Networking has been an area of focus for all the leading cloud service providers. AWS has a suite of network-related products which help in performing network related task on AWS.

By the end of this book, you will have hands-on experience of working with network tasks on AWS.

Summary

Well done! We are at the end of this chapter, so let's summarize what we have covered. We understood the need for AWS Direct Connect, looked at an overview of Direct Connect, and then we covered how to start out with AWS Direct Connect using private and public virtual interfaces. In the next chapter, we will cover the shared responsibility model, identity and access management, security groups, and network ACL-related details. We will perform IAM best practices step by step and enable multifactor authentication to make AWS access more secure than before.
