An administrator is tasked with providing VMs outbound internet connectivity in AWS.

To provide VMs with outbound internet connectivity in AWS using a private subnet, the administrator needs to create the following components in the VPC:

Private Subnet: A private subnet is required to house the VMs that need outbound internet access but do not require direct inbound access from the internet.

NAT Gateway: A NAT (Network Address Translation) Gateway is necessary to allow instances in the private subnet to connect to the internet or other AWS services while preventing the internet from initiating a connection with those instances.

Public EIP (Elastic IP Address): An EIP is associated with the NAT Gateway to provide a persistent public IP address that allows outbound internet traffic from the private subnet to be routed correctly.

Route Table: A route table is configured to route traffic from the private subnet to the NAT Gateway for outbound internet access.
