AWS Whitepapers
Module 03 focuses on VPC networking fundamentals using the Amazon VPC User Guide as the primary reference. There are no AWS whitepapers dedicated specifically to introductory VPC networking. For broader networking architecture guidance, see the following:
- Building a Scalable and Secure Multi-VPC AWS Network Infrastructure: Covers advanced multi-VPC networking patterns including centralized egress, transit gateways, and VPC peering. This whitepaper goes beyond Module 03 scope but provides useful context for students who want to explore VPC networking in depth.

AWS Architecture References
No specific architecture references for this module. The two-tier and three-tier VPC architecture patterns covered in the lesson content are foundational patterns that appear throughout the AWS Architecture Center. Students will encounter these patterns in practice during later modules when deploying multi-tier applications with load balancers (Module 07), databases (Module 06), and containers (Module 10).
