AWS Zero to Hero Day - 5
Final-year BSc IT student and DevOps Engineer with strong hands-on experience in AWS and cloud-native technologies. I focus on building, deploying, and automating reliable systems using modern DevOps practices.
I have practical experience working with Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and orchestration, Terraform and Ansible for infrastructure automation, and CI/CD pipelines using Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and AWS CodePipeline. I enjoy solving real-world problems related to deployment, scalability, and system reliability.
Tasks:
Learn about the following to get started with VPC and post it on LinkedIn:
ANS:
Virtual Private Cloud(VPC): A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a secure, isolated portion of a public cloud infrastructure that allows users to create their own virtual network, similar to a private cloud. It enables organizations to host and manage their resources within a specific, controlled environment, providing security and flexibility on a public cloud platform.
Subnet: A subnet, or subnetwork, is a logical division of a larger IP network. It allows for the efficient management of network traffic and resource allocation by breaking down a large network into smaller, more manageable segments. Each subnet has its own unique IP address range.
Internet Gateway: An internet gateway is a virtual component that facilitates communication between a virtual private cloud (VPC) and the internet. It acts as a bridge, enabling resources within public subnets of a VPC, such as EC2 instances, to connect to the internet and vice versa. Essentially, it allows your VPC to interact with the wider internet.
Route table: A routing table is a database that helps determine the best path for data packets to travel across a network. It's like a map that tells devices (like routers) where to send network traffic based on the destination IP address.
Peering connections: A VPC peering connection is a networking connection between two VPCs that enables you to route traffic between them using private IPv4 addresses or IPv6 addresses. Instances in either VPC can communicate with each other as if they are within the same network. You can create a VPC peering connection between your own VPCs or with a VPC in another AWS account. The VPCs can be in different regions (also known as inter-region VPC peering connections).
Imagine you’re the cloud architect for a tech company, ByteConnect Inc. They’ve expanded rapidly, and each department operates in its own isolated cloud space(VPC). Now, the challenge is to establish a communication channel for their instances to communicate seamlessly using AWS Transit Gateway.

You are an AWS intern at XYZ company, and you have to implement the concept of CloudWatch for your AWS resource to monitor its logs.
What needs to be done:
Create an instance and deploy an nginx web server on that instance.
Create a CloudWatch and connect it with your nginx server to monitor
