In this article, we will are going to learn how to Create a VPC in AWS using Go SDK with example in details.
Creating a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) on Amazon Web Services (AWS) is essential for securing and managing your cloud infrastructure.
Prerequisites to Create a VPC in AWS using Go SDK :
- You should have an AWS account
- Go installed on your local machine (v1.16 or later).
- A basic understanding of Go programming
To begin, you’ll need to install the AWS SDK for Go. Open your terminal and run:
go get -u github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go
This command downloads and installs the SDK for Go.
Example to create VPC:
package main
import (
"fmt"
"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws"
"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/aws/session"
"github.com/aws/aws-sdk-go/service/ec2"
)
// Creating a VPC
func createVPC(svc *ec2.EC2, cidrBlock string) (*ec2.Vpc, error) {
input := &ec2.CreateVpcInput{
CidrBlock: aws.String(cidrBlock),
}
result, err := svc.CreateVpc(input)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error creating VPC:", err)
return nil, err
}
return result.Vpc, nil
}
func main() {
// Initialize a new AWS session
sess, err := session.NewSession(&aws.Config{
Region: aws.String("us-west-2")},
)
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error creating session:", err)
return
}
svc := ec2.New(sess)
// Create VPC
vpc, err := createVPC(svc, "10.0.0.0/16")
if err != nil {
fmt.Println("Error creating VPC:", err)
return
}
fmt.Println("VPC created:", *vpc.VpcId)
}
Save your Go file and run it using the go run command. You should see output similar to the following:
Output:
VPC created: vpc-xxxxxxxx
This indicates that your VPC was successfully created.
