The key takeaways from the presentation are that AWS offers a comprehensive set of networking services to help design, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure by enabling connectivity, controlling traffic, and ensuring high availability and security.

The main components of AWS networking include VPC, subnets, route tables, internet gateways, NAT gateways, elastic IP addresses, security groups, and NACLs. Together these provide capabilities for virtual networking, connectivity, traffic management and security in AWS.

Subnets help segment AWS infrastructure by subdividing the IP address range of a VPC. Public subnets provide direct internet access while private subnets do not. Resources can be placed in appropriate subnets based on their security needs.

AWS NETWORKING

INTRODUCTION

• Welcome to the presentation on AWS Networking.


• Today, we will explore the key concepts and components of AWS networking, and how
they contribute to building scalable and secure cloud infrastructure.
OVERVIEW OF AWS NETWORKING

• AWS offers a comprehensive set of networking services to help you design, deploy, and
manage your cloud infrastructure.
• These services enable you to establish connectivity, control traffic, and ensure high
availability and security.
VIRTUAL PRIVATE CLOUD (VPC)

• VPC is the fundamental building block of AWS networking.


• It is a logically isolated section of the AWS cloud where you can launch resources in a
virtual network.
• VPC provides control over IP addressing, subnets, routing, security, and network
gateways.
SUBNETS

• Subnets are subdivisions of a VPC's IP address range.


• They enable you to segment your infrastructure and control traffic flow.
• Public subnets have direct internet access, while private subnets do not.
• You can strategically place resources in appropriate subnets based on their security
requirements.
ROUTE TABLES

• Route tables determine how network traffic is directed within a VPC.


• They contain rules for routing traffic between subnets and to the internet.
• Route tables are associated with subnets and can be customized to meet specific
requirements.
INTERNET GATEWAY

• An Internet Gateway (IGW) enables communication between instances in a VPC and the
internet.
• It acts as a bridge between the VPC and the public internet.
• IGW allows inbound and outbound internet connectivity for resources in public subnets.
NAT GATEWAY

• A Network Address Translation (NAT) Gateway allows instances in private subnets to


access the internet while remaining protected.
• It provides outbound internet connectivity for private instances, allowing them to initiate
outbound connections.
ELASTIC IP ADDRESSES

• Elastic IP addresses (EIPs) are static public IPv4 addresses associated with your AWS
account.
• EIPs can be assigned to EC2 instances, NAT gateways, and load balancers.
• They provide a way to retain a consistent IP address even if instances or services are
stopped or restarted.
SECURITY GROUPS

• Security Groups act as virtual firewalls for your instances.


• They control inbound and outbound traffic based on rules defined by you.
• Security Groups operate at the instance level and provide granular control over access.
NETWORK ACCESS CONTROL LISTS (NACLS)

• NACLs are stateless, subnet-level firewalls that control inbound and outbound traffic.
• They allow or deny traffic based on rules defined by you.
• NACLs provide an added layer of security and can be used to restrict access between
subnets.
VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK (VPN)
CONNECTIONS
• VPN Connections enable secure communication between your on-premises data center
and your VPC.
• They establish an encrypted tunnel over the public internet, ensuring data privacy.
• VPN Connections are ideal for extending your existing network infrastructure to the
cloud.
DIRECT CONNECT

• Direct Connect establishes a dedicated network connection between your on-premises


data center and AWS.
• It provides a high-bandwidth, low-latency link for transferring large amounts of data.
• Direct Connect offers a more consistent and reliable connection compared to VPN over
the public internet.
AWS GLOBAL ACCELERATOR

• AWS Global Accelerator improves the performance and availability of your applications.
• It directs traffic to your applications through the AWS global network infrastructure.
• Global Accelerator uses the AWS Edge Locations to optimize the path and reduce latency
for your users.
LOAD BALANCING

• AWS offers multiple load balancing options to distribute traffic across multiple instances.
• Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) automatically scales and directs traffic to healthy instances.
• Application Load Balancer (ALB) operates at the application layer and provides
advanced routing features.
SUMMARY

• AWS Networking provides a robust set of services for building scalable and secure cloud
infrastructure.
• Understanding VPCs, subnets, routing, gateways, and security groups is crucial for
designing a well-architected network.
• Leveraging VPN Connections, Direct Connect, and Global Accelerator ensures reliable
and optimized connectivity.
• Utilizing load balancers helps distribute traffic and improve application availability.
