AWS Overview Links

Networking connects computers together and allows for the sharing of data and applications, around the globe, in a secure manner using virtual routers, firewalls, and network management services.

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

VPC is a foundational service that allows you to create a secure private network in the AWS cloud where you launch your resources.

  • Private virtual network

  • Launch resources like EC2 instances inside the VPC

  • Isolate and protect resources

  • A VPC spans AZs in a Region

VPS peering allows you to connect 2 VPCs together.

Peering facilitates the transfer of data in a secure manner.

Additional Network Services

  • What is DNS? DNS stands for Domain Name System and directs internet traffic by connecting domain names with web servers.

Amazon Route 53

Route 53 is a DNS service that routes users to applications.

  • Domain name registration

  • Performs health checks on AWS resources

  • Supports hybrid cloud architectures

AWS Direct Connect

Direct Connect is a dedicated physical network connection from your on-premises data center to AWS.

  • Dedicated physical network connection

  • Connects your on-premises data center to AWS

  • Data travels over a private network

  • Supports a hybrid environment

Direct Connect in the real world

  1. Large datasets: Transfer large datasets to AWS

  2. Business-critical data: Transfer internal data directly to AWS bypassing your internet service provider

  3. Hybrid model: Build hybrid environments

AWS VPN

Site-to-Site VPN creates a secure connection between your internal networks and your AWS VPCs.

  • Similar to Direct Connect, but data travels over the public internet

  • Data is automatically encrypted

  • Connects your on-premises data center to AWS

  • Supports a hybrid environment

API Gateway

API Gateway allows you to build and manage APIs.

  • Share data between systems

  • Integrate with services like Lambda
