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:
Create a VPC
- Define the IP address range for the VPC
Create subnets
- Set up public and private subnets in multiple Availability Zones
Configure Internet Gateway
- Create and attach an Internet Gateway to the VPC
Set up NAT Gateways
- Create NAT Gateways in the public subnets
Configure route tables
Create separate route tables for public and private subnets
Associate subnets with appropriate route tables
Create security groups
- Define security groups for different tiers (e.g., web, application, database)
Launch EC2 instances
- Deploy servers in the private subnets
Set up Auto Scaling group
Create launch template or configuration
Configure Auto Scaling group using the template
Configure Application Load Balancer
Create target groups
Set up ALB in public subnets
Implement security measures
Configure Network ACLs if needed
Ensure proper IAM roles and permissions
