Creating Virtual Private Cloud (VPC)

Amazon VPC lets you provision a logically isolated section of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud where you can launch AWS resources in a virtual network that you define. You have complete control over your virtual networking environment, including selection of your own IP address range, creation of subnets, and configuration of route tables and network gateways.

This topic introduces the steps to create a VPC. You can refer to AWS documentation for more information: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/VPC_Scenario1.html

To create a VPC:

1. Log in to AWS. Select VPC from the services list.
2. On the VPC dashboard, click Create VPC.
   
3. Select the VPC only option. Configure the VPC related information as shown below.
   • In the Name tag field, set the VPC name.

   • In the IPv4 CIDR block field, specify an IPv4 address range for your VPC.

   • In the Tenancy field, select Default.

   • Select Create VPC.

   
   
   

When the VPC setup has been completed, go to Amazon VPC console, from the navigation bar, select Instances and click View Instances. You can review subnet and routing information for the VPC.
