Languages Available: Español (Latinoamérica) | 日本語 | 한국어 | Português (Brasil)

This lab is designed to provide a hands-on walkthrough of setting up an AWS environment that properly utilizes AWS Network Firewall. In this lab, you walk through each step to learn the fine grained details of what it takes to have the proper networking infrastructure to route and block traffic with AWS Network Firewall. You start with a simple, single VPC and single firewall and build from there. After completing this lab, you end up with one VPC and up to three subnets. Multiple EC2 instances are used during the course of this lab to help test network connectivity.
