Internet Gateway and Route Table

Create an Internet Gateway and Route Table in AWS with appropriate routing rules to allow specific types of traffic between the VPC and the internet, such as HTTP, HTTPS, and DNS.

If you are deploying Datalogz into a private VPC to connect to an on-premises RESTful API exposed by the BI tool (e.g. Tableau Server) you can skip this step.

Ensure that access is restricted to specific IP addresses or network ranges and that appropriate security measures are implemented to protect the VPC and its resources.

1. Go to the VPC dashboard and select the Internet Gateway option.

2. Click on the Create Internet Gateway button.

3. Provide a name for the Internet Gateway such as datalogz-internet-gateway.

4. Click on the Create Internet Gateway button to create the gateway.

5. Note down the ID of the Internet Gateway created, as it will be needed in step 13.

6. Go to the Route Table option and click on the Create Route Table button.

7. Provide a name for the Route Table, such as datalogz-route-table.

8. Select the VPC that was created earlier in the VPC Deployment section.

9. Click on the Create Route Table button to create the route table.

10. Go to the Subnet Association section of the route table and click on the Edit Subnet Association button.

11. Select the two subnets that were created earlier in the Subnet Deployment section.

12. Click on the Save association button to save the subnet associations.

13. Finally, go to the Routes section of the route table and click on the Edit routes button.

14. Click on the Add routes button, and enter the destination as 0.0.0.0/0 and the target as the ID of the Internet Gateway that was created earlier in step 5.

15. Click on the Save changes button to save the new route.
