isn't overlaying a 10.* network on them?<p>EDIT: I should clarify that I understand the legitimacy of security groups, especially for technologies that weren't meant to operate outside a firewall. But that's mostly a different subject; AWS had security groups years before VPCs and subnets and NATs.
