Configure your AWS lab account with billing alerts that email you when spending crosses thresholds, and routinely stop or delete unused resources to avoid unexpected charges.
This time-efficient module helps you master VPC concepts by building a production-ready VPC from scratch in 30 minutes to two hours, with hands-on labs and a basic AWS console familiarity.
Provide a quick review of subnetting and CIDR, explaining IPv4 structure, network and host bits, and how to derive subnets and hosts from a /16 example.
Explore the default VPC in AWS, review its CIDR block 10.0.0.0/16, subnets across availability zones, the internet gateway, route tables, and the DHCP options set.
Explore how security groups act as firewall rules for EC2 instances in a VPC. Learn inbound and outbound rules, top-to-bottom evaluation, and attaching up to five security groups to a resource.
Explore how NAT gateway and NAT instance let private subnet instances access the internet while blocking inbound connections, with public-subnet placement and elastic IP routing.
Explore bastion host implementation architecture in a VPC, with private and public subnets, security groups, and controlled access to private instances via the bastion.
Design a purpose-driven VPC that isolates staging and load test environments for a three-tier app, with public web subnets and private app and database subnets, plus NAT for patching.
Analyze business requirements to determine subnet needs, calculating subnets and host counts, then design a VPC with three subnets per application (web, app, database) and plan for future growth.
All AWS CLI command used in this section can be downloaded as a text file for your reference to speedup your learning experience.
Create a custom VPC from scratch, define six subnets for web, app, and database layers across two apps, attach an internet gateway, and configure routing tables.
Configure a custom network ACL and subnet associations to block all traffic by default while permitting only ports 80, 443, and 22, then restrict bastion access with security groups.
You will be presented with a scenario with a network diagram. You are expected to review and answer the questions.
