Now since this is going to be our public subnet, let’s have it automatically assign public IPs to instances created here. Enter CIDR block range ‘10.0.1.0/24’ and availability zone ‘us-east1’. This was how I learned it from and it has stuck with me. I use the CIDR block range, and availability zone in my name ‘10.0.1.0 – us-east1a’.

Servers in our public subnet will have public IP addresses, and access to the outside internet. Click ‘Yes, Create’ when done.įirst we will create our Public Subnet. I also select ‘Amazon provided IPv6 CIDR block’ to give more options later on. I use ‘10.0.0.0/16’, which will give me the most IPs available. This would create a lot of components for us and not be as fun.Įnter a name tag, I’ll call mine ‘MyRDSvpc. Note: If you select ‘Create VPC’ here, it will launch the VPC wizard.
