Summary
In this chapter, we discussed the Amazon cloud network – VPC, Direct Connect, Route 53, and the CDN, CF. We focused on building a small AWS cloud, by provisioning VPCs, subnets, EC2 instances, and peering VPCs, and setting up internet access for the EC2 instances. We discussed AWS VPC network security and compared the differences between SGs and NACLs. At the end of the chapter, we briefly looked at AWS Direct Connect, providing a connection between on-premises and the Amazon cloud, Amazon Route 53, and Amazon CF concepts and features. In the next chapter, we will discuss database concepts and introduce Amazon cloud database services.
