Amazon VPC overview
In this chapter, we are going to be concentrating on launching an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC); this is the networking layer that will host the computing and other Amazon services that we will be launching in Chapter 11, Highly Available Cloud Deployments.
We are going to be launching our VPC into the EU-West #1 (Ireland) region; we will be spanning all three availability zones for our EC2 instances and also the Application Elastic Load Balancer. We will, again, be using the three availability zones for our Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) instance and also two zones for the Amazon Elastic File System (Amazon EFS) volumes.
This all means our Ansible playbook needs to create/configure the following:

- Three subnets for EC2 instances
- Three subnets for Amazon RDS instances
- Three subnets for Amazon EFS volumes
- Three subnets for the Application Load Balancer
- One internet gateway
