How To Create VPC on AWS
Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) lets you have a virtual network, so that you can select your own IP address range, create your own subnets and configure your route tables and network gateways. Here is a quick guide on how to setup VPC on Amazon Web Services (AWS).
Log in to AWS and open the VPC console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/vpc, or choose VPC under "Networking & Content Delivery" in the Services menu.
Click "Create VPC".
Under "Resources to create", choose "VPC and more". This creates the VPC together with its subnets, route tables and internet gateway in one step.
Configure the VPC: enter a name tag prefix and keep the 10.0.0.0/16 IPv4 CIDR block. Choose 1 Availability Zone, 1 public subnet and 0 private subnets, and leave NAT gateways at "None". For an S3-backed filesystem, also add the S3 Gateway VPC endpoint. It is free and keeps your S3 traffic inside the AWS network.
Review the resource map preview showing the VPC, its public subnet, route table and internet gateway, then click "Create VPC".
When all the resources are created, click "View VPC".
You will see the VPC that you've just created, with state "Available". You can also reach it any time under "Your VPCs".
