00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,840
‫Now let's talk about the AWS client VPN.

2
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:05,760
‫So the idea is that you have your computer

3
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,930
‫and you want to privately connect into your AWS VPC.

4
00:00:09,930 --> 00:00:12,300
‫Therefore you will leverage the client VPN

5
00:00:12,300 --> 00:00:15,150
‫to establish a connection using the open VPN

6
00:00:15,150 --> 00:00:18,030
‫to your private network in AWS or on premises.

7
00:00:18,030 --> 00:00:19,830
‫I will show you how in the second.

8
00:00:19,830 --> 00:00:21,240
‫Why would you want to do so?

9
00:00:21,240 --> 00:00:24,930
‫Well, for example say you have deployed EC2 instances

10
00:00:24,930 --> 00:00:28,350
‫in a private VPC and you want to access them

11
00:00:28,350 --> 00:00:29,880
‫using a private IP.

12
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:32,280
‫Well, that's difficult if you don't have a VPN

13
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,500
‫but if you have a VPN, then it's super easy.

14
00:00:34,500 --> 00:00:36,900
‫Once the VPN connection is established

15
00:00:36,900 --> 00:00:39,090
‫you will be able to access your EC2 instances

16
00:00:39,090 --> 00:00:40,770
‫using their private IP

17
00:00:40,770 --> 00:00:43,860
‫just as if you were in the VPC network yourself.

18
00:00:43,860 --> 00:00:45,660
‫So your VPC is right here

19
00:00:45,660 --> 00:00:50,070
‫and then your client's VPN is installed on your computer.

20
00:00:50,070 --> 00:00:53,220
‫You will establish the VPN connection over the internet.

21
00:00:53,220 --> 00:00:55,530
‫So this goes over the public internet, of course.

22
00:00:55,530 --> 00:00:58,500
‫And then you will be as if you are connected

23
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:00,630
‫privately into your VPC.

24
00:01:00,630 --> 00:01:04,320
‫And if your VPC has established a site to site

25
00:01:04,320 --> 00:01:07,920
‫VPN connection to your on-premises data center

26
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,610
‫then your computer will also be able to access,

27
00:01:11,610 --> 00:01:15,720
‫privately, your servers on your, on premises data center.

28
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,580
‫And that's pretty magical, but it works.

29
00:01:17,580 --> 00:01:18,630
‫I hope you liked it.

30
00:01:18,630 --> 00:01:20,580
‫And I will see you in the next lecture.
