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

Or create a NAT Instance within the public VPC and add a static route to that NAT instance

route add -net 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 gw 10.0.0.5 eth0

where 10.0.0.5 is your nat instance, just make sure your the security group which contains the NAT instance can accept internal traffic from the boxes you require internet access
