EC2 Network Interface
Description
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) Network Interfaces provide an isolated virtual network interface for instances launched in a VPC. They are allocated a private IP address from the IP address range of the VPC and serve as the primary network interface for associated instances. EC2 Network Interfaces enable communication between instances in different subnets, allow access to AWS services, and facilitate communication with external networks via NAT gateways or VPN connections. EC2 Network Interfaces can also be used to manage outbound traffic when multiple instances share one public IP address, allowing customers to control which traffic goes out via which interface.
