This\nprivate network establishment ensures better bandwidth throughput and more\nconsistent network than internet-based networks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Amazon Route 53<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is Cloud Domain Naming System\nwhich is scalable in nature.

With AWS CloudFront you can solve the issue of latency.\nThat means we can create a cache store or an edge location which located close\nto a specific point where our application experience a lot of data requests. So\nthe copy of the data can be maintained at the edge location and people\nrequesting the data can get to access it quicker with minimum latency or\nwaiting time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us now go ahead understand AWS VPC in detail.

These resources or devices have a\ncertain set of functions that perform well when these devices connect and\nfunction together and in turn they support the entire network. These functions\nor resources give high performance and speed if they used as hardware\nimplementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, these forms of network when try sort out flexibility. There is\nless room for fault tolerance and availability. These networks go well with\nproprietary provisioning software and can be modified quickly if and when\nneeded<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following are some of the benefits of Traditional Networking:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Better<br>Traffic programmability<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improved<br>agility<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ability<br>to generate policy-driven network supervision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ability<br>to implement network automation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This was about traditional networks, let us now go ahead and understand\nvirtual networks,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Virtual Network<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A Virtual Network is a network where are the devices or resources that\nfall under the network be it your servers, virtual machines or instances\n(Amazon Web Services term) and even data that connect with each other happens\nthrough a virtual network or through a set of wireless technology. Cloud\nComputing uses virtual network and one of the major benefits of this is it\nallows you to expand your reach as far as it needs to for a peak efficiency in\naddition to various other benefits that come with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A virtual network will have following components,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A Virtual Switch<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Virtual Network Adaptor<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Servers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Firewalls<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Virtual Network Security<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we know the difference between Virtual and Traditional Network,\nlet us go ahead and understand Amazon VPC in detail,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"amazon-virtual-private-cloud\"><strong>Amazon Virtual Private Cloud<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Amazon VPC or AWS VPC is a\nservice that lets you provision a logically isolated section on the cloud where\nyou can create or launch your Amazon Web Services resources, in a virtual\nnetwork which can be configured or defined as per your requirement. This\nvirtual network gives you complete control over the resources and the virtual\nnetwork you have created. You also control IP range, creation of subnets and\nyou can even configure the route tables and internet gateways. Your resources over\nthis network are also secure and we can use IPv4 and IPv6.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can control the\ncustomization of the network of Amazon VPC. If the need is to create public\nfacing subnets for your web application servers or even if the servers in\nprivate in nature with no internet access at all, all can be controlled. Let us\nassume there some things that need to be private facing like your databases or\neven application, you can put them in private facing networks. You can even use\nmultiple layers of security, these will include security groups and network\naccess control lists, to help control access to Amazon EC2 instances in each\nsubnet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"components-of-amazon-vpc\"><strong>Components of Amazon VPC<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An Amazon VPC service consists\nof various sub components. Let us take a look at the following components one by\none:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Subnet<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Internet Gateway<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>NAT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Subnet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we already know virtual\nprivate cloud is a virtual network we create to put our resources under that\nparticular network. With Amazon VPC you can further classify this virtual\nnetwork into sub networks which are known as subnets. A subnet as defined above\nis division of a virtual network into smaller chunks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason we do subnetting is\nto further classify the distribution of traffic. Let\u2019s assume we have certain\nset of traffic which we plan to route to a particular destination. If it\nfollows a standard routing path, then there is a possibility that traffic will\nbe rerouted through all the routing points. With subnets you limit the routes\nto limited points and classify them under subnets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We break these virtual\nnetworks into subnet networks by dividing the network based on the IP assigned\nto the network. If we break a network down in two parts with equal IP, that\nmeans we are assigning half IP range to each subnet. (Please note: An IP\nAddress is an unique ID that can be assigned to a resource or a machine)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Internet Gateway<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As mentioned above an internet\ngateway is a component of VPC that can horizontally scale, and be highly\navailable. It helps communication between VPC and the Internet. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Internet Gateway basically\nserves two purposes for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It gives you a<br>target inside your VPC route tables, so you can route your traffic that can be routed<br>using it<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>It also supports<br>NAT that is Network Address Translation for those instances that have been<br>assigned public IPv4 addresses<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Please note that an Internet Gateway will support\ntraffic from IPv4 and IPv6. As mentioned above it is highly available and we do\nnot have to face any risks or bandwidth constraints on our network. The best\nthing is we do not get charged for using Internet Gateway on our account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NAT<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NAT stands for Network Address\nTranslation (NAT). A NAT Gateway allows instances in a private subnet to either\nconnect to the internet or to the other devices or Amazon Web Services. It at\nthe same time ensures prevention of connection to resources to the instances\nthrough open internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In case if NAT charges apply\nwhen used. You will be charged when you create NAT Gateway in your account.\nHere you are charged by AWS on hourly usage of resources and even data charges\napply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These Gateways do not support\nIPv6 traffic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So this was about the\ncomponents if VPC, let us now go ahead and understand how Amazon VPC works?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-vpc-works\"><strong>How VPC works?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us now go ahead and\nunderstand how Amazon Virtual Private Cloud Works? Let us start by referring\nthe diagram below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whenever we create resources\nin AWS we have an option of assigning a default a VPC to that resource and at\nthe same time we can even create a custom VPC and assign that to the resource\nwe have with us. When we create a VPC, we are creating a container under which\nwe can put our resources. As we can see above, we have a VPC for a region under\nwhich we have two subnets with different instances under them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These instances as shown are\nunder different availability zones and can communicate with each other by using\nvirtual routers. There is an Internet Gateway in place to help these resources\ncommunicate with the internet or other resources out there. This is how a\nVirtual Private Cloud looks like and functions in a nutshell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"demo-aws-vpc\"><strong>Demo: AWS VPC<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let us now go ahead and see\nhow to create a VPC and attach it to the instance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Go to AWS\nManagement Console and open AWS VPC Service.
