VPC Workshops

During the class we will attempt to run the following experiment.

Create VPC Subnets

VPC Endpoint

You are a security engineer on a team responsible for applications hosted in AWS. You have been asked to help your company’s software development team implement a solution to securely share data between a sales application and a reports engine. The CEO has asked the development team to create a dashboard report using sales and compensation data.

Your CEO has mandated that sales data in transit should not be on the Internet. She has asked that you work with the development team to demonstrate that extracted sales data is encrypted in transit and that data is transmitted across private network segments only. The development team has begun building a lab environment inside an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), but now need your assistance securing the setup further. You plan to meet this requirement by using VPC Endpoints.

Advanced VPC Networking

Network Architecture of virtual Data Center connecting to AWS VPCs

We will emulate a data center as a stand alone VPC and we will connect it to AWS Cloud. Within your own AWS account, you can explore how a scalable hybrid network works with Transit Gateway, VPN, Route 53 Resolver, and VPC Endpoints. Instead of connecting back to a real Datacenter, we will mock up a Datacenter in AWS using Cisco and Juniper software to emulate VPN connectivity from Datacenters and with a Bind Server for the Datacenter DNS.
