1.

Login to AWS Console: Log in to your AWS account using your credentials at
https://aws.amazon.com/console/.
2. Navigate to VPC Dashboard: Once you are logged in, navigate to the VPC
Dashboard by clicking on "Services" at the top left corner, then select "VPC"
under the "Networking & Content Delivery" section.
3. Create VPC: In the VPC Dashboard, click on "Your VPCs" in the left-hand
navigation pane and then click the "Create VPC" button.
4. Configure VPC Settings: In the "Create VPC" wizard, you need to configure
the VPC settings. Provide the following information:
 Name tag: Enter a descriptive name for your VPC (e.g., "MyEC2VPC").
 IPv4 CIDR block: Specify the IP address range for your VPC. For
example, you can use "10.0.0.0/16" for a large VPC or "172.31.0.0/16"
for a smaller VPC.
 IPv6 CIDR block: This is optional. You can leave it empty if you don't
need IPv6 support.
5. Enable DNS Hostnames: By default, DNS hostnames are disabled for VPC. To
enable them, set the "DNS hostnames" attribute to "Yes." This allows instances
in your VPC to have public DNS hostnames.
6. Create a DHCP Options Set (Optional): If you want to customize DNS
settings or domain name for your VPC, you can create a new DHCP options
set. Otherwise, you can use the default DHCP options set.
7. Create a New Subnet: After creating the VPC, you'll need to create at least
one subnet to launch your EC2 instances into. Click on "Subnets" in the left-
hand navigation pane and then click the "Create Subnet" button.
8. Configure Subnet Settings: In the "Create Subnet" wizard, provide the
following information:
 Name tag: Enter a descriptive name for your subnet (e.g., "Public
Subnet").
 VPC: Choose the VPC you created in the previous steps.
 Availability Zone: Select an availability zone in which you want the
subnet to reside.
 IPv4 CIDR block: Specify the IP address range for the subnet. It should
be a subset of the VPC's CIDR block.
9. Create Route Table: After creating the subnet, you'll need to create a route
table to control the traffic flow for the subnet. Click on "Route Tables" in the
left-hand navigation pane and then click the "Create Route Table" button.
10. Configure Route Table Settings: In the "Create Route Table" wizard, provide
a name for your route table (e.g., "Public Route Table") and select the VPC you
created earlier.
11. Add Route to Internet Gateway: To allow instances in the subnet to access
the internet, you need to add a route to the internet gateway. In the "Routes"
tab of the route table, click "Edit routes," then click "Add route." Set the
destination to "0.0.0.0/0" and choose the internet gateway as the target.
12. Associate Subnet with the Route Table: In the "Subnet Associations" tab of
the route table, click "Edit subnet associations." Select the subnet you created
earlier and click "Save."

Your VPC is now set up with a subnet that has internet access through an internet
gateway.
