Description
[This course is fully refreshed now with latest AWS console experience and features. It's 2025 ready !]This course aims to build the complete understanding of Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and Networking from grounds up where you will understand the AWS networking concepts to the depth not just theorotically but by actually performing hands on exercises for all the networking components.This course contains 2 sections. First section is about understanding the foundation where I have explained from scratch the basics of Amazon VPC, VPC components and Private connectivity options in AWS. Additionally we are also going to understand how DNS works in AWS. I am sure, this course will take your networking knowledge and experience to a different level where you can confidently design and implement networking components on your own. And believe me, it's one of the most important skill to have to be successful in your AWS career.1.

AWS Networking Hands on exercises (Basics to Advance)Create VPC with single public subnet, launch EC2 instance and connect over internetCreate VPC with Pubic and Private subnet, connect to EC2 instance in Private subnet via EC2 instance in Public subnetCreate NAT Gateway and allow EC2 instances in Private subnet to access internet through NAT GatewayCreate and use NAT EC2 instance instead of NAT GatewayCreate VPC Peering between VPCs across AWS regions and connect to EC2 instance over private IP by using VPC peering connectionCreate VPC endpoint gateway for S3 and access S3 contents from EC2 instance in Private subnet without requiring internet connectionCreate and use VPC Private Link to expose your Web service privately to application hosted in another VPCImplement AWS region level failover using AWS Route53Hosting website on S3 using custom domain name from GoDaddyHosting HTTPS enabled website using S3 and CloudFrontAdvanced Networking: Setup Site-To-Site VPN between AWS VPC and simulated on-premise networkTransit Gateway - Setup communication between multiple VPCs AWS Client VPN and various scenarios like accessing Internet, Split Tunnel, accessing Peered VPCs via Client VPN connectionAdditional exercises:Application Load Balancer - distribute traffic to backend EC2 instancesEnable Sticky session on ALBEnable HTTPS on Application Load BalancerALB Path based RoutingAWS CloudFormation template to deploy VPC and related sources in automated mannerNote: 1. While total course length is 12+ hrs, I have mentioned 8hrs in the description as we will be spending around 8+ hrs of time doing actual hands-on exercises.2. This course does not cover all details/limits/what if kind of contents which are required to be prepared for AWS networking certification exam however this course instead focuses on understanding the core concepts by doing hands on exercise.

Who this course is for:
Beginner AWS aspirants, Who are looking for hands on experience on AWS Networking services and components (VPC and more), Student's who are looking to understand AWS Networking in depth starting with VPC, Student's who want to understand Amazon VPC, Subnets, Routing, VPC peering, Transit Gateway, VPN etc
