Private Subnet
In Amazon Web Services (AWS), a private subnet is a subnet within a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) that does not have direct access to the internet. Resources within a private subnet are isolated from the public internet, making them ideal for applications that require enhanced security, such as databases or application servers that should not…

Security Groups
In AWS, Security Groups act as virtual firewalls to control inbound and outbound traffic to your EC2 instances, ensuring that only authorized access occurs while protecting your cloud infrastructure from potential threats. They are stateful, meaning that if you allow inbound traffic, the response is automatically allowed, regardless of outbound rules. This guide will walk…

Public Subnet
In cloud computing, a public subnet refers to a subnet within a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) that is connected to the internet through an Internet Gateway (IGW). It allows resources, such as EC2 instances, to access the internet for tasks like software updates, external API calls, and web-based services. This guide will walk you through…

NAT Gateway
A Network Address Translation (NAT) Gateway is an essential component for managing outbound internet traffic from private subnets within an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). It allows instances in private subnets to access the internet for tasks like software updates and accessing external APIs without exposing those instances to inbound internet traffic. This guide will…

Route Tabels
In cloud infrastructure management, route tables are a critical component of Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). They play a pivotal role in directing traffic within the network, ensuring that data packets reach their intended destination. Understanding and configuring route tables is essential for managing network traffic efficiently and securing communication channels between instances, subnets, and…

Add EC2 Instance in VPC
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a cornerstone of AWS infrastructure, offering isolated network environments where resources such as EC2 instances can be securely deployed. Adding an EC2 instance to a VPC involves several steps, from configuring the network to ensuring security and connectivity. This guide provides a detailed step-by-step approach for integrating an EC2 instance…
