# 🚀 Successfully Built a Secure & Scalable AWS VPC Network! 🔥🌐
## 📌 Project Overview
This project focuses on designing and deploying a fully functional **AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)** to ensure **secure, scalable, and efficient cloud networking**.
Through hands-on implementation, I gained expertise in AWS networking, subnet segmentation, security configurations, private cloud infrastructure, database isolation, and inter-region connectivity.
## 🔍 Key Features & Implementation
### ✅ **Understanding VPC & Its Usage**
- Explored how **VPCs provide network isolation, security, and controlled access** in AWS.
### ✅ **Created a Custom VPC**
- Defined my own VPC named **`my-vpc-1`** with a **custom IPv4 CIDR block**.
### ✅ **Configured Subnets for Efficient Networking**
- **Public subnet** for internet-facing resources.
- **Private subnet** for internal workloads.
### ✅ **Set Up an Internet Gateway**
- Attached an **Internet Gateway** to allow instances in the **public subnet** to securely access the internet.
### ✅ **Created Route Tables & Associations**
- Configured a **custom route table** for the VPC.
- Added a route to **connect the Internet Gateway** for external access.
### ✅ **Launched an EC2 Instance in Public Subnet**
- Instance **`test1`**, assigned a **public IP**, and verified **internet connectivity**.
### ✅ **Built a Secure Private Subnet for Database**
- Created **Subnet 2** to **restrict database access** to private IPs only.
### ✅ **Deployed a NAT Gateway for Private Subnet**
- Placed a **NAT Gateway** in Subnet 1, enabling **outbound internet access** for private instances while maintaining security.
### ✅ **Launched a Private Instance in Subnet 2**
- Created an **EC2 instance without a public IP**, making it accessible only within the **private network**.
### ✅ **Installed a Database in the Private Subnet**
- Set up a **database server** that is only reachable via the private IP of **Subnet 2**, ensuring **strong security practices**.
### ✅ **Established SSH Connection via Bastion Host**
- Logged into **Instance 1 (Public Subnet)**.
- Generated a **key pair (`Key.pem`)**.
- Set permissions and **used SSH to access the private instance** securely.
### ✅ **Implemented VPC Peering for Cross-Region Connectivity**
- Set up a **VPC Peering Connection** to enable **secure communication between two VPCs** in different AWS regions.
- Configured **Requester and Accepter VPCs** and verified the **peering connection**.
## 🚀 Why This Project Matters?
- **Essential skill for Cloud Engineers & DevOps Professionals**.
- Strengthens expertise in **AWS networking, infrastructure security, and cloud scalability**.
- Demonstrates best practices for **secure VPC design & inter-region connectivity**.
## 🛠️ Tech Stack
- **AWS VPC**
- **AWS EC2**
- **AWS Subnets (Public & Private)**
- **Internet & NAT Gateways**
- **Route Tables & Peering**
- **Bastion Host for Secure SSH Access**
- **Private Database Hosting**
