Description: A private subnet is a portion of a network that is not directly accessible from the Internet, providing a secure environment for the resources and services running within it. In the context of cloud computing and networking, private subnets allow users to create an isolated network infrastructure where they can deploy applications and databases without exposing them to the public network. These subnets are essential for protecting sensitive data and complying with security regulations, as they can only be accessed through secure connections, such as VPN or Direct Connect. Private subnets can communicate with other subnets within the same network and with the Internet through a NAT (Network Address Translation) gateway, which allows access to external resources without compromising the security of the internal network. This configuration is fundamental for modern application architectures, where a balance between accessibility and security is sought, enabling organizations to manage their resources efficiently and securely.
