Hands-on experience configuring a virtual network [closed]

I want to understand the details of how a VPC or virtual overlay network is setup. I'll personally learn it best if I get some hands-on experience doing it.

I was wondering if I can rent a few machines on EC2. I know EC2 will put them inside a default AWS VPC. But the practice exercise I was thinking to do is to partition these EC2 VMs into a couple of virtual network that I configure myself and then also establish routing between them to learn how to configure routing, gateways etc.

Do you think all this is possible? Is there a tutorial I can follow to learn how to setup Virtual private networks manually?

Solution 1:

AWS and Azure both have a free tier where you can practice to your heart’s content.
