    IP Adressses Use Cases

    Uploaded by

    AWS uses both public and private IP addresses to enable communication between EC2 instances within a VPC and with the internet. Elastic IP addresses provide a static public IP that can be remapped between instances, while instances are assigned public or private IP addresses depending on the subnet. Private IP addresses allow internal communication and remain until an instance is stopped, while public IPs are dynamic by default but can be made static with an Elastic IP. VPC and subnet CIDR blocks define the overall IP address space and ranges available for instances.

    In AWS (Amazon Web Services), IP addresses work similarly to IP addresses

    in traditional networking, but with some additional features and


    management options specific to the AWS environment. Here are some key
    aspects of how IP addresses work in AWS:

    1. Elastic IP Addresses (EIP): In AWS, you have the option to allocate


    an Elastic IP address to your instances. An Elastic IP address is a static,
    public IPv4 address that you can associate with your AWS account
    and remap to different instances within the same region. This
    provides a fixed public IP address for your resources, even if you stop
    or terminate an instance.
    2. Public IP Addresses: When you launch an EC2 instance in a public
    subnet, it is automatically assigned a public IP address by default.
    This allows the instance to communicate with the internet directly.
    The public IP address is dynamic and can change if you stop and
    restart the instance. However, you can use an Elastic IP address to
    provide a fixed public IP for instances that need a stable public
    address.
    3. Private IP Addresses: Each EC2 instance launched in a VPC is
    assigned a private IP address from the IP address range defined for
    the VPC's subnet. Private IP addresses are used for internal
    communication between instances within the VPC and are not
    accessible from the internet directly. Private IP addresses remain
    unchanged unless you stop and restart the instance.
    4. VPC CIDR Block: When you create a VPC, you define an IP address
    range for the entire VPC. This IP address range is known as the VPC
    CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) block. It determines the range
    of IP addresses available for the instances and resources within the
    VPC. For example, a common VPC CIDR block is "10.0.0.0/16," which
    allows for up to 65,536 IP addresses.
    5. Subnet CIDR Blocks: Within a VPC, you create subnets, each with its
    own IP address range, known as the subnet CIDR block. Subnets are
    logical segments of the VPC that allow you to organize resources and
    control traffic flow. Instances launched in a subnet are assigned IP
    addresses from that subnet's CIDR block.
    6. NAT Gateway and NAT Instances: When instances in private
    subnets need to access the internet for updates or to download
    software, they use Network Address Translation (NAT) to
    communicate through a public subnet with a public IP. AWS provides
    NAT Gateway and NAT Instances for this purpose.
    7. IPv6 Support: AWS also supports IPv6, and you can enable IPv6 for
    your VPC and subnets if needed. IPv6 provides a large address space
    and is becoming increasingly important as IPv4 addresses become
    scarce.

    Overall, IP addresses in AWS play a crucial role in enabling communication


    between instances, both within the VPC and with the internet. Elastic IP
    addresses offer flexibility and stability for public-facing resources, while
    private IP addresses facilitate secure internal communication within the
    VPC. The VPC CIDR block and subnet CIDR blocks define the overall IP
    address space available to your resources, and proper planning is essential
    to ensure efficient use of IP addresses within your AWS environment.
