Creating a Production-Ready VPC Across Multiple Availability Zones
Overview
Domain expertise for creating production-ready VPC infrastructure distributed across multiple Availability Zones. Covers VPC creation with DNS support, public and private subnet layout with automatic CIDR calculation, internet gateway, NAT gateways for high-availability outbound access, route table configuration, and tiered security groups following AWS Well-Architected principles.
Create a production VPC
To create a fully configured multi-AZ VPC with public/private subnets, NAT gateways, route tables, and security groups, follow the procedure exactly. See Production VPC creation procedure.
Key parameters:
vpc_name(required): Name prefix for all resourcesregion(required): Target AWS regionallowed_web_cidrs(required): CIDR blocks allowed for web access — allow 0.0.0.0/0 only if explicitly requestedvpc_cidr(optional, default10.0.0.0/16): VPC CIDR blockavailability_zones(optional, default 3): Number of AZs (2–6)environment(required): Environment tagenable_ssh_access(optional, default false): Whether to create SSH security group
Troubleshooting
Insufficient Availability Zones
The target region must have at least 2 available AZs. Use aws ec2 describe-availability-zones to verify.
NAT Gateway creation delays
NAT Gateways can take several minutes to become available. The procedure waits for availability before configuring route tables.
Security group CIDR warnings
The procedure warns about 0.0.0.0/0 for web access CIDRs and recommends specific IP ranges for production workloads, but allows it if explicitly requested.
