Creating a VPC and subnets

This section shows you how to create an AWS VPC and create two subnets in it. For many steps, you have a choice to make that can be specific to your own environment.

  1. Change your language to English and log into the AWS Management Console.
  2. Go to Services > Networking > VPC.
  3. Go to Virtual Private Cloud > Your VPCs, then select Create VPC.
  4. In the Name tag field, set the VPC name.
  5. In the CIDR block field, specify an IPv4 address range for your VPC.
  6. In the Tenancy field, select Default.
  7. Select Yes, Create.
  8. Go to Virtual Private Cloud > Subnets, then select Create Subnet. Create a public subnet (in this example, Subnet1) and a private subnet (Subnet2), as shown in this example. Both subnets belong to the VPC that you created.
