Essential Networking Topics for Cloud - Full Breakdown

1. VPC (Virtual Private Cloud)

- Your private data center in the cloud.

- Define IP address ranges using CIDR.

- Contains subnets, routing, security, etc.

2. CIDR Notation & Subnetting

- CIDR: Classless Inter-Domain Routing (e.g., 10.0.0.0/24 = 256 IPs).

- Used to divide VPC into smaller subnets.

3. Subnets (Public vs Private)

- Public: route to the internet.

- Private: internal only, needs NAT to access the internet.

4. Route Tables

- Control where traffic goes from each subnet.

- Add routes to IGW for public or NAT for private subnets.

5. Internet Gateway (IGW)

- Enables internet access for public subnets.

6. NAT Gateway

- Gives private subnets internet access without exposing them.

7. Elastic IPs (EIP)

- Static public IPs used for NAT or bastion hosts.


8. Security Groups (SGs)

- Firewall for EC2/resources.

- Stateful, controls inbound/outbound traffic.

9. Network ACLs (NACLs)

- Optional firewall at subnet level.

- Stateless, requires both in/out rules.

10. VPC Peering

- Direct private connection between two VPCs.

11. Transit Gateway (TGW)

- Hub-spoke model to connect many VPCs/on-prem networks.

12. Bastion Host (Jump Box)

- Public EC2 to SSH into private EC2s.

13. PrivateLink

- Expose services over AWS private network.

14. Load Balancers

- ALB (HTTP/S), NLB (TCP/UDP), CLB (Legacy).

15. DNS & Route 53

- Manages domain names and routing policies.


Terraform Practice:

- Build VPC with:

- 2 public and 2 private subnets across 2 AZs

- IGW, NAT Gateway, route tables

- SGs for web + DB tier

- ALB in front of EC2s

Summary:

- VPC: private network

- Subnet: segments of VPC

- Route Table: directs traffic

- IGW/NAT: internet access

- SG/NACL: firewalls

- TGW/Peering: cross-VPC communication

- ALB: load balancing

- Route 53: DNS and traffic routing
