AWS network services explained in simple terms
A VPC is a way to namespace services in AWS
From eli the compter guy
A host is a node in the network! so a router or wifi at home is also a host! has a hostname
A gateway is just a router! You use this host as a “gateway” to the internet.
Private IP! these are IP that are not internet addressable! Even if you assign a host with this ip address you cannot reach it in the internet. So AWS uses this private ips and divides them to be used. You also use these ips when assigning subnets!
