Summary

In this chapter, we learned about one of the critical networking components of AWS offering VPC and Transit Gateway. You learned how to create a VPC using the AWS console and CloudFormation and how it resembles a traditional data center. You learned about the recently launched feature by AWS called Transit Gateway and how it simplifies networking architecture. We wrapped up the chapter with a real-world example, where we saw how to enable VPC Flow Logs, which is helpful in network debugging.

In the next chapter, we will focus on one of the most popular AWS services, EC2. It allows us to create a virtual machine in the cloud where we can deploy our applications.
