How to create a VPC using Java SDK

Question

Can anyone help me with the code to create a VPC using Java SDK?

Answer 1

You can create a VPC using the following code:-

package com.ec2application.ec2application;

import com.amazonaws.auth.AWSCredentials;
import com.amazonaws.auth.AWSStaticCredentialsProvider;
import com.amazonaws.auth.BasicAWSCredentials;
import com.amazonaws.regions.Regions;
import com.amazonaws.services.ec2.AmazonEC2;
import com.amazonaws.services.ec2.AmazonEC2ClientBuilder;
import com.amazonaws.services.ec2.model.CreateVpcRequest;
import com.amazonaws.services.ec2.model.CreateVpcResult;
import com.amazonaws.services.ec2.model.Vpc;

public class CreateVPC 
{
private static final AWSCredentials AWS_CREDENTIALS;
    static {
        // Your accesskey and secretkey
        AWS_CREDENTIALS = new BasicAWSCredentials(
                "Access Key",
                "Security Key"
        );
    }
public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Set up the amazon ec2 client
        AmazonEC2 ec2Client = AmazonEC2ClientBuilder.standard()
                .withCredentials(new AWSStaticCredentialsProvider(AWS_CREDENTIALS))
                .withRegion(Regions.US_EAST_1)
                .build();
        System.out.println("Creating a VPC");
        CreateVpcRequest newVPC = new CreateVpcRequest("In");
        newVPC.setCidrBlock("10.0.0.0/16");
        CreateVpcResult res = ec2Client.createVpc(newVPC);
        Vpc vp = res.getVpc();
        String vpcId = vp.getVpcId();
        System.out.println("Created VPC " + vpcId);
    }
}

This will generate an output like this:-

Creating a VPC
Created VPC vpc-0ba1336c724dc62cc

Now you can verify whether your VPC is created or not on AWS Console.

You can see that your VPC is created successfully.
