Hello Class,
Of the many components for an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), the most notable is elastic network interfaces. Elastic network interfaces are a virtual network interface that gives you the ability to attach or detach from an instance within a VPC. After reviewing module 5 and doing additional research across the web, I also found a few more components of Amazon VPC. Route tables, Network address translation (NAT), VPC sharing and peering, and internet gateway (AWS Virtual Private Cloud – VPC – Certification, n.d.). Route tables holds a set of rules, which is also known for routes, which specifically directs network traffic to and from the subnets. Each route has a specific destination and target. Internet gateway is a highly available VPC component in which permits communication between VPC and instance along with the public internet. Network Address translations gateway or NAT authorizes instances in a private subnet in order to connect to the internet the other multiple AWS services. VPC sharing allows users to share subnets with other AWS accounts within the same organizations. VPC peering connections permits users to route privately between two VPC traffic (AWS Virtual Private Cloud – VPC – Certification, n.d.).
A default VPC is pre-configured and created in order for users to begin using applications and tool and dont have to make their own (Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) | AWS Tutorial for Beginners, n.d.). There are some advantages when you are using a VPC, like, you are able to get started immediately, utilize public instances, and edit components to the default it desired. Default VPC mimics network traditions used to operate your own data center. Some of the many benefits to using a default VPC are preventing loss, propriety data, privacy, and security. For those that arent comfortable with creating or setting up your own VPC, the default VPC provides you with ease of setting it up on your own. (Take it from a very inexperienced user. This feature will definitely come in handy for those small business or personal users with minimal IT experience) Although it is public, it is still safe with its advances security features in which allows in and outbound filtering within a subnet and instance level. Another security measure that comes with the default VPC is the ability to monitor and view inline traffic inspection, and assist with screening and securing network traffic (Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) | AWS Tutorial For Beginners, n.d.).
