AWS VPC Peering is a service provided by Amazon Web Services (AWS) that allows customers to create peering connections between their Virtual Private Clouds (VPCs). It enables direct communication between VPCs in the same AWS account or in different AWS accounts within the same region.

Intro to VPC Internet Gateway
A Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) Internet Gateway (IGW) is a horizontally scaled, highly available AWS-managed component that allows communication between resources in your VPC and the internet. It serves as a connection point and facilitates the exchange of traffic between your VPC and the public internet.
Indepth look into ELB types
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Load Balancer (ELB) is a fully-managed load balancing service that can distribute traffic across multiple compute resources to improve application availability, scalability, and performance. There are four types of ELB provided by AWS:
- Classic Load Balancer (CLB)
- Application Load Balancer (ALB)
- Network Load Balancer (NLB)
- Gateway Load Balancer (GLB)
Intro to AWS Elastic Load Balancing
AWS Application Load Balancer (ALB) is a service that provides advanced load balancing capabilities for HTTP and HTTPS traffic at the application layer (Layer 7) of the OSI model. ALB routes incoming traffic to different targets, such as Amazon EC2 instances, ECS tasks, or Lambda functions, based on rules that you define.
Intro to Subnet and VPC
A subnet in AWS VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) is a range of IP addresses in your VPC that you can use to launch your resources, such as EC2 instances or RDS databases. A subnet is a subdivision of an IP network, which enables you to segment and isolate different parts of your network.
When you create a VPC, you can create one or more subnets within it. Each subnet must be associated with a specific availability zone within a region. Availability zones are physically separate locations within a region, each with its own power source, network, and connectivity to other availability zones.
