Internet Gateway

Internet Gateway¶

• Internet Gateways help our VPC instances connect with the internet
• It scales horizontally and is [[Highly Available]] and [[redundant]]
• Must be created separately from VPC
• One VPC can only have attached to one Internet Gateway and vice versa
• Internet Gateway is also a [[NAT]] for the instances that have a [[public IPv4]]
• internet gateways on their own do not allow [[internet access]]
• Route Tables must also be edited

Creating an Internet Gateway¶

It will show as detached

Now if we would try to [[ssh]], it still wouldn't work, because we have to edit the Route Table.
