You’ll learn the fundamentals of network addressing, including classful and classless addressing. You’ll understand the core concepts of Amazon VPC and its related components while doing hands-on using Amazon CLI. Next, you’ll implement Amazon VPC flow logs for enhanced VPC logging and monitoring. You’ll finish learning some advanced VPC concepts. You’ll also explore how VPCs enable you to improve the security of your application by utilizing various Amazon VPC features. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to architect your cloud network infrastructure on AWS involving VPCs and define networking rules to create a secure cloud networking environment.
