AWS has developed a new method to create VPCs that is easy to use. The new visualisation of resources is part of the changes. This method of creating VPC allows us to see all components in one frame. It includes VPC, subnets route tables, VPC endpoints and internet gateways.
This is a great way to launch the VPC and all its components in one shot. This blog post will show you how to create a VPC using a step-by–step illustration.
Here’s a preview:
New AWS VPC Benefits
AWS VPC offers a wide range of benefits. The most important are:
It allows you to launch your instances in a separate environment within AWS.
Provides a virtual network for defining rules and policies for your services.
This function is a security wall, which allows you to control which part of the infrastructure should be exposed to the outside world.
Based on your preferences, provision setting up subnets, IP Ranges, and network configurations.
Ensure that database and application servers are only accessible to instances that are acting as web servers within your AWS.
This software firewall allows you to authorize the inbound and outside traffic from your instances.
AWS VPC: Scenario-based Use Cases
VPC is a software defined network that allows for design flexibility and can integrate with and secure the AWS cloud resources. Important use cases include:
Hosting a public-facing website
AWS VPC is able to create a simple website or a single-tier web app. You can secure your website using instance-level firewalls (also known as security groups) and regulate the inbound or outbound traffic to the web (HTTPS traffic or HTTP).
Hosting Multi-Tier Web Application
Hosting multi-tier web apps requires strict access control and restrictions on communication between web servers, database servers, and app servers. VPC is a great solution for multi-tier web app hosting because it has built-in functionalities.
Establishing Branch Office and Business Unit Networks
Many organizations require branch offices to be connected to their own interconnected networks. This requirement is provided by VPC with a separate subnet to accommodate different branch offices. All resources within a VPC are able to communicate with one another with private IP addresses. This allows offices to connect to each other via their own local network within their subnet.
AWS Cloud: Extend Corporate Network
If you have exhausted all your data center resources and require additional resources such as compute or storage, you can add them to your corporate network resources in AWS cloud. You will reap the benefits of cloud computing features like elasticity, pay as you go model, high availability, security and so on.
Step-by-Step Guide to Creating VPC With New Method
1.Create a VPC
2. Clicking on Create VPC will give you two options: ‘VPC only’ or ‘VPC Subnets etc.’ You must choose the VPC subnets us etc. option. To create the VPC with the new method.
3. You can use the Name-tag auto-generation feature to enter a value for your Name-tag. This value will be used for auto-generating Name tags for all VPC resources.
4. Availability Zones: You can choose the number of availability zones you want to use for your network setup and high availability.
5. Public Subnets
6. Private Subnets
7. VPC Endpoints and DNS Options for NAT Gateways: Endpoints can reduce NAT gateway fees and increase security by accessing S3 directly through the VPC. Full access policy is default. This policy can be modified at any time.
Conclusion
This new method to create AWS VPCs can help you save money
