Inside the AWS Networking Course: Topics, Structure & Approach2:11
Master AWS networking from basics to expert, covering VPC, load balancers, private link, site-to-site and client VPNs, Terraform, and a hands-on project for industry-ready certification prep.

VPC Intro2:38
Explore the fundamentals of AWS VPC, including CIDR ranges, subnets, internet gateway, route tables, and NAT gateway, and learn to design secure public and private subnets for EC2.
How to create first VPC?7:38
Learn to design a VPC from scratch in AWS, choose a region, select the VPC only option, assign a CIDR range, name the VPC, and manage it in the console.
How to create Subnet?4:27
How to create Internet Gateway(IGW)?3:23
Route Table Intro0:44
How to create Route Table?6:33
Create and manage public and private route tables within a VPC, associate them with subnets, and configure an internet gateway to enable internet access.

Intro: EC2 in Public Subnet0:48
Spin up your first EC2 instance in a public subnet to test connectivity across route tables, subnets, and the internet gateway within the same VPC.
Setup EC2 in Public Subnet8:05
Launch an EC2 in a public subnet using ubuntu, configure SSH key pairs, and set a security group to allow SSH (port 22); monitor the instance’s public and private IPs.
Connect to EC2 running in Public Subnet3:49

Intro: NAT Gateway2:28
Create NAT Gateway2:02
Create a nat gateway in a public subnet, allocate an elastic ip, and set a private route table entry to route traffic from the private subnet.
Update Route Table for NAT Gateway3:56
Validate & Test NAT Gateway7:32
Demonstrate validating and testing a NAT gateway by connecting from a private EC2 to the public internet, then delete the gateway to block internet and verify connectivity is lost.

Intro: EC2 User Data1:46
Here is the user data script -

#!/bin/bash
yes | sudo apt update
yes | sudo apt install apache2
echo "<h1>Server Details</h1><p><strong>Hostname :< /strong> $(hostname)</p><p><strong>IP
Address :< /strong> $(hostname -I | cut -d" " -f1)</p>">/var/www/html/index.html
sudo systemctl restart apache2
EC2 User data setup3:51
Here is the user data script -

#!/bin/bash
yes | sudo apt update
yes | sudo apt install apache2
echo "<h1>Server Details</h1><p><strong>Hostname :< /strong> $(hostname)</p><p><strong>IP
Address :< /strong> $(hostname -I | cut -d" " -f1)</p>">/var/www/html/index.html
sudo systemctl restart apache2
Validate and Test User Data3:07
Here is the user data script -

#!/bin/bash
yes | sudo apt update
yes | sudo apt install apache2
echo "<h1>Server Details</h1><p><strong>Hostname :< /strong> $(hostname)</p><p><strong>IP
Address :< /strong> $(hostname -I | cut -d" " -f1)</p>">/var/www/html/index.html
sudo systemctl restart apache2

Intro: Security Groups4:27
Learn how security groups control inbound and outbound traffic for AWS resources like EC2, with examples of Apache on port 80 and other apps on ports 9000, 9001, and 9002.
Setup Security Groups5:03
Verify how security groups control access to an EC2 instance by viewing inbound and outbound rules, adding or removing a TCP port 80 rule, and testing access from various sources.

Intro: Application Load Balancer and Target Groups3:02
Configure an external internet-facing load balancer and its target group to route traffic to EC2 instances inside a VPC, illustrating how a load balancer distributes requests.
Setup Target Group3:49
Learn to create a target group for EC2 instances, using HTTP on port 80 with a / health check, include multiple instances, and prepare for configuring the application load balancer.
Setup Application LoadBalancer4:07
Set up an application load balancer in the AWS course VPC, configure subnets, security groups, target group, and HTTP port 80, then verify access via the load balancer DNS name.

Intro: VPC Peering1:15
Set up and enable VPC peering between Frankfurt and Stockholm VPCs to allow cross-region resource communication. Launch EC2 instances and ping between them to verify connectivity.
Setup VPC Peering4:32
Learn to set up a cross-region VPC peering between Frankfurt and Stockholm in AWS, create and accept the peering connection, and verify connectivity with ping between two EC2 instances.
Validate and Test VPC Peering8:55
Launch EC2 instances in Frankfurt and Stockholm, configure VPCs and subnets, and test VPC peering using private IPs. Update route tables to enable icmp ping and verify connectivity.

Intro: Transite Gateway2:29
Explore AWS transit gateway to connect multiple VPCs with a single attachment, using three VPCs and setting up routes to enable traffic between them.
Setup Transite Gateway2:14
Explore how to create and name a transit gateway in a single AWS account, optionally configure an ASN and CIDR range, and monitor provisioning from pending to available.
Setup Transite Gateway Attachment5:52
Update Route Table with Transite Gateway Attachment7:04
Provision EC2 instances in each VPC and test connectivity by pinging across the three VPCs, after updating public and private route tables to route traffic via the transit gateway attachment.
