Create public and private subnets in AWS VPC to secure your containers

Deploying containers into a VPC becomes more secure by creating them in a private subnet. This means they can't automatically be accessed from the internet. 🔒

Since you don't get private subnets in the default VPC in your AWS account, in this video I'll show you exactly how to create a VPC with public and private subnets. We'll be doing this using the templating language AWS CloudFormation, which means you can try out the example yourself.

Note: if you are a beginner, you should create everything manually. It is the best way to learn!

Tom, I have a question about our architecture. we are looking at load balancer to map /ca or /us in our url paths to different region but understood that the load balancers works in one region only. doyou have any kind of video or tutorial for load balancers and this kind of design in application level?

Hi, How can we find by looking into IP address is that private or public?

Private subnet can be outbound to internet. But can they be inbound (from the internet)? Thanks
