Every time I think of VPC I ponder the missing features and wish that Amazon had made/will make a better job of building an ecosystem around AWS. In particular, I would love to be able to create & sell managed loadbalancers, accelerators, component applications etc as DevPay billable AMIs. But that's not possible with VPC (and because I'm in Australia), so everyone using VPC has to reinvent a whole bunch of wheels to use it. It's a reduction of value all round. So ingenious though the general concept of VPC is; two years on, it's still a half-baked product with a high opportunity cost.
