Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) in simplest way

Some key points to always keep remember.

  • VPC is a virtual network & data center inside AWS for one client.

  • it is logically isolated from another virtual network in the AWS cloud.

  • Max 5 vpc can be created per region and 200 subnets per vpc.

  • We can allocate max 5 elastic IPs.

  • Once we created vpc. then DHCP, NACL and Security Group will be automatically created.

  • A PVC is region specific and subnets are availability zone specific.

  • let's suppose our vpc cidr is 10.0.0.0/16 in the Mumbai region so now any other user of aws can also take this cidr in the same region just because of its isolated property.

  • NOTE: When we do peering connection with other vpc that time cidr must be different from each other.

  • A public subnet can go on the internet but private subnet cannot go.

  • So now the question is then, How a private subnet will go on the internet? for that, we configured NAT on the public subnet and used it for the private subnet.

  • Once the VPC is created, you cannot change its CIDR block range.

  • If you need a different cidr size then create a new VPC.

Important: The subnets must be different from each other within vpc.

it's all about the basic of vpc. I will upload about vpc later.
