Hello Privat33r,
Apology for the late response. Thank you for clarifying the important distinction between private and public subnets and the implications for Internet connectivity.
You are correct that instances in a private subnet cannot be accessed directly over the Internet due to the lack of an Internet Gateway (IGW). The original scenario needed clarification, as it implied that users could somehow access the EC2 instance directly, which contradicts the nature of private subnets. To address this, the scenario should specify that users are accessing the financial information indirectly through the EC2 instance. This can be done, via pre-signed URLs generated by the application that allows secure access to the S3 bucket.
Thank you once again for your valuable feedback. We will update this item, and the changes will be reflected as soon as possible. If you have further questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Regards,
