Amazon expands cloud for enterprise virtual private networking

Amazon Web Services (AWS) has its Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), supplemented by some network functions for companies. According to a press release similar to VPC – a shielded area within the Amazon cloud – of the new features now more like a network in the company’s data center. Administrators can use software wizard, command line tools and plan the existing interfaces (APIs), a network topology and immediately roll out when needed.

Before the upgrade was the only access to VPC via VPN (Virtual Private Network). AWS can now create users directly via the web to connect, with Amazon’s security features like access lists and group policy provides.

The configuration wizard for VPC has four settings: One is to operate his private cloud with a subnet that is directly connected to the Web. This is from the rest of the Amazon cloud services shielded. Hence the name “Virtual Private Cloud”. The subnet can be reached via the Internet to add a private subnet that has a normal web link is not accessible. It can also build using Network Address Translation (NAT) on my own connections to the outside.

Possible, a direct web access and VPN access are the same. So you can build a secure connection between VPC and the domestic data center. The classic configuration is ultimately a private cloud, users only have access to the VPN.

There is also the possibility of a private cloud using an Internet gateway to equip, which controls the incoming and outgoing traffic. This can simplify the data exchange with other Amazon products. Without the Gateway would have the data only via a VPN connection to send to the corporate network and then back via the Web, such as to an Amazon S3 instance.

The establishment of a VPC is free for AWS customers, according to an article in the Amazon blog. For the data traffic between the private cloud and instances of Amazon Simple Storage Service S3 and Amazon Elastic Cloud (EC2) is also no charge. Only for the operation of an instance and related services such as VPN and Internet bandwidth demands Amazon charges.
