🌐 AWS VPC Resources

🚀 Project Overview

This project demonstrates the implementation of a custom Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) architecture in AWS. The project focuses on creating and configuring networking resources such as VPCs, subnets, route tables, internet gateways, security groups, network ACLs, and EC2 instances.

The objective of this project was to understand AWS networking fundamentals, resource isolation, traffic routing, and secure communication within a cloud environment.

📚 What is AWS VPC?

Amazon VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) is a logically isolated virtual network within AWS that allows users to launch and manage AWS resources securely.

A VPC provides complete control over:

• IP Address Range
• Subnets
• Route Tables
• Internet Connectivity
• Security Rules

---

🎓 Learning Outcomes

• AWS VPC Fundamentals
• Public and Private Subnets
• Internet Gateway Configuration
• Route Table Management
• Security Group Configuration
• Network ACL Configuration
• EC2 Networking
• Cloud Networking Fundamentals
• AWS Infrastructure Design

---

🔮 Future Enhancements

• Implement NAT Gateway
• Configure Bastion Host
• Deploy Multi-AZ Architecture
• Add Load Balancer
• Connect VPCs using VPC Peering
• Implement Hybrid Connectivity
