To elaborate more, in AWS the Internet Gateway modifies the private IP to public IP and vice versa. There’s no public IPs being routed with a VPC, it’s all RFC 1918. When they mention private or public subnets, it just means if the subnet has a route to the IGW or not and if it has a public IP assigned. This was pretty confusing to learn at first.
