🚀 Successfully Built a Secure & Scalable AWS VPC Network! 🔥🌐

📌 Project Overview

This project focuses on designing and deploying a fully functional AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) to ensure secure, scalable, and efficient cloud networking.

Through hands-on implementation, I gained expertise in AWS networking, subnet segmentation, security configurations, private cloud infrastructure, database isolation, and inter-region connectivity.

🔍 Key Features & Implementation

✅ Understanding VPC & Its Usage

• Explored how VPCs provide network isolation, security, and controlled access in AWS.

✅ Created a Custom VPC

• Defined my own VPC named my-vpc-1 with a custom IPv4 CIDR block.

✅ Configured Subnets for Efficient Networking

• Public subnet for internet-facing resources.
• Private subnet for internal workloads.

✅ Set Up an Internet Gateway

• Attached an Internet Gateway to allow instances in the public subnet to securely access the internet.

✅ Created Route Tables & Associations

• Configured a custom route table for the VPC.
• Added a route to connect the Internet Gateway for external access.

✅ Launched an EC2 Instance in Public Subnet

• Instance test1, assigned a public IP, and verified internet connectivity.

✅ Built a Secure Private Subnet for Database

• Created Subnet 2 to restrict database access to private IPs only.

✅ Deployed a NAT Gateway for Private Subnet

• Placed a NAT Gateway in Subnet 1, enabling outbound internet access for private instances while maintaining security.

✅ Launched a Private Instance in Subnet 2

• Created an EC2 instance without a public IP, making it accessible only within the private network.

✅ Installed a Database in the Private Subnet

• Set up a database server that is only reachable via the private IP of Subnet 2, ensuring strong security practices.

✅ Established SSH Connection via Bastion Host

• Logged into Instance 1 (Public Subnet).
• Generated a key pair (Key.pem).
• Set permissions and used SSH to access the private instance securely.

✅ Implemented VPC Peering for Cross-Region Connectivity

• Set up a VPC Peering Connection to enable secure communication between two VPCs in different AWS regions.
• Configured Requester and Accepter VPCs and verified the peering connection.

🚀 Why This Project Matters?

• Essential skill for Cloud Engineers & DevOps Professionals.
• Strengthens expertise in AWS networking, infrastructure security, and cloud scalability.
• Demonstrates best practices for secure VPC design & inter-region connectivity.
