/#Action=CreateVpc

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

Creates a VPC with the specified CIDR blocks. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/configure-your-vpc.html#vpc-cidr-blocks">VPC CIDR blocks</a> in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide. You can optionally request an IPv6 CIDR block for the VPC. You can request an Amazon-provided IPv6 CIDR block from Amazon's pool of IPv6 addresses, or an IPv6 CIDR block from an IPv6 address pool that you provisioned through bring your own IP addresses (<a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-byoip.html">BYOIP</a>). By default, each instance that you launch in the VPC has the default DHCP options, which include only a default DNS server that we provide (AmazonProvidedDNS). For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/VPC_DHCP_Options.html">DHCP option sets</a> in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide. You can specify the instance tenancy value for the VPC when you create it. You can't change this value for the VPC after you create it. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/dedicated-instance.html">Dedicated Instances</a> in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

CidrBlockstring

The IPv4 network range for the VPC, in CIDR notation. For example, <code>10.0.0.0/16</code>. We modify the specified CIDR block to its canonical form; for example, if you specify <code>100.68.0.18/18</code>, we modify it to <code>100.68.0.0/18</code>.

AmazonProvidedIpv6CidrBlockboolean

Requests an Amazon-provided IPv6 CIDR block with a /56 prefix length for the VPC. You cannot specify the range of IP addresses, or the size of the CIDR block.

Ipv6Poolstring

The ID of an IPv6 address pool from which to allocate the IPv6 CIDR block.

Ipv6CidrBlockstring

The IPv6 CIDR block from the IPv6 address pool. You must also specify <code>Ipv6Pool</code> in the request. To let Amazon choose the IPv6 CIDR block for you, omit this parameter.

Ipv4IpamPoolIdstring

The ID of an IPv4 IPAM pool you want to use for allocating this VPC's CIDR. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/ipam/what-is-it-ipam.html">What is IPAM?</a> in the Amazon VPC IPAM User Guide.

Ipv4NetmaskLengthinteger

The netmask length of the IPv4 CIDR you want to allocate to this VPC from an Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM) pool. For more information about IPAM, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/ipam/what-is-it-ipam.html">What is IPAM?</a> in the Amazon VPC IPAM User Guide.

Ipv6IpamPoolIdstring

The ID of an IPv6 IPAM pool which will be used to allocate this VPC an IPv6 CIDR. IPAM is a VPC feature that you can use to automate your IP address management workflows including assigning, tracking, troubleshooting, and auditing IP addresses across Amazon Web Services Regions and accounts throughout your Amazon Web Services Organization. For more information, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/ipam/what-is-it-ipam.html">What is IPAM?</a> in the Amazon VPC IPAM User Guide.

Ipv6NetmaskLengthinteger

The netmask length of the IPv6 CIDR you want to allocate to this VPC from an Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM) pool. For more information about IPAM, see <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/ipam/what-is-it-ipam.html">What is IPAM?</a> in the Amazon VPC IPAM User Guide.

DryRunboolean

InstanceTenancystring

The tenancy options for instances launched into the VPC. For <code>default</code>, instances are launched with shared tenancy by default. You can launch instances with any tenancy into a shared tenancy VPC. For <code>dedicated</code>, instances are launched as dedicated tenancy instances by default. You can only launch instances with a tenancy of <code>dedicated</code> or <code>host</code> into a dedicated tenancy VPC. Important: The <code>host</code> value cannot be used with this parameter. Use the <code>default</code> or <code>dedicated</code> values only. Default: <code>default</code>

Allowed:

Ipv6CidrBlockNetworkBorderGroupstring
