How to connect to outside world from amazon vpc?

Question

I have amazon VPC set through wizard as \"public only network\", so all my instances are in public subnet.

Instances within VPC that have Elastic IP assigned connect

Answer 1

It appears that the only way to get outside from instances that don't have Elastic IP is:

• add a NAT (Launch an extra m1.small instance from ami-vpc-nat-beta) and assign EIP to it
• Create an extra subnet which will be "private"
• Move non-EIP-instances to that private subnet
• Modify route tables: 0.0.0.0/0 from the private subnet should go to NAT

So, just adding NAT is not enough. Instances should be stopped and moved to another IP from another subnet.
