What is Amazon VPC?
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) enables you to launch AWS resources into a virtual network that you've defined. This virtual network closely resembles a traditional network that you'd operate in your own data center, with the benefits of using the scalable infrastructure of AWS. Amazon VPC is the networking layer for Amazon EC2.

Regions and Zones
Amazon EC2 is hosted in multiple locations world-wide. These locations are composed of Regions, Availability Zones, Local Zones, AWS Outposts, and Wavelength Zones. Each Region is a separate geographic area. Availability Zones are multiple, isolated locations within each Region. Local Zones provide you the ability to place resources, such as compute and storage, in multiple locations closer to your end users.

What is DNS? - Introduction to DNS - AWS
DNS, or the Domain Name System, translates human readable domain names (for example, www.amazon.com) to machine readable IP addresses (for example, 192.0.2.44). All computers on the Internet, from your smart phone or laptop to the servers that serve content for massive retail websites, find and communicate with one another by using numbers.
