Launch an EC2 Instance in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)
In this hands-on lab, you'll launch an Amazon EC2 instance within a custom Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). You’ll design and configure a basic VPC architecture that includes a public subnet, an internet gateway, and route tables to manage network traffic. Finally, you’ll launch an EC2 instance into the public subnet and configure its security group to allow external access. By completing this lab, you will strengthen your understanding of core AWS networking concepts and gain practical experience deploying compute resources securely within a VPC.
