Custom VPC Network Architecture

Designed and deployed a production-style Virtual Private Cloud on AWS, building a fully segmented and secured network environment from scratch using core AWS networking services.

Built a custom VPC with a defined CIDR block to isolate the network environment
Created two subnets — one public-facing and one private — across availability zones
Attached an Internet Gateway to enable outbound internet access for the public subnet
Configured Security Groups at the instance level to control inbound and outbound traffic rules
Implemented Network ACLs (NACLs) at the subnet level as a stateless firewall layer
