PROJECT


Networking and Security on the AWS

Learn to apply basic concepts of networking and securing the applications on AWS. We'll use multiple AWS resources like VPC, subnets, routing tables, routes, internet gateway protocol, security groups, and other EC2 resources to run a custom AWS instance. We'll use different AWS commands on the CLI to carry out this project.

Project Description

In this project, we’ll apply basic networking concepts using AWS CLI. AWS networking services allow users to separate their cloud infrastructure, ramp up workload requests and connect the physical network to private virtual networks.

We’ll execute a custom EC2 instance in this project. Here are some of the stepping stones to execute our custom EC2 instance:

  • The creation of a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
  • The creation of public Subnets within this VPC
  • The creation and association of Routing Table and Routes with VPC
  • The creation and configuration of Security Groups
  • The creation of an AWS key pair

For most users, the AWS services used in the project are free, but a few users might be charged for some services. Please follow this link for Amazon EC2 pricing information.
