vpc end points in 2015


connect aws s3 and dynamo db to the vpc
services retains the public ips.
dns resolves to public ip but connectivity is to directly to AWS backbone
Pythoholic: enhanced security policy -> can be accessed only from a specific vpc
Now it becomes Gateway Endpoints
Private Links:
Vpc End points doesn't require the New form of endpoints

NAT gateway Private link launched in 2017 april


Internet gateway Goal is to ensure all the AWS Services to access as private link endpoint services
In the gateway endpoints, two services are connected in a secured way (vpc and S3 )
Direct Gateway In the private link every services looks like it is available in our vpc( here S3 is available within VPC)
/VPN connection IP Connectivity is fully private

When you create an endpoint, and uses it …it uses the private ip only rather than the service names

Two types:
Private links: have regional and zonal names
Gateway and Interface Private link endpoints works with VPC Security groups
Private link Endpoints works with IAM policies
Private link Endpoints works with Direct Connect
End point:
An URL,
Where a service can be accessed
Interaction point of communication

One end of the commmunication

Public Subnet:

Traffic is routed to the internet gateway


Definitions resides on the route table Private Subnet:
Resources in public network will be assigned the public ip4 address
Traffic is routed within the VPN network itself

Route Table:

VPC has an internal router by default which redirects the traffic

"Rules allow opening connections between networks"


1. Set of rules called Routes which allows traffic paths from one network to another
2. Here, determine where network traffic from your subnet or gateway is redirected
3. VPC will be assigned with a default Route Table and tagged as a main table
4. Default route table routes for all subnets that are not part of any of the route table
5. There can be more than one route table but only one route table acts as main
Idea for having multi route table to seggregate the communication. One of the subnet can interact with
internet gateway whereas others without the same logic to connect to internet
5. A subnet can be associated with only one Route Table. But the vice versa not true !
6. Remove dependency before deleting the route table in a vpc !

VPC :

Communications are governed


1. Internally and Externally

Security Group: NACLS:

Rules allowing incoming and outgoing traffic to and from its associated resources. Set of communication rules on top of the subnet. It's a supplementary to the SGs on top of the instance.
"practically it’s a local firewall at the instance level !"
Subnet should be assigned to only one NACL
SG can be attached only to one VPC. When a vpc created, default security group is created.
Default SG allows all inbound/outbound traffic NACL has a Accept/Deny separately and they are stateless

Newly created SG will have all outbound rules and no inbound rules. We can add a rule to allow and not NACL will control what can enter the subnet and within the subnets you have additional layer of security
to deny provided by SGs

A SG can be associated with more than one aws resources. An Ec2, load balancer etc
An aws resource can be associated with multiple SGs which allows us to do inherit from multi SGs Order of NACL rules important… 100,200,300

Actual destination is Instance itself. So the reference of outgoing/incoming is the resource itself Default NACL cannot be deleted

SGs are stateful, if an outgoing is enabled, then incoming or the response will not be blocked

Order of Precedence:

Incoming:

1. NACL
2. SG
3. If nothing specified, default is denied/blocked
Outgoing:
1. SG
2. NACL

Best Practices:

Whitelist using SG and Blacklist using NACL
