Course Description

              An AWS Advanced Networking course typically covers the design, implementation, and management of complex network architectures within the AWS cloud environment. It focuses on advanced networking concepts, including VPCs, hybrid networks, and network security, preparing individuals for the AWS Certified Advanced Networking Specialty certification.

Course Outline For AWS Advanced Networking

1. AWS core networking concepts and services

  • Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) deep dive: Understanding VPC structure, subnets, route tables, network ACLs, security groups, and IPv4/IPv6 addressing.
  • VPC peering: Connecting multiple VPCs within the same or different regions, enabling secure communication between them.
  • NAT Gateway and Internet Gateway: Enabling internet access for private subnets and allowing public resources to communicate with the internet.
  • VPC endpoints and PrivateLink: Providing private connectivity to AWS services and exposing services to other VPCs or accounts securely.
  • Elastic Load Balancing (ELB): Using Application Load Balancers (ALB), Network Load Balancers (NLB), and Gateway Load Balancers (GWLB) for traffic distribution, high availability, and security.
  • Amazon Route 53: Managing DNS services, including hosted zones, record types, health checks, and traffic flow policies.
  • Amazon CloudFront: Optimizing content delivery and improving web application performance using a global Content Delivery Network (CDN). 

2. Hybrid networking

  • AWS Site-to-Site VPN: Establishing secure and encrypted connections between on-premises networks and AWS VPCs over the public internet.
  • AWS Direct Connect (DX): Creating dedicated network connections between on-premises networks and AWS, bypassing the internet for improved performance and security.
  • AWS Transit Gateway (TGW): Centralizing network connectivity for multiple VPCs and on-premises networks, simplifying routing and reducing management complexity.
  • Direct Connect + Transit Gateway + Site-to-Site VPN: Combining these services to build resilient and scalable hybrid network architectures.
  • AWS Client VPN: Enabling remote access for users to connect to AWS resources securely. 

3. Network performance optimization

  • Placement Groups: Optimizing network latency and throughput for EC2 instances within a cluster.
  • Enhanced Networking (ENA/EFA): Improving network performance and features for EC2 instances.
  • Optimizing data transfer: Reducing data transfer costs and maximizing throughput using services like VPC Endpoints, Direct Connect, and CloudFront. 

4. Network security and compliance

  • AWS WAF and AWS Network Firewall: Protecting applications and networks from various threats like DDoS attacks and malicious traffic.
  • AWS Shield: Providing managed DDoS protection for applications.
  • VPC Flow Logs: Monitoring and analyzing network traffic within VPCs for security and troubleshooting purposes.
  • Traffic Mirroring: Copying network traffic to security appliances for inspection and analysis.
  • Implementing security controls: Designing network architectures to meet security and compliance standards.
  • Network encryption: Securing data in transit using techniques like VPN over Direct Connect and TLS/SSL. 

5. Network automation and management

  • Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Automating network deployments and configurations using tools like AWS CloudFormation and AWS CDK.
  • Network performance monitoring: Using Amazon CloudWatch and VPC Flow Logs to monitor network performance and troubleshoot issues.
  • Troubleshooting network connectivity: Utilizing tools like VPC Reachability Analyzer to diagnose network problems.
