Setup VPC
Set up VPC for the production environment
In this section, we will configure a VPC quickly for the infrastructure of this workshop using the automatic VPC setup.
- Search for
VPC - Select VPC
- On the VPC homepage, click Create VPC.
In the VPC Settings section:
- Resources to create: VPC and more
- Name (auto-generation): production
- IPv4 CIDR Block:
10.0.0.0/16, no CIDR Block for IPv6 - Tenancy: Default
Next:
- Number of AZs: 2
- First AZ: ap-southeast-1a
- Second AZ: ap-southeast-1b
- Number of public subnets: 2
- Number of private subnets: 2
- NAT Gateway: None, we will configure it later
- VPC Endpoints: S3 Gateway
In reality, it is better to configure manually to get the resources exactly how you want them. For this infrastructure, the production environment only has 2 subnets: private and public; while the development environment has only 1 public subnet.
We will also select Enable DNS hostname and Enable DNS resolution so EC2 in the private subnet can load content from the internet.
Wait for the VPC to be created.
Set up VPC for the development environment
Similar to the VPC for the production environment, we will now automatically create a VPC for the development environment. Follow the configurations shown in the images step by step.
