Route Table


Resource Icon​

Resource Overview​

An AWS VPC (Virtual Private Cloud) Route Table is an AWS resource that defines how traffic within subnets of the VPC should be directed to its destination. Every subnet in a VPC is associated with one or more route tables, which specify routing rules for targets such as internet gateways, NAT gateways, VPC endpoints, or VPN connections. The route table routes traffic based on the order of the routing rules, and all traffic originating from a subnet is directed to its destination through the associated route table. This allows subnets within the VPC to securely communicate with the internet or other VPCs.
