At present we’re saying Amazon Digital Non-public Cloud (Amazon VPC) useful resource map, a brand new function that simplifies the VPC creation expertise within the AWS Administration Console. This function shows your current VPC sources and their routing visually on a single web page, permitting you to shortly perceive the architectural structure of the VPC.
A 12 months in the past, in March 2022, we launched a brand new VPC creation expertise that streamlines the method of making and connecting VPC sources. With only one click on, even throughout a number of Availability Zones (AZs), you’ll be able to create and join VPC sources, eliminating greater than 90 % of the guide steps required previously. The brand new creation expertise is centered round an interactive diagram that shows a preview of the VPC structure and updates as choices are chosen, offering a visible illustration of the sources and their relationships throughout the VPC that you’re about to create.
Nevertheless, after the creation of the VPC, the diagram that was accessible throughout the creation expertise that lots of our clients cherished was not accessible. At present we’re altering that! With VPC useful resource map, you’ll be able to shortly perceive the architectural structure of the VPC, together with the variety of subnets, which subnets are related to the general public route desk, and which route tables have routes to the NAT Gateway.
You can too get to the precise useful resource particulars by clicking on the useful resource.

Getting Began with VPC Useful resource Map
To get began, select an current VPC within the VPC console. Within the particulars part, choose the Useful resource map tab. Right here, you’ll be able to see the sources in your VPC and the relationships between these sources.
As you hover over a useful resource, you’ll be able to see the associated sources and the linked traces highlighted. When you click on to pick out the useful resource, you’ll be able to see a couple of traces of particulars and a hyperlink to see the main points of the chosen useful resource.
Getting Began with VPC Creation Expertise
I need to clarify easy methods to use the VPC creation expertise to enhance your workflow to create a brand new VPC to make a high-availability three-tier VPC simply.
Select Create VPC and choose VPC and extra within the VPC console. You’ll be able to preview the VPC sources that you’re about to create all on the identical web page.
In Title tag auto-generation, you’ll be able to specify a prefix worth for Title tags. This worth is used to generate Title tags for all VPC sources within the preview. If I alter the default worth, which is venture
to channy
, the Title tag within the preview modifications to channy-
one thing, similar to channy-vpc
. You’ll be able to customise a Title tag per useful resource within the preview by clicking every useful resource and making modifications.
You’ll be able to simply change the default CIDR worth (10.0.0.0/16
) if you click on the IPv4 CIDR block area to disclose the CIDR joystick. Use the left or proper arrow to maneuver to the earlier (9.255.0.0/16
) or subsequent (10.0.1.0/16
) CIDR block throughout the /16
community masks. You can too change the subnet masks to /17
through the use of the down arrow, or return to /16
utilizing the up arrow.
Select the variety of Availability Zones (AZs) as much as 3. The variety of private and non-private subnet varieties modifications primarily based on the variety of AZs and reveals the whole variety of every subnet sort it should create.
I desire a high-availability VPC in three AZs and choose 6 for the variety of non-public subnets. Within the preview panel, you’ll be able to see that there are 9 subnets. After I hover over channy-rtb-public
, I can visually verify that this route desk is linked to a few public subnets and in addition routed to the web gateway (channy-igw
). The dotted traces point out routes to community node, and the stable traces point out relationships similar to implicit or specific associations.
Including NAT gateways and VPC endpoints is straightforward. You’ll be able to merely change the variety of NAT gateways in or per Availability Zone (AZ). Notice that there’s a cost for every NAT gateway. We all the time advocate having one NAT gateway per AZ and route site visitors from subnets in an AZ to the NAT gateway in the identical AZ for top availability and to keep away from inter-AZ information fees.
To route site visitors to Amazon Easy Storage Service (Amazon S3) buckets extra securely, you’ll be able to select the S3 Gateway endpoint by default. The S3 Gateway endpoint is freed from cost and doesn’t use NAT gateways when shifting information from non-public subnets.
You’ll be able to create extra tags and assign them to all sources within the VPC very quickly. I choose Add new tag and enter setting for the Key and check for the Worth. This key-value pair might be added to each useful resource right here.
Select Create VPC on the backside of the web page and see the sources and the IDs of these sources which can be being created. Earlier than creating, please validate sources from the preview.
As soon as all of the sources are created, select View VPC on the backside. The button takes you on to the VPC useful resource map, the place you’ll be able to see a visible illustration of what you created.

Amazon VPC useful resource map is now accessible in all AWS Areas the place Amazon VPC is offered, and you can begin utilizing it as we speak.
The VPC useful resource map and creation expertise now solely shows VPC, subnets, route tables, web gateway, NAT gateways, and Amazon S3 gateway. The Amazon VPC console groups and consumer expertise groups will proceed to enhance the console expertise utilizing buyer suggestions.
