Absolutely, Ishan! Here’s the refined format for each topic you mentioned, starting with a
short intro, followed by pointwise theory, and finally, the step-by-step AWS Console
implementation.

🔶 1.

Amazon Route 53

📘 What is it?

Amazon Route 53 is a highly available and scalable DNS (Domain Name System) web
service. It helps direct user traffic to applications by converting domain names into IP
addresses.

✅ Pointwise Theory

• Cloud-based DNS service by AWS.

• Supports domain registration and record management.
• Offers traffic routing policies (simple, weighted, geolocation, latency-based).
• Performs health checks for failover routing.
• Integrates with services like S3, CloudFront, and EC2.

🛠 How to Use in AWS Console

1. Go to AWS Console > Route 53

2. Select Hosted Zones → Create Hosted Zone
3. Enter domain name and type (Public/Private)
4. Create record sets (A, CNAME, etc.)
5. (Optional) Enable health checks for failover
🔶 2.

Amazon API Gateway

📘 What is it?

API Gateway is a fully managed service for creating, deploying, and managing APIs at
scale. It acts as a front door for applications to access backend services securely.

✅ Pointwise Theory

• Supports REST and WebSocket APIs.

• Integrates with Lambda, EC2, DynamoDB.
• Supports throttling, caching, and monitoring via CloudWatch.
• Works with IAM, Cognito, Lambda authorizers.
• Enables secure, scalable, and monitored API access.

🛠 How to Use in AWS Console

1. Go to API Gateway
2. Click Create API → Choose REST/HTTP/WebSocket
3. Add routes and connect to backend (Lambda, EC2)
4. Create and deploy stages (e.g., dev, prod)
5. Test your endpoint using the generated URL

🔶 3.

Amazon VPC NAT Gateway

📘 What is it?
A NAT (Network Address Translation) Gateway enables instances in a private subnet to
connect to the internet or other AWS services, while preventing inbound connections from
the internet.

✅ Pointwise Theory

• Deployed in public subnet, associated with Elastic IP.

• Allows outbound traffic from private subnets.
• Used for downloading updates or accessing internet securely.
• Offers better performance than NAT instances.
• Automatically scales within an AZ.

🛠 How to Use in AWS Console

1. Go to VPC → NAT Gateways → Create NAT Gateway

2. Choose public subnet, allocate Elastic IP
3. Attach it to Route Table of private subnet:
o Add route: 0.0.0.0/0 → target: NAT Gateway

🔶 4.

AWS IAM (Identity and Access Management)

📘 What is it?

IAM helps securely control access to AWS services and resources. It lets you define users,
groups, roles, and permissions.

✅ Pointwise Theory

• Central to identity and permission management in AWS.

• Create users and assign policies (fine-grained access).
• Supports Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA).
• Temporary access using roles and STS (Security Token Service).
• Follows least privilege principle.
🛠 How to Use in AWS Console

1. Go to IAM → Users → Add user

2. Choose access type (Programmatic/Console)
3. Attach policies (e.g., AmazonS3FullAccess, custom)
4. Review and create user, download credentials
5. Use roles for cross-service or temporary access

🔶 5.

Public and Private Subnets

📘 What is it?

In a VPC, subnets help segment resources. Public subnets have internet access, while
private subnets are isolated.

✅ Pointwise Theory

• Public subnet: attached to Internet Gateway, for internet-facing resources (e.g.,

Load Balancer).
• Private subnet: no direct internet, for databases/app servers.
• Use NAT Gateway in public subnet to allow outbound access from private subnet.
• Route tables define subnet behavior.

🛠 How to Use in AWS Console

1. Go to VPC → Create VPC → VPC with Public and Private Subnets

2. Assign CIDR blocks to VPC and subnets
3. Attach Internet Gateway to public subnet
4. Set route tables:
o Public subnet → Internet Gateway
o Private subnet → NAT Gateway
Let me know if you want diagrams for each or practice questions for your exam prep.

Elastic IP in AWS

What is Elastic IP?

An Elastic IP address is a static, public IPv4 address provided by AWS. Unlike standard
public IPs, it does not change when you stop/start an instance. It’s mainly used to maintain a
consistent public endpoint for EC2 or NAT Gateway even after rebooting or remapping.

Pointwise Theory

• A static IPv4 address you can allocate to your AWS account.

• Can be attached to EC2, NAT Gateway, etc.
• Helps retain the same IP address even if the instance stops/restarts.
• Only one Elastic IP per instance is free (if associated and used).
• If allocated but not used, AWS charges a small fee.
• Can remap it to a different resource instantly.

Steps to Allocate & Use Elastic IP in AWS Console

1. Go to VPC Dashboard → Elastic IPs in the sidebar.

2. Click on Allocate Elastic IP address.
3. Choose Amazon’s pool of IPs and click Allocate.
4. Select the Elastic IP → Click Actions → Associate Elastic IP address.
5. Choose instance or network interface (e.g., EC2 or NAT Gateway).
6. Confirm → Your instance/NAT now has a static public IP.

Let me know if you want a quick use-case example or diagram for this too!
Amazon VPC (Virtual Private Cloud)

What is VPC?

Amazon VPC lets you create a logically isolated network within the AWS cloud. You can
define your own

Great question, Ishan! Let’s break it down clearly:

🔒
“Preven/ng Inbound, Allowing Outbound” – What It Means in AWS

📘
Concept Summary

This concept is mainly related to NAT Gateways and Private Subnets in Amazon VPC:

• Inbound Traffic: When someone from the internet tries to access your AWS
resource (e.g., EC2) from outside.
• Outbound Traffic: When your AWS resource (like an EC2 in a private subnet) tries
to access the internet (e.g., for software updates).

✅
Example with NAT Gateway

• You place an EC2 instance in a private subnet.

• You want it to access the internet (e.g., to download packages).
• But you don’t want anyone from the internet to access it directly.
• You use a NAT Gateway in a public subnet, which:
o Allows outbound connections to the internet (e.g., for updates).
o Blocks inbound connections initiated from outside (for security).
🔐
Why This Is Important

• Ensures data security: Your private EC2 cannot be directly attacked.

• Allows controlled internet access for downloading patches, APIs, etc.
• Ideal for databases, backend servers, etc.

🔁 Real-life Analogy

Think of your private EC2 like a person behind a firewall:

• They can browse the internet (outbound).

• But nobody from the internet can knock on their door directly (inbound blocked).

Would you like me to draw a visual flowchart or diagram for this concept?
