Policy: AWS > Well-Architected Tool > AWS Well-Architected Framework > Security > SEC 05. How do you protect your network resources? > Create network layers

Group components that share reachability requirements into layers. For example, a database cluster in a VPC with no need for internet access should be placed in subnets with no route to or from the internet. In a serverless workload operating without a VPC, similar layering and segmentation with microservices can achieve the same goal.

See Create network layers for more information.
