Amazon Virtual Private Cloud is a foundational AWS offering that allows you to define isolated virtual networks to host your cloud infrastructure. Amazon VPC gives you full control over:
- Subnet creation
- Route configuration
- How your infrastructure can access the public internet
- Traffic control, with Security Groups and Network Access Control Lists (NACLs)
- Traffic logging with Flow Logs
Creating and configuring a new Amazon VPC to meet specific requirements is a task that people aiming to get AWS certified should be able to accomplish.
This lab assumes that you understand Amazon VPC features, concepts, and terminology. If you are unfamiliar with Amazon VPC, Cloud Academy recommends completing the courses mentioned in the prerequisites before attempting this lab challenge.
In this lab challenge, you will be tested on your practical ability to build out a solution in a production-like AWS environment. You are presented with a task and a set of requirements that you must fulfill to pass the challenge. This is a real environment, which means you can prove your knowledge in an applied situation, leaving behind multiple choice questions for a dynamic performance-based exam situation.
