AWS Networking Project Part 5

The document introduces Amazon VPC (Virtual Private Cloud), a service that allows users to create a logically isolated network within AWS. It details the author's project experience using VPC, including setting up direct VM access via SSH, launching public and private servers, and utilizing a VPC resource map for efficient creation. Key aspects include security considerations and the use of NAT gateways for internet access in private subnets.

Introducing Today's Project!


What is Amazon VPC?
Amazon VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) is a service that allows you to create a logically
isolated network within the AWS cloud. It's like having your own virtual data center in
the cloud, giving you full control over your networking environment.

How I used Amazon VPC in this project


we have used VPC as part of networking project

One thing I didn't expect in this project was...


With Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC), you can launch AWS resources in a
logically isolated virtual network that you've defined.

This project took me...

Setting Up Direct VM Access


Directly accessing a virtual machine means logging into and managing the operating
system or software of the machine as if you were using it in front of you, but over the
internet.

SSH is a key method for directly accessing a VM


SSH, or Secure Shell, is the protocol we use for this secure access to a remote
machine. When you connect to the instance, SSH verifies you possess correct private
key corresponding to public key on the server, ensuring only authorized users access

To enable direct access, I set up key pairs


The key pair type determines the algorithm used for generating the key pair's
cryptographic keys.

Just like how documents can be saved in various file formats like PDF, DOCX, or TXT,
each suited for different applications or systems, private keys also come in different
file formats. The .pem format, which stands for Privacy Enhanced Mail

Launching a public server


By default, all resources are launched into the default VPC that AWS has set up for
your account.

Launching a private server


My private server has its own dedicated security group because the public security
group allows in ALL HTTP traffic which would leave our private server much more
vulnerable to security attacks/risks

Choosing the Public Security Group as the source means only resources that are part
of the NextWork Public Security Group can communicate with your instance

Speeding up VPC creation


I used an alternative way to set up an Amazon VPC! This time, I used the VPC More
option which give me a vpc resource map to use when creating the vpc and all of its
components like: security groups, route tables and internet gateways

A VPC resource map is a visual diagram that maps out my vpc components and the
relationships/connections between them. resource map is interactive i.e it highlights
the connections relevant to a resource.

My new VPC has a CIDR block of... It is possible for my new VPC to have the same
IPv4 CIDR block as my existing VPC because VPC's are alredy isolated from each
other

Speeding up VPC creation


Tips for using the VPC resource map
When determining the number of public subnets in my VPC, I only had two options
either none or one in each AZ for my vpc. This was because it is best practice to have
atleast one subnet per AZ

NAT gateways are the connectors that will let resources in my private subnet get
access to the internet while still blocking off incoming traffic from the internet
