Create AWS VPC Using Boto3 Python – How To?

A logically isolated area of the Amazon Web Services Cloud is made available to users by AWS, serving as a virtual private cloud (VPC) for them. Boto3, on the other hand, is a Python SDK, which makes interaction with AWS services easier by using Python language. Here, we’ll see the steps to create an Amazon VPC using the Boto3 SDK.

Pre-requisites: AWS CLI, IAM User, Boto3, Python3.

Functions Used To Create AWS VPC Using Boto3 Python

1. create_vpc

2. create_route_table

3. create_internet_gateway

4. create_subnet

5. associate_with_subnet

Steps

1. Ubuntu systems have Python by default. We must know the Python version of our system. If python is not set up, we can update the repository and install it.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install python-pip
pip --version

2. Now we’ve to install Boto3. Then confirm its version.

pip3 install boto3
pip show boto3

3. Now, make a VPC and give it the name “boto.py”. Optionally, we can give various names to the files.

4. Also, change the value of aws_access_key_id_value and aws_secret_access_key_value with our own access_key_id and access_key_value respectively. Also, change the value of region_name.

5. We can use an editor of our choosing to change the values of CidrBlock for create_vpc and create_subnet if we’d like, or we can leave them as-is. And, we can continue with the process.

6. Now, run the Python script using this command to build a VPC with the above-mentioned setup.

python3 boto.py

7. Lastly, make sure the creation of AWS VPC is successful using the AWS console.
