thats ok. <br />

Things have changed a bit since 2011. Today VPC has a feature called &quot;Internet gateway&quot; that allows a server in VPC to connect directly to the internet. <br />

Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
I'm currently taking a look at cloud computing and cloud databases. In my project I'd like to use VPN (ie. Amazon VPC) to increase the security.<br />
<br />
In fact, the setup will be 2 folded:<br />
<br />
a) a VPN side which will permit my in-house computers to connect to a cloud and handle Cloud DBs and Cloud Apps.<br />
b) some user in the internet must be able to connect to Cloud Apps to receive some real time data send from my in-house computers through the VPN to the cloud apps which will relay to an application than runs on a customer machine.<br />
<br />
The cloud app must have one leg in the VPC and another with public accessible. Image one server with 2 network cards, one mapped to a company VPN, the other one mapped to the office LAN.<br />
<br />
My questions:<br />
<br />
1) Is it possible to create cloud VPNs which have a public and a private part?<br />
2) Is it necessary to create a bridge between the public and the VPN part of the cloud?<br />
<br />
Thanks for your help :)

Cloud Apps, VPN and security

Cloud computing, also known as on-demand computing, is a kind of Internet-based computing where shared resources and information are provided to computers and other devices. It is a model for enabling ubiquitous, on-demand access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources. Cloud computing and storage solutions provide users and enterprises with various capabilities to store and process their data in third-party data centers, relying on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale.
