POST /#Action=CreateVpc

Creates a VPC with the specified CIDR blocks. For more information, see VPC CIDR blocks in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.

You can optionally request an IPv6 CIDR block for the VPC. You can request an Amazon-provided IPv6 CIDR block from Amazon's pool of IPv6 addresses, or an IPv6 CIDR block from an IPv6 address pool that you provisioned through bring your own IP addresses (BYOIP).

By default, each instance that you launch in the VPC has the default DHCP options, which include only a default DNS server that we provide (AmazonProvidedDNS). For more information, see DHCP option sets in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide.

You can specify the instance tenancy value for the VPC when you create it. You can't change this value for the VPC after you create it. For more information, see Dedicated Instances in the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud User Guide.

Request body fields

Name	Type	Required	Description
`TagSpecifications[]`	Array	No	The tags to assign to the VPC.
`Ipv6Pool`	String	No	The ID of an IPv6 address pool from which to allocate the IPv6 CIDR block.
`Ipv4IpamPoolId`	String	No	The ID of an IPv4 IPAM pool you want to use for allocating this VPC's CIDR. For more information, see What is IPAM? in the Amazon VPC IPAM User Guide.
`Ipv4NetmaskLength`	Integer	No	The netmask length of the IPv4 CIDR you want to allocate to this VPC from an Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM) pool. For more information about IPAM, see What is IPAM? in the Amazon VPC IPAM User Guide.
`Ipv6CidrBlockNetworkBorderGroup`	String	No	The name of the location from which we advertise the IPV6 CIDR block. Use this parameter to limit the address to this location. You must set `AmazonProvidedIpv6CidrBlock` to `true` to use this parameter.
`Ipv6NetmaskLength`	Integer	No	The netmask length of the IPv6 CIDR you want to allocate to this VPC from an Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM) pool. For more information about IPAM, see What is IPAM? in the Amazon VPC IPAM User Guide.
`AmazonProvidedIpv6CidrBlock`	Boolean	No	Requests an Amazon-provided IPv6 CIDR block with a /56 prefix length for the VPC. You cannot specify the range of IP addresses, or the size of the CIDR block.
`Ipv6IpamPoolId`	String	No	The ID of an IPv6 IPAM pool which will be used to allocate this VPC an IPv6 CIDR. IPAM is a VPC feature that you can use to automate your IP address management workflows including assigning, tracking, troubleshooting, and auditing IP addresses across Amazon Web Services Regions and accounts throughout your Amazon Web Services Organization. For more information, see What is IPAM? in the Amazon VPC IPAM User Guide.
`Ipv6CidrBlock`	String	No	The IPv6 CIDR block from the IPv6 address pool. You must also specify `Ipv6Pool` in the request. To let Amazon choose the IPv6 CIDR block for you, omit this parameter.
`DryRun`	Boolean	No	Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is `DryRunOperation`. Otherwise, it is `UnauthorizedOperation`.
`InstanceTenancy`	String	No	The tenancy options for instances launched into the VPC. For `default`, instances are launched with shared tenancy by default. You can launch instances with any tenancy into a shared tenancy VPC. For `dedicated`, instances are launched as dedicated tenancy instances by default. You can only launch instances with a tenancy of `dedicated` or `host` into a dedicated tenancy VPC. Important: The `host` value cannot be used with this parameter. Use the `default` or `dedicated` values only. Default: `default` Possible values: `"dedicated"` `"host"` `"default"`
`CidrBlock`	String	No	The IPv4 network range for the VPC, in CIDR notation. For example, `10.0.0.0/16`. We modify the specified CIDR block to its canonical form; for example, if you specify `100.68.0.18/18`, we modify it to `100.68.0.0/18`.
