🔹 What's a VPC? A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a fundamental building block in AWS, allowing you to create a logically isolated section of the AWS Cloud to launch resources in a virtual network that you define.
🔹 Why VPC Matters?
Isolation: Keep your resources isolated and secure in your own virtual network.
Control: Fine-tune network configurations with complete control over IP addresses, subnets, route tables, and more.
Connectivity: Establish secure connections with on-premises networks or other VPCs using VPN or Direct Connect.
Scalability: Design scalable architectures by segmenting your VPC into subnets and distributing resources strategically.
🔹 Key Concepts Demystified
Subnets: Divide your VPC's IP range into subnets for better organization and resource distribution.
Route Tables: Control traffic between subnets and to external networks.
Security Groups: Set inbound/outbound traffic rules at the instance level.
Network ACLs: Filter traffic at the subnet level based on rules you define.
Internet Gateway: Enable communication between instances in your VPC and the internet.
Elastic IP Addresses: Static, persistent public IPs for instances.
🔹 Peeling the Layers: Deep Dive
CIDR Blocks: Master the art of IP range selection and subnetting.
VPC Peering: Connect VPCs seamlessly to share resources across accounts or regions.
VPC Endpoints: Privately access AWS services without traversing the internet.
Transit Gateway: Simplify network architecture by connecting multiple VPCs and on-premises networks.
VPC Flow Logs: Gain insights into network traffic for monitoring and security analysis.
