Requirements
Course Level: Intermediate
This course is designed for learners who already have a solid understanding of AWS fundamentals such as VPCs, subnets, EC2, route tables, and security groups. If you’re comfortable navigating the AWS console and want to take your networking skills further, this course will guide you through advanced AWS Client VPN scenarios with hands-on labs.
We’ll go beyond the basics and explore real-world configurations including Active Directory integration, multi-factor authentication (MFA), DNS resolution, route propagation, split-tunnel and full-tunnel setups, and transitive routing through PrivateLink and Transit Gateway. Each topic is presented step by step, so you can follow along in your own AWS environment.
By the end of the course, you’ll be confident in designing, deploying, and securing AWS Client VPN across enterprise and hybrid environments. This is a clear step up from foundational knowledge, but it’s still accessible without requiring deep expert-level specialization.
Who this course is for:
- Cloud engineers who want to gain hands-on experience with AWS networking.
- Security engineers aiming to understand VPN authentication, MFA, and directory integration.
- Network engineers transitioning from traditional VPNs to AWS-based remote access solutions.
- IT professionals preparing for AWS networking or security certifications.
- Anyone who wants practical, lab-based learning instead of just theory.
