Security
Amazon VPCs - virtual networks allowing you to to provision a logically isolated section of your cloud where you can deploy AWS resources and have full control over your virtual networking environment - are a cornerstone of AWS computing. VPCs provide unique and customizable IP address ranges, subnets, route tables, and network gateways. They play an important role in a wide range of scenarios, from the complex to the relatively straightforward.
Mastering VPC concepts is not easy, so our expert Linux System Administrator David Clinton created this course to help you to get started. When you're done, you should be able to intelligently integrate VPC configuration into your cloud architecture. You learn about basic VPC usage, how to create a subnet, and how to deploy a whole virtual intranet in your cloud.
Who should take this course
As this is an intermediate to advanced course, you will need some previous experience with AWS to fully understand it. Basic knowledge about EC2 and IAM will be taken for granted, and in particular you should have a good knowledge of the TCP/IP stack to fully appreciate some course elements.
If you'd like to improve your EC2 and general AWS knowledge, check out our other courses. Also, you may want to challenge yourself with our questions if you want to test your knowledge after taking this course.
David taught high school for twenty years, worked as a Linux system administrator for five years, and has been writing since he could hold a crayon between his fingers. His childhood bedroom wall has since been repainted.
Having worked directly with all kinds of technology, David derives great pleasure from completing projects that draw on as many tools from his toolkit as possible.
Besides being a Linux system administrator with a strong focus on virtualization and security tools, David writes technical documentation and user guides, and creates technology training videos.
His favorite technology tool is the one that should be just about ready for release tomorrow. Or Thursday.
