Creating an Application load balancer for the VPC

 1. Create a VPC


2. Create Subnets (Two public subnets and two private subnets).


3. Create an Internet gateway and attach it to the VPC created.


4. Create a NAT gateway with a private subnet created.


5. Create a route table for public subnets, edit the subnet associations and routes.


6. Create a route table for private subnets and edit the subnet associations and routes.


7. Now we have to launch EC2 instances for each public and private subnets. Add proper vpc and subnet, plus create a security policy.



8. Navigate to advanced settings and add following commands in user data


9. Repeat the above steps to create second instance as well.


10. Create a load balancer.

11. In security groups tab click on create new a add the following inbound rules


12. Now choose this security group in the load balancer tab In listeners and routing section create a new target group and add the ec2s previously created into the target group leave the group details section as such and proceed to register targets.



13.  add the new security group we have created to the ec-2 to security group that was created earlier


14. Navigate to load balancer tab and copy the DNS name, paste the URL in a new tab


15. You will notice the following website with the following pages after successive reloads now we can confirm that our load balancer is working as expected

Creating a VPC Network

Image
1. In services, go to VPC and click Create VPC. 2. In the IPv4 CIDR block, enter the IP address 10.0.0.0/16 3. The VPC is launched. 4. 'Project-vpc' is now made available. 5. Now let us create 4 subnets (2 public and 2 private subnets) 6. All 4 subnets have been created. 7. Time to create an Internet gateway. 8. Successfully created an internet gateway 'Swetha's Internet Gateway'. 9. We have to attach this igw to the vpc created. 10. Now let us create Route tables. (One for public subnets and one for private subnets) 11. Edit the subnet associations. 12. Similarly create another route table for private subnets. 13. Edit the subnet associations for this one as well. 14. Configure   the public route table to route all requests to the ISP 15. Create a fresh EC2 instance, change the VPC and subnet in network settings 16. S imilarly create a new instance in VPC again with a public subnet 17.  Now the public subnet can be accessed via public IP

Network Virtualization

Image
N etwork virtualization allows network functions, hardware resources, and software resources to be delivered independently of hardware, as a virtual network. It can be used to combine many physical networks, subdivide a network, or connect virtual machines  together.  It enables the grouping of nodes in a virtual network and also  enables the virtual network to share network resources. C ommunication between nodes in a virtual network without routing of frames is made possible. Network Virtualization software enables the virtual deployment of a full network and decouples network functions from the actual hardware. It enables the use of the fundamental physical network as the packet-forwarding backplane while enabling programmatic creation, provisioning, and management of networks completely within the software. Switching, routing, firewalling, load balancing, virtual private networks, and other physical network packets are bundled and supplied in software. The underlying ...

EC2 Instance accessible via remote client

Image
1. Launch an EC2 instance 'Swetha Ec2 Remote Client'. 2. Create a key pair in .pem Format and launch the instance. 3. The instance is launched successfully. 4. In windows, open the putty key generator, and load the .pem file and save the private key in .ppk format. 5. Open WinSCP. Click on New Site. Copy the Public IPv4 address of the instance launched and paste it into the hostname in WinSCP. 6. Open advanced site settings, go to authentication, and upload the private key file. 7. Save the changes and click on Login.  EC2 instance accessible via a remote client in AWS is created.
