Networking and Secure Connectivity
This part treats networking as the design of intentional communication paths. It moves from VPC fundamentals to shared transit, hybrid connectivity, edge controls, inspection, and private service access.
What You Will Learn
Plan address spaces, subnets, routes, and security boundaries.
Compare peering, transit, VPN, and Direct Connect options.
Place inspection and edge protection deliberately.
Keep managed-service traffic private when requirements justify it.
Chapters
VPC, Subnets, Routing, and IP Planning — build the basic network and traffic-flow model.
Hybrid Connectivity and Transit Architecture — connect many networks and on-premises environments without accidental complexity.
Network Security, Edge Protection, and Private Access — layer segmentation, inspection, edge controls, and private endpoints.
How the Chapters Connect
VPC structure establishes local boundaries. Transit and hybrid design connect those boundaries at scale. The final chapter controls which paths are exposed, inspected, and kept private.
