VPC — Your Private Network in AWS

Amazon VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) is an isolated virtual network in AWS where you launch resources.


VPC components:

Subnets — segments of the VPC IP range; tied to one AZ; can be public or private

Public subnet — has route to internet gateway; resources can be internet-accessible

Private subnet — no direct internet access; databases, application servers

Internet Gateway (IGW) — allows internet access for public subnets

NAT Gateway — allows private subnet resources to initiate internet connections (not inbound)

Route Tables — control where traffic is directed


Security controls:

Security Groups — virtual firewall for EC2 instances; stateful; default deny; rules allow specific traffic

Network ACLs (NACLs) — subnet-level firewall; stateless; allow AND deny rules; evaluated in order


VPC Peering: Connect two VPCs privately. Non-transitive (A↔B and B↔C does not mean A↔C).

AWS Transit Gateway: Hub-and-spoke to connect many VPCs and on-premises networks.
