What you'll learn

AWS access and application-delivery requests are often stated as symptoms or desired outcomes, leaving engineers to determine the exact controls to implement and changes to make, while still proving they haven’t granted any unintended access. In this course, Securing and Delivering AWS Network Traffic, you’ll gain the ability to translate those requests into enforced, tested AWS networking changes. First, you’ll explore how to use security groups to permit only the required workload communication and verify both allowed and blocked traffic. Next, you’ll discover how to enforce subnet-level restrictions with network ACLs and recognize when centralized inspection with AWS Network Firewall is appropriate. Finally, you’ll learn how to publish a private application through an application load balancer and use Route 53 to direct clients to the correct endpoint without changing the application’s access boundary. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of AWS traffic security and delivery needed to implement secure application paths and validate both intended and blocked behavior.
