Create A VPC In AWS

In this article, we will create a VPC in AWS.

What Is A VPC?

VPC is the logically isolated portion of AWS cloud where you can deploy your own AWS resources. You can think of VPC as a private space.

Virtual Private Cloud → A logically isolated virtual network in the AWS cloud
Subnet → A segment of a VPC’s IP address range where you can place groups of isolated resources
Internet Gateway → The component of Amazon VPC for connecting to the public Internet
NAT Gateway → A highly available, managed Network Address Translation (NAT) service for your resources in a private subnet to access the Internet
Virtual Private Gateway → The Amazon VPC side of a VPN connection
Customer Gateway: Your side of a VPN connection
Router → Routers interconnect subnets and direct traffic between Internet gateways, virtual private gateways, NAT gateways, and subnets
Peering Connection → A peering connection allows 2 VPCs to talk over private IP address
VPC Endpoints → Enables private connectivity to services hosted in AWS, from within your VPC without using an Internet Gateway, VPN, Network Address Translation (NAT) devices, or firewall proxies.
Egress-only Internet Gateway → A stateful gateway to provide egress only access for IPv6 traffic from the VPC to the Internet.
