AWS VPC Architecture

Title: "AWS VPC Architecture with Public-Private Subnets for High Availability and Security"

Designed and implemented a secure, highly available AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) architecture optimized for production environments. Key features include:

  • Multi-Availability Zone deployment for enhanced fault tolerance

  • Public and private subnets for improved security isolation

  • NAT gateways to enable outbound internet access for private resources

  • Application Load Balancer for efficient traffic distribution

  • Auto Scaling group to dynamically adjust compute capacity.

  • Security groups to control inbound and outbound traffic.

This architecture provides a robust foundation for deploying scalable and secure applications in AWS, balancing accessibility, performance, and protection of sensitive resources.

Here are the steps to build this AWS VPC architecture:

  1. Create a VPC

    • Define the IP address range for the VPC
  2. Create subnets

    • Set up public and private subnets in multiple Availability Zones
  3. Configure Internet Gateway

    • Create and attach an Internet Gateway to the VPC
  4. Set up NAT Gateways

    • Create NAT Gateways in the public subnets
  5. Configure route tables

    • Create separate route tables for public and private subnets

    • Associate subnets with appropriate route tables

  6. Create security groups

    • Define security groups for different tiers (e.g., web, application, database)
  7. Launch EC2 instances

    • Deploy servers in the private subnets
  8. Set up Auto Scaling group

    • Create launch template or configuration

    • Configure Auto Scaling group using the template

  9. Configure Application Load Balancer

    • Create target groups

    • Set up ALB in public subnets

  10. Implement security measures

    • Configure Network ACLs if needed

    • Ensure proper IAM roles and permissions
