Question

Mahesh B · Accepted Answer

NAT translates the private IP of an EC2 instance to its public IP when sending requests to the internet. It tracks connections in a translation table, allowing it to route incoming responses back to the correct private instance. This ensures that replies from websites reach the right private EC2 instance.
