In this lab, you will set up a secure Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) environment and implement Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies to ensure robust security and compliance. You will create subnets, configure route tables, deploy EC2 instances, and manage access permissions using IAM roles and policies. This hands-on experience is crucial for understanding the integration of security and networking on AWS, preparing you for both exam scenarios and real-world cloud environments.
As a cloud operations engineer for a tech company, you are tasked with establishing a secure network infrastructure to host a new line of applications. The company mandates the use of AWS best practices for network isolation and strict access controls to protect sensitive data. Your objective is to set up a VPC with both public and private subnets, deploy EC2 instances, and apply appropriate IAM roles and policies. Implementation of security best practices is a key focus.
