Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (AWS VPC)

This book is an exploration of the AWS VPC (Amazon Web Services Virtual Private Cloud). This allows you to create a section in the AWS from which you will be able to launch AWS resources into a defined virtual network. The first part of the book is a guide for you on how to establish a connection to the database. This will be accomplished by creating an instance of Amazon RDS and then using an SSH tunnel so as to establish a connection. The book also guides you on how to do IP routing in AWS VPC. You will set up all the parameters which are necessary for this to take place and then test whether it works as you expect. You are also guided on how you can connect your VPC connection to the EC2 instances. You are guided from creation of the custom gateway, creation or establishment of an SSL connection to the configuration of the server software. You will also learn how to test this so as to be sure that the connection is running is expected. You are also guided on how to use a squid proxy in the Amazon VPC. In private subnets, you can exit without having to show your private IP addresses to the public. You will learn how to achieve this. You are also guided on how to connect a single router to multiple instances of the VPC. The book discusses how to achieve this by use of the Virtual Routing and Forwarding Technology (VRF), thus, you will learn how to employ the use of this technology. The book also guides you on how to establish a site to site VPN and AWS VPC connection. Lastly, the book guides you on how automate the process of mastering the network in the Amazon VPC. The following topics are discussed in this book: -Establishing a Connection to the Database - IP Routing in AWS VPC - VPC Connection to EC2 Instances - Squid Proxy in Amazon VPC - Connecting a Single Router to Multiple VPCs - Site to Site VPN and AWS VPC - Automation of Network Mastering in Amazon VPC
