Using aws vpc with vpcnetwork
TypeScriptTo create an AWS VPC with a VPC network using Pulumi, you will need to define and deploy resources that represent your cloud infrastructure. In this case, we will use the
aws
andawsx
packages from Pulumi, which provide convenient abstractions for working with AWS services.Here's a step-by-step guide to creating an AWS VPC with a default network layout using Pulumi:
Step 1: Set up your Pulumi project
Make sure you have Pulumi installed and configured with the appropriate AWS credentials.
Step 2: Define the AWS VPC and Subnets
Create a VPC with both public and private subnets across multiple availability zones. AWSX's
Vpc
class provides a higher-level abstraction that simplifies this process.Step 3: Export the Outputs
After the VPC is created, you might want to export some of its properties, like IDs and specific subnet IDs, so they can be easily accessed or used by other stacks.
Below is a complete Pulumi program in TypeScript:
import * as awsx from "@pulumi/awsx"; // Create a new VPC with default settings const vpc = new awsx.ec2.Vpc("customVpc", { numberOfAvailabilityZones: 2, // Determines how many AZs to span }); // The `vpc` object now contains a lot of information about the created VPC. // For example, you can reference the VPC ID and subnet IDs as follows: const vpcId = vpc.id; const publicSubnetIds = vpc.publicSubnetIds; const privateSubnetIds = vpc.privateSubnetIds; // Export the VPC ID and subnet IDs so that they can be easily used from other stacks. export const vpcIdOutput = vpcId; export const publicSubnetIdsOutput = publicSubnetIds; export const privateSubnetIdsOutput = privateSubnetIds;
In this program:
- We import the
awsx
package, which is an extension of theaws
package that provides higher-level components for AWS. - We create a new VPC named
customVpc
with theawsx.ec2.Vpc
class which automatically sets up a VPC with all the necessary components like subnets and route tables. - The
numberOfAvailabilityZones
property is used to specify the number of availability zones that the VPC should span. You can adjust this number based on your requirements. - We then export the VPC ID and subnet IDs as stack outputs so that they can be queried or used by other Pulumi stacks.
Once this program is set up, you would deploy it using the Pulumi CLI:
- Run
pulumi up
to preview and deploy the changes. Pulumi will show you a preview of what resources will be created. - If the preview looks good, you can proceed to confirm the changes. Pulumi will then provision the resources in AWS as defined in your program.
- After the update is complete, Pulumi will output any exported variables, like the VPC ID and subnet IDs.
For more information about AWS VPC resources, you may refer to the Pulumi AWSX documentation for VPC: awsx.ec2.Vpc.
