Amazon/AWS VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) Basics | VPC Tutorial | AWS for Beginners

Amazon Web Services (Web) has a huge global infrastructure, with millions of resources used by customers all over the world. As you’re building and deploying your own applications, how do you ensure that your resources are isolated from everything else out there?
An Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is effectively your own private network within AWS. This is what separates your resources from everything else. In this video, I’ll provide an overview of networking basics in AWS (VPC, subnets, internet gateway), dig into some detail about CIDR notation and how IP addressing works within a VPC, and wrap up with a brief discussion of network access control lists (ACLs) and security groups.

Thank you so much for the clear explanations and analogies in this video. I'm a Database Administrator so I'm mainly looking for content about SQL Server on ec2 instances and rds.

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

Hi Lee! Thanks for the nice comment! :) If you haven't already found it, I do have an RDS video that focuses on MS SQL Server (and connecting from SSMS). You might find it helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKHCpqiil5qjnq8.

[@legal7279]

please more about RDS to SQL Server. Thanks

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

Hi Legal! I've noted this down--thank you! And if you haven't already found it, I do have a "basics" video about RDS with SQL Server/SSMS that you might find helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKHCpqiil5qjnq8.

Your best bet is probably something like Udemy, searching for "Azure" and perusing some of the top-rated courses: www.udemy.com/courses/search/?src=ukw&q=azure. Here on KZbin, the freeCodeCamp folks are also really good, though it looks like their courses are mostly geared towards certification: kzbin.info?search_query=freecodecamp+azure.

I like the parking lot analogy. Had a question, Can you still route from the Private subnet say to an internal Company network. I assume that wouldn't route thru the internet gateway but maybe some other route. I guess would have to use the nat gateway for that.

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

Thanks, R! :) To connect your VPC to an internal network, you'd likely want to go with AWS site-to-site VPN through a virtual private gateway. More here, if it helps: docs.aws.amazon.com/vpn/latest/clientvpn-admin/scenario-onprem.html

Should my connectivity type be public or private when putting the nat gateway on the public subnet? And do I need to allocate an elastic IP to the NAT gateway?

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

Hi! You can do public or private with a NAT gateway. Public is one that you want to use to connect outbound to the internet (but not accept incoming connections). And then private will let you connect to other VPCs or on-premises resources. It sounds like you want public. So for connection type, you'd want Public. And then yes, you'll need to allocate an elastic IP for it. Here's a walk-through that might help (scroll down to the "Work with NAT gateways" heading): docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/vpc-nat-gateway.html

Question: can private VPC communicate with each other? Also the best practice in using VPC. One for per region with many resources or one VPC per "topic" (micro service for example...).

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

Hi Frederik! 👋 Apologies...I'm super behind on comments! For VPCs to communicate with each other, you can set up VPC peering. I have a short video about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHfIaGN7j9aIZ5o. As far as best practices, there are quite a few things to consider, like how many accounts you have, what resources are common, etc. Here's a good post with various things to think about: stackoverflow.com/questions/63331430/aws-vpc-per-environment-or-single-vpc-with-multiple-subnets-for-different-envir.
