/#Action=CreateDefaultVpc

http://ec2.{region}.amazonaws.com/#Action=CreateDefaultVpc

Creates a default VPC with a size <code>/16</code> IPv4 CIDR block and a default subnet in each Availability Zone. For more information about the components of a default VPC, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/default-vpc.html">Default VPC and default subnets</a> in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide. You cannot specify the components of the default VPC yourself. If you deleted your previous default VPC, you can create a default VPC. You cannot have more than one default VPC per Region. If your account supports EC2-Classic, you cannot use this action to create a default VPC in a Region that supports EC2-Classic. If you want a default VPC in a Region that supports EC2-Classic, see "I really want a default VPC for my existing EC2 account. Is that possible?" in the <a href="http://aws.amazon.com/vpc/faqs/#Default_VPCs">Default VPCs FAQ</a>. <note> We are retiring EC2-Classic. We recommend that you migrate from EC2-Classic to a VPC. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/vpc-migrate.html">Migrate from EC2-Classic to a VPC</a> in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide. </note>
