AWS Networking Services (CLF-C02)

Welcome to the AWS Networking Services practice lab. In this module, you will be provided with the instructions and devices needed to develop your hands-on skills.

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a networking service that provisions a logically isolated part of the AWS Cloud where users can launch their own AWS resources. VPC provides control over IP addressing, subnets, routing tables, and network gateways. Additionally, AWS Route 53 is a Domain Name System (DNS) service used to route end users to Internet applications. Together, VPC and Route 53 empower users to build highly secure, scalable, and reliable networking architectures in the AWS Cloud.

In this module, you will explore networking services such as VPC and Route 53.
