Amazon VPC Mastery for AWS Certifications

Video description

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is the heart of AWS cloud hosting, yet a really difficult concept to gain an in-depth understanding of, particularly for developers who have restricted infrastructure operations experience.

In this course, you will learn the fundamentals and components of VPC, which are laid out in a step-by-step fashion to make the course easy to grasp. We will cover various concepts; we will start with understanding the AWS global infrastructure. Then you will learn about the basic VPC concepts such as what a VPC is and its components. Then we will explore subnets, security groups, and Network ACL (NACL). You will also learn about NAT gateway, Bastion host, VPC peering, and VPC connectivity options. You will learn to create security groups, internet gateway, security groups, and NACLs from scratch. You will explore implementing a NAT gateway, and how to tighten the security.

By the end of the course, you will learn to create VPC with public and private subnets, security groups, NACLs, and EC2 instances from scratch.
