Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) is a virtual network defined by its users, wherein they can launch AWS resources such as an EC2 instance. It allows users to define network space and configurations to limit access to the AWS resources within a network. Users can also use Amazon’s scalable infrastructure and advanced security features to create and secure their virtual networks.
In this Cloud Lab, you’ll learn how to create a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and secure it using public and private subnets. You’ll also learn how to manage routing across subnets within a VPC. Lastly, you’ll configure internet access for EC2 instances in your public and private subnets.
By the end of this Cloud Lab, you’ll be well-equipped to create and manage virtual networks on AWS. You’ll also gain a firm grip on network security and traffic routing within a network.
The following is the high-level architecture diagram of the infrastructure you’ll create in this Cloud Lab:
