How to Create a VPC With CIDR Block 19100/16?

Introduction

In this guide, we will create an AWS Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) using Pulumi. The VPC will have a CIDR block of 191.0.0.0/16. Pulumi allows you to define, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure using code, making it easy to create and manage resources like VPCs.

Step-by-Step Explanation

Step 1: Set up Pulumi

First, ensure you have Pulumi installed and configured. You can follow the Pulumi installation guide if you haven’t set it up yet.

Step 2: Create a New Pulumi Project

Create a new Pulumi project by running the following commands:

mkdir my-vpc-project
cd my-vpc-project
pulumi new typescript

Follow the prompts to set up your new project.

Step 3: Define the VPC

In your index.ts file, add the following code to define the VPC with the specified CIDR block:

import * as pulumi from "@pulumi/pulumi";
import * as aws from "@pulumi/aws";

// Create a new VPC
const vpc = new aws.ec2.Vpc("my-vpc", {
    cidrBlock: "191.0.0.0/16",
});

// Export the VPC ID
export const vpcId = vpc.id;

Step 4: Deploy the VPC

Deploy the VPC by running the following command:

pulumi up

Review the changes and confirm the deployment.

Conclusion

By following these steps, you have successfully created an AWS VPC with a CIDR block of 191.0.0.0/16 using Pulumi. You can now use this VPC for your cloud infrastructure needs. Pulumi makes it easy to manage and update your infrastructure as code.
