    AWS Tutorial: Create VPC and


    Launch Instance Using CLI
    by skillslane · January 10, 2019

    In this tutorial, i will describe the steps required to create a VPC using AWS CLI.

    Prerequisites

    1. You need to have a configured AWS CLI on your system. (Refer this tutorial:
    Configure AWS CLI)

     
    Create VPC using CLI

    The first step in creating VPC is deciding on the CIDR range. The maximum CIDR
    range you can have on AWS is /16 network. In this tutorial, i am going to create a
    VPC with CIDR range 10.0.0.0/16. Please note down all the id’s created in a
    notepad when you are executing the command.

    step 1: Create VPC

    To create VPC, we have an AWS CLI command.create-vpc Execute the


    following command to create a VPC with 10.0.0.0/16 range.

    aws ec2 create-vpc --cidr-block 10.0.0.0/16

    The above command will give an out with a parameter named.VpcId Note down
    the Id because we would need it for further commands.

    Note: If you want to learn AWS from scratch for want to prepare for AWS
    certificate programs, you can go for Ryan’s Courses on Udemy. You can get these
    $197 worth of courses for just $9.99 using coupons from here –> A Cloud Guru
    AWS certification Udemy Course Coupons

    Step 2: Create Subnets

    Next, we need to create subnets for the VPC we created. Subnets basically give
    you a segregation for your application. Let’s say you have a front end, app tier,
    and Db tier. You might need 6 subnets to host that application in high availability
    mode.

    For this demo, I will create two subnets, one private and one public.

    Execute the following command to create a subnet using create-subnet


    command

    Note: Replace the VPC Id with yours.

    1/20/22, 11:43 PM AWS Tutorial: Create VPC and Launch Instance Using CLI | Skillslane

    aws ec2 create-subnet --vpc-id vpc-99e344fd --cidr-block 10.0.1.0/24

    Create the second subnet using the following command.

    aws ec2 create-subnet --vpc-id vpc-99e344fd --cidr-block 10.0.2.0/24

    Note down the subnet id from the output. We will need it later.

    Step 3: Create Internet gateway

    If you want to access ec2 instances over the internet, you should attach an
    internet gateway to your VPC.

    You can create an internet gateway using create-internet-gateway


    command. Execute the following command to create one.

    aws ec2 create-internet-gateway

    Note down the InternetGatewayId from the output.

    Step 4: Attach Internet gateway to VPC

    Attach the internet gateway to the VPC using ec2 attach-internet-gateway


    command as shown below. Replace the id’s with your id’s accordingly.

    aws ec2 attach-internet-gateway --internet-gateway-id igw-5d685a38 --vpc-id vpc-


    99e344fd

    Step 5: Create Route Table

    First,
     create a route table. Replace the VPC id with yours. 

    1/20/22, 11:43 PM AWS Tutorial: Create VPC and Launch Instance Using CLI | Skillslane

    aws ec2 create-route-table --vpc-id vpc-99e344fd

    Note down the RouteTableId

    Step 6: Add Internet Gateway Rule

    Attaching internet gateway does not make all the subnets public. If you want to
    make a subnet public, you need to add a route table with internet gateway to the
    subnet.

    aws ec2 create-route --route-table-id rtb-b86fe2dc --destination-cidr-block


    0.0.0.0/0 --gateway-id igw-5d685a38

    Step 7: Associate Route Table to a Subnet

    Associate the route table with the second subnet using associate-route-
    table command and the ids.

    aws ec2 associate-route-table --route-table-id rtb-b86fe2dc --subnet-id subnet-


    3b839262

    Now our second subnet is a public subnet as we associated a route table with
    internet gateway rule. We can now launch an instance to the public subnet which
    can be accessed over the internet. If you launch an ec2 instance in the private
    subnet (first subnet – 10.0.1.0/24), you will not be able to access it as it does not
    have an internet gateway rule. But all the instances in a VPC can talk to each
    other using its private IP’s.

    Launching an EC2 instance


    Now we will launch an EC2 instance in the public subnet using CLI. I hope you
    have
     all the id’s noted down in a text file. We will be using those id’s for instance
    launch.

    There are few parameters you should know before launching the instance.

    1. AMI ID: id of the image (OS) that you want to launch.You can get this id from the
    AWS launch wizard as shown below.

    2. Security Group ID: Create a security group and get the id.

    3. Subnet ID

    4. Key pair Name – Create a key pair and note down the name.

    Execute the following command with relevant ID’s to launch the instance in public
    subnet.

    aws ec2 run-instances --image-id ami-9abea4fb --count 1 --instance-type t2.micro


    --key-name test-key --security-group-ids sg-af7a50c8 --subnet-id subnet-3b839262
    --associate-public-ip-address
