Well, VPC is the only deployment model now. EC2 Classic is long gone
(though some long-time legacy customers may still have it as an option). If
you create an account, you get a default VPC. You can use it or create
another with a few clicks. Prefixes get assigned upon creation but you can
add more afterwards. It's actually pretty straightfoward. Setting up basic
DNS in Route53 is also pretty straightforward. There are no real barriers
up to this point.
