Preparation Steps

Overview of VPC Workshop Preparation

ℹ️ What You’ll Build
In this workshop, you will build a complete Amazon VPC environment following AWS best practices for network architecture and security. You’ll create all the essential components needed for a production-ready VPC deployment.

The architecture we’ll implement is illustrated in the diagram below:

Create VPC

⚠️ Important Considerations
This workshop builds a multi-AZ VPC architecture with both public and private subnets. Ensure you understand the cost implications of creating these resources in your AWS account. While most VPC components are free, associated resources like NAT Gateways do incur charges.

Workshop Contents

  1. Create VPC
  2. Create Subnet
  3. Create Internet Gateway

💡 Pro Tip
While you can create a VPC and its components using the VPC Wizard, this workshop guides you through creating each component individually to help you better understand how they work together.
