AWS Networking from basics to advanced with 20+ simple to complex real life hands on exercises
This course aims to build the complete understanding of Amazon Web Services (AWS) Networking from ground up where students will understand the networking core concepts by doing exercises on their own.
This course contains 2 sections. First section is about Understanding AWS Networking where I have explained starting from very basics the AWS VPC, VPC components and Private connectivity options in AWS . If you are already aware of AWS networking components, then you may want to skip this section and jump directly to hands on exercises section.
1. Understanding AWS Networking in depth
Physical on premises networking vs AWS VPC
Getting familiar with AWS VPC terminologies - VPC, Subnets, Route tables, Internet Gateway, Security Group, Network ACL
Understanding VPC CIDR
Understanding Subnets and Route Tables
Public Subnet vs Private Subnet
Understanding NAT (Network Address Translation) Concept
NAT Gateway and NAT instance
AWS Private Connectivity options
Understanding VPC Peering
VPC Endpoint and Privatelink for private connectivity to AWS Services
VPN connection / Direct Connect
Transit VPC
Transit Gateway
AWS Client VPN
2. AWS Networking Hands on exercises (Basics to Advance)
Create VPC with single public subnet, launch EC2 instance and connect over internet
Create VPC with Pubic and Private subnet, connect to EC2 instance in Private subnet via EC2 instance in Public subnet
Create NAT Gateway and allow EC2 instances in Private subnet to access internet through NAT Gateway
Create and use NAT EC2 instance instead of NAT Gateway
Create VPC Peering between VPCs across AWS regions and connect to EC2 instance over private IP by using VPC peering connection
Create VPC endpoint gateway for S3 and access S3 contents from EC2 instance in Private subnet without requiring internet connection
Create and use VPC Private Link to expose your Web service privately to application hosted in another VPC
Implement AWS region level failover using AWS Route53
Hosting website on S3 using custom domain name from GoDaddy
Hosting HTTPS enabled website using S3 and CloudFront
Advanced Networking: Setup Site-To-Site VPN between AWS VPC and simulated on-premise network
Advanced Networking: Setup AWS and Google Site to Site VPN using Dynamic BGP Routing
Transit Gateway - Setup communication between multiple VPCs and On-premise network
AWS Client VPN and various scenarios like accessing Internet, Split Tunnel, accessing Peered VPCs via Client VPN connection
Additional exercises:
Application Load Balancer - distribute traffic to backend EC2 instances
Enable Sticky session on ALB
Enable HTTPS on Application Load Balancer
ALB Path based Routing
Note: This course does not cover all minute details/limits/what if kind of contents which are required to be remembered for AWS networking certification exam however this course instead focuses on understanding the core concepts well by doing hands on exercise.
