If you think a VPC is simply a co-located rack... well, sorry but it isn't.

Also, since every single AWS service requires a rack, I assume you also want to put Rack in every single name?

Well lets see what did we have in a rack? Router, Switch, Servers... And there you have your VPC.

If only a VPC was all contained in a single rack you might have a point.

But alas, we use the term "cloud" for a reason in the modern world of development
