And so we deploy our VPC, as well as an internet gateway and a public subnet with the intent of the traffic using that internet gateway to reach S3. We follow that up with a private subnet, and that's where our application resources are going to go and because we want to follow best practices from a security perspective. Next, we go ahead and provision our application instances so that they're ready to go. And for our application servers to be able to authenticate to S3, we need some sort of permissions.
