If you have ever tried to put an app on AWS, you know that you first need to absorb a ton of knowledge about AWS networking. Before you set up that first EC2 instance, you need to know terms like VPCs, subnets, security groups, and internet gateways. You need to remember how CIDR notation works, and that networking class you took suddenly feels like a long time ago. Without a solid understanding of AWS networking, you may be able to start up an EC2 instance, but you will have a hard time getting it connected to the internet.
This series of posts will get you up to speed on AWS networking, so you can get an app up on AWS. Every post is meant to be easy to understand, and spends time really explaining the concepts, so you understand how things work, and can adapt them to fit your use case. Each post is full of illustrations that I hope will brighten your journey as you learn AWS networking. Good luck and happy reading!
