Hi@akhtar,

Amazon Web Services enables you to create a custom defined virtual network also know as Amazon VPC or Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, which, just like any traditional network in a data center, is highly scalable and easily configurable using programming languages like Python. To create a VPC with the help of the Boto3 module, you can use the below script.

import boto3
ec2 = boto3.resource('ec2')
vpc = ec2.create_vpc(CidrBlock='172.16.0.0/16')
