AWS VPC — Using Terraform Modules

<p><a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/what-is-amazon-vpc.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">AWS VPC (Virtual Private Cloud)</a>&nbsp;is a networking service that allows you to create a private, isolated virtual network within the AWS cloud. Here are some key points to note about AWS VPC.</p> <ol> <li><a href="https://aws.amazon.com/vpc/" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Isolated Virtual Network:</strong></a><strong>&nbsp;</strong>A VPC provides a logically isolated virtual network environment where you can launch AWS resources such as EC2 instances, RDS databases, and more. This means that your resources are not directly accessible from the public internet, which can help to improve security and compliance</li> <li><a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/vpc-ip-addressing.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>IP Addressing:</strong></a>&nbsp;You can define your own IP address range for your VPC, known as a CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) block. This gives you complete control over IP address assignment and helps in network segmentation</li> <li><a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/configure-subnets.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Subnets</strong></a><strong>:&nbsp;</strong>Within a VPC, you can create subnets to partition the IP address range. Subnets allow you to allocate resources in different Availability Zones, providing high availability and fault tolerance for your applications</li> <li><a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/VPC_Route_Tables.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Routing</strong></a><strong>:&nbsp;</strong>VPC comes with a routing table that controls the traffic flow between subnets and to the internet. You can define custom routing rules to direct traffic within the VPC or to external networks.</li> <li><a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/VPC_Internet_Gateway.html" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank"><strong>Internet Connectivity</strong></a><strong>:</strong>&nbsp;By default, VPC provides internet connectivity through an Internet Gateway (IGW). This allows resources within the VPC to communicate with the internet, enabling access to external services and updates.</li> </ol> <p><a href="https://medium.com/cloud-native-daily/aws-vpc-using-terraform-modules-78d02005b745"><strong>Website</strong></a></p>
