For this question, please note the boxed (red) text that indicates that instances from within the private subnet can send requests to the internet.

Q: Where is the route path for instances in the "private" subnet to get Internet access? Wouldn't it need its own gateway for that?

CodePudding user response：

The instances in private subnet access the internet through NAT and then through Internet Gateway (IGW):

private instance ---> NAT ---> IGW ---> Internet
