Requirements
Are you brand new to AWS networking or struggling to understand how VPCs, subnets, routing, security groups, NAT, and Direct Connect all fit together? Many resources jump straight into complex jargon, making it hard to build a clear mental model. If you want a beginner-friendly, fast, and practical deep dive to AWS VPC networking, this course is for you.
I’ve taught hundreds of thousands of students across multiple platforms, and I designed this course to make AWS networking simple—even if you’re starting from scratch. Most lessons are 5–10 minutes long, and in just a few hours you’ll understand the core building blocks of AWS networks and how they’re used in real environments.
You’ll learn how VPCs work, how they connect to the internet and to on-premises networks, how routing and security are enforced, and how services like EC2, RDS, and Lambda use ENIs inside your VPC. Hands-on demos walk you through creating VPCs, configuring subnets, setting up NAT gateways, and working with VPC endpoints,.
Start the course now—even with zero AWS experience—and in just a few hours you’ll have a strong foundation in AWS VPC networking. Don’t wait: build your cloud networking skills today!
