The Route Table, also referred to as the routing table, is responsible for providing routing instructions within a network and is associated with specific subnets.
For instance, in the scenario where a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is established with the network layer 10.10.0.0/16
, along with two subnets, 10.10.1.0/24
and 10.10.2.0/24
, each default subnet will be allocated a default route table.
Inside the route table, there will exist a route entry with the following details:
10.10.0.0/16
local
This particular route entry signifies that resources created within the same VPC can communicate with each other.
