AWS re:Invent 2016: Creating Your Virtual Data Center: VPC Fundamentals and Connectivity (NET201)

In this session, we walk through the fundamentals of Amazon VPC. First, we cover build-out and design fundamentals for VPC, including picking your IP space, subnetting, routing, security, NAT, and much more. We then transition into different approaches and use cases for optionally connecting your VPC to your physical data center with VPN or AWS Direct Connect. This mid-level architecture discussion is aimed at architects, network administrators, and technology decision-makers interested in understanding the building blocks that AWS makes available with Amazon VPC and how you can connect this with your offices and current data center footprint.

Must watch for all .. It covers every aspect of VPC

[@SankarP]

The talk was good but I wish she has shown a practical walkthrough of how to create a VPC and security-groups for the two tier web app that she explained.

Minute 48:10, It is not a DNS capture, it is an UDP packet from 109.236.86.32:60000 to 10.0.0.117:27015. One packet (1) of 53 bytes. The number 53 indicates the number of bytes, not the DNS port.

good job (y)

[@user-yv9kf6gi1m]

at 21:50 she mentions 'zero maintenance tools', does anyone know what is meant here?

[@tonyc2227]

She meant that you can use another security group as the source instead of manually maintenance individual CIDR/IP address ranges when instances are launched and terminated in an auto scaling group.

[@cabc74]

Go back to 20:50 approx. She says that using security groups instead of IP addresses in securigy group rules is "a zero maintenance way to do that [filtering]"
