Description: A route table association connects a subnet to a route table in your VPC (Virtual Private Cloud). This connection is fundamental for routing traffic within cloud environments. Each route table contains a set of rules, known as routes, that determine how network traffic is sent. By associating a route table with a subnet, it establishes how traffic entering and leaving that subnet will be managed. This allows network administrators to define specific routes for internal traffic as well as for traffic directed to the Internet or other networks. Route table associations are essential for configuring complex networks, as they allow granular control over data flow, enhancing security and traffic efficiency. Additionally, each subnet can have its own route table, providing flexibility in network management. In summary, route table association is a key component in cloud network architecture, allowing users to customize and optimize traffic routing in their environments.
