Let us assume there some things that need to be private facing like your databases or even application, you can put them in private facing networks. You can even use multiple layers of security, these will include security groups and network access control lists, to help control access to Amazon EC2 instances in each subnet. An Amazon VPC service consists of various sub components. Let us take a look at the following components one by one:. As we already know virtual private cloud is a virtual network we create to put our resources under that particular network.
With Amazon VPC you can further classify this virtual network into sub networks which are known as subnets. A subnet as defined above is division of a virtual network into smaller chunks.
The reason we do subnetting is to further classify the distribution of traffic. If it follows a standard routing path, then there is a possibility that traffic will be rerouted through all the routing points.
With subnets you limit the routes to limited points and classify them under subnets. We break these virtual networks into subnet networks by dividing the network based on the IP assigned to the network. If we break a network down in two parts with equal IP, that means we are assigning half IP range to each subnet.
As mentioned above an internet gateway is a component of VPC that can horizontally scale, and be highly available. It helps communication between VPC and the Internet. As mentioned above it is highly available and we do not have to face any risks or bandwidth constraints on our network. The best thing is we do not get charged for using Internet Gateway on our account. It at the same time ensures prevention of connection to resources to the instances through open internet.
In case if NAT charges apply when used. You will be charged when you create NAT Gateway in your account. Here you are charged by AWS on hourly usage of resources and even data charges apply. Let us start by referring the diagram below:. Whenever we create resources in AWS we have an option of assigning a default a VPC to that resource and at the same time we can even create a custom VPC and assign that to the resource we have with us.
When we create a VPC, we are creating a container under which we can put our resources. The equivalent in our office building analogy would be a building with access cards. Only people who have access cards can enter into the building and get around inside.
Understanding working principles of these resources will help users in properly configuring and utilizing these resources.

Leveraging the Agile Manifesto for More Sustainability. AWS works their magic behind the scenes to make this networking work, but your VPC is yours and yours alone. This makes AWS way more secure than other providers who may simply assign you a unique private IP for each server and be done with it.
Your default VPC is likely good enough to be used for everything, and simply acts as your own personal cloud, separating your assets from other people running on the same servers.
You can do this pretty easily with VPCs. You can define these however you want, but the default configuration will probably work fine for most people.

Amazon creates one default VPC for each account, complete with: Default subnets Routing tables Security groups Network access control list You can modify or use that VPC for your cloud configurations or you can build a new VPC and supporting services from scratch.
