AWS VPC vs Real Network: Cloud vs On-Premises 🌐

Understanding cloud networking in AWS can be confusing — but not anymore!
In this video, Network Educative breaks down AWS networking components and compares them to real-world (on-premises) networking devices to make it super simple.

This is perfect for beginners in cloud networking, DevOps, or those preparing for AWS certifications.

📊 AWS Networking vs Real Network – Explained:
The AWS cloud infrastructure may seem abstract, but it's modeled very closely after traditional on-prem networks. Here's how each component in AWS maps to real network elements:

💡 Real-World Analogy:
Imagine a traditional company network:

Your building = VPC

Office departments = Subnets (VLANs)

Employee laptops firewalls = Security Groups

Main building router/firewall = NACL

Internet access with private IPs = NAT Gateway

Routing logic between floors and the internet = Route Table

AWS just brings all this into the cloud with flexibility, scalability, and high availability.

📚 Use Case Example:
You want to host a secure web application:

VPC = Isolated cloud network

Subnet = Public and private zones

Security Group = Allow only port 80/443

NACL = Block suspicious IP ranges

NAT Gateway = Let private servers download updates

Route Table = Direct internet-bound traffic properly
