Developments like cloud computing, the internet of things, artificial intelligence, and machine learning are proving that IT has (again) become a strategic business driver. Breuninger, a fashion department store chain steeped in tradition, has recognized this and relies on a self-developed e-commerce platform in the AWS Cloud.

VPC Flow Logs is an Amazon service that enables IT pros to capture information about the IP traffic that traverses network interfaces in a virtual private cloud, or VPC. By default, each record captures a network internet protocol (IP), a destination, and the source of the traffic flow that occurs within your environment.
