How To Create Aws Vpc-Vpc Tutorial Step By Step

How To Create Aws Vpc- AWS Vpc Tutorial

In the following steps i will show you how to create aws vpc with 2 public subnets and 2 private subnets step by step. go to aws console and go to vpc, click on create vpc now you can see like below image.

 

how to create aws vpc

Enter name tag, name tag is nothing but vpc name. here my vpc name is decodingdevops-vpc and enter ipv4 cidr block value and click on yes create.

ipv4 cidr block

ipv4 cidr block here we will mention our cidr range. cidr range nothing but ip ranges of your resources. cidr range will tell you how many ips are available in your vpc. here my cidr range is 10.0.0.0/26.

so number of ips available is 2^32-26=2^6=64 ips available

First ip is 10.0.0.0

Last ip  is 10.0.0.63

if your cidr range is  xx.xx.xx.xx/y

then number of ips available is 2^32-y

Public SubNets

public-a

Go to subnet and click on create subnet give name tag as public-a

Select your vpc here my vpc name is decodingdevops-vpc

click on vpc scroll button you can see your vpc’s select you vpc, after selecting it will show vpc id not vpc name.

Here my vpc id is vpc-007fbec1e512bfd61

Select Availability Zone us-east-1a

IPv4 CIDR block 10.0.0.0/28   2^32-28  =2^4   =16    ips are available in this subnet

The ip range in this subent is 10.0.0.0/28 to 10.0.0.15/28

in every subnet 5 ips are reserevd for aws internel  use   those are first 4 and  last 1

So you can use remaining ips, when you are launching ec2 instances or rds in this subnet that instances will get ip address in between 10.0.0.4/28 to 10.0.0.14/28

Public-b-How To Create Aws Vpc

Same like public-a create new subnet give name tag as public-b, select same vpc.

Select Availability Zone us-east-1b

aws vpc tutorial

IPv4 CIDR block 10.0.0.16/28   2^32-28  =2^4   =16    ips are available in this subnet

The ip range in this subent is  10.0.0.16/28 to 10.0.0.31/28

In this subnet also 5 ips are resevd for aws internel use   those are first 4 last 1

So remaining ips you can use, when you are launching ec2 instances or rds in this subnet that instances will get ip address in between 10.0.0.20/28 to 10.0.0.30/28

Private SubNets

 Private-c

Same like public-b, create new subnet give name tag as public-c, select same vpc

Select Availability Zone us-east-1c

aws vpc step

IPv4 CIDR block 10.0.0.32/28   2^32-28  =2^4   =16    ips are available in this subnet

The ip range in this subent is  10.0.0.32/28 to 10.0.0.47/28

In this subnet also 5 ips are resevd for aws internel use   those are first 4 last 1

So remaining ips you can use, when you are launching ec2 instances or rds in this subnet that instances will get ip address in between 10.0.0.36/28 to 10.0.0.46/28

Private-d-How To Create Aws Vpc

Same like public-c, create new subnet give name tag as public-d, select same vpc

Select Availability Zone us-east-1d

aws create default vpc

IPv4 CIDR block 10.0.0.48/28   2^32-28  =2^4   =16    ips are available in this subnet

The ip range in this subent is  10.0.0.48/28 to 10.0.0.64/28

In this subnet also 5 ips are resevd for aws internel use   those are first 4 last 1

So remaining ips you can use, when you are launching ec2 instances or rds in this subnet that instances will get ip address in between 10.0.0.52/28 to 10.0.0.63/28

Creating internet gateway

Click on internet gateways  and click on Create internet gateway it will ask you name tag enter nay name here iam giving devops-itg and click on create

how to setup aws vpc

attach internetgateway to vpc

Click on actions and click on attach to vpc

aws vpc tutorialSelect your vpc here my vpc is decodingdevops-vpc and click on attach

Now your internet gate way is attached to your vpc

Creating NAT Gateway

Go to nat gateways to click on create nat gate way it will ask you to choose subnet

We will launch our nat gateway in public subnet only not in private subnet

aws vpc tutorial

So select public subnet id here iam choosing subnet-03ea623a398ff1ad4 this is my public-a subnet

aws vpc documentation

Now it will ask you to attach elastic ip here you can click on create new EIP and  create

And click on create nat gate way. Now we have created natgate way

Creating Route Tables

Public Route Table

When you are creating new vpc automatically you will get a default route table.

It has no name make it as public-rt

aws vpc tutorial

And click on Subnet Associations

setup aws vpc

Click on edit and select your two public subnets and save

Here iam choosing public-a and public-b

Now click on routes and edit click on add another rule

In destination write 0.0.0.0/0 in target select internetgatewayid

aws vpc step by step

Destination                Target

0.0.0.0/0                     internetgateway-id

Now we have a public route table

Private Route Table

Now we have to create another route table so click on create route table

It will ask you name tag enter private-rt and click on yes create

Now we have created private route table

And click on Subnet Associations

Click on edit and select your two private subnets and save

Here iam choosing private-c and private-d

how to create vpc in aws step by step

Now click on routes and edit click on add another rule

In destination write 0.0.0.0/0 in target select natgatewayid

Destination                Target

0.0.0.0/0                     natgateway-id

hw to create default vpc in aws

now we have successfully creted vpc with two public subnets and two private subnets.

now select your vpc and click on actions

here you can see EDIT DNS RESOLUTION click on this make it yes

and in same the way there is a another option EDIT DNS HOSTNAMES click on this and make it yes

go to subnets and select public-a subnet click on actions and click on Modify auto-assign IP settings and Enable auto-assign public IPv4 address and save it.

aws vpc decoding devops

same like above select subnet public-b and Enable auto-assign public IPv4 address and save it.

IMP POINTS;

  • create vpc with cidr
  • create 4 subnets name two subnets as public and remaining as private.
  • create one internet gateway attach it to vpc.
  • create Nat gate way in any public subent and attach one elastic ip to it.
  • create two route tables name one as public-rt and remaining one as private-rt
  • in public-rt in subnet associations add those public subents  and
  •          in routes

                      Destination                Target

0.0.0.0/0                     internet gateway-id

  • in private-rt in subnet associations add those private subnets and

                   in routes

                    Destination                Target

0.0.0.0/0                     natgateway-id

  • select your vpc and click on actions make EDIT DNS RESOLUTION   yes
  • select vpc and click on actions  make  EDIT DNS HOSTNAMES    yes
  • select your one public subnet click on actions Enable auto-assign public IPv4 address
  • select other  public subnet click on actions Enable auto-assign public IPv4 address

now we have successfully configured vpc in aws.

now you can launch your servers or ec2 instances in this vpc.
