Managing an Internet Gateway

An Internet Gateway is an AWS component that enables communication between resources hosted in the VPC and the internet. It is a horizontally scalable and highly available component. It doesn't enforce any network bandwidth constraints. It is the channel through which services hosted inside the VPC are accessed by the outside world. It also enables resources hosted in the AWS to connect to the internet.
