=======================================
An Introduction to boto's VPC interface
=======================================
This tutorial is based on the examples in the Amazon Virtual Private
Cloud Getting Started Guide (http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AmazonVPC/latest/GettingStartedGuide/).
In each example, it tries to show the boto request that correspond to
the AWS command line tools.
Creating a VPC connection
-------------------------
First, we need to create a new VPC connection:
>>> from boto.vpc import VPCConnection
>>> c = VPCConnection()
To create a VPC
---------------
Now that we have a VPC connection, we can create our first VPC.
>>> vpc = c.create_vpc('10.0.0.0/24')
>>> vpc
VPC:vpc-6b1fe402
>>> vpc.id
u'vpc-6b1fe402'
>>> vpc.state
u'pending'
>>> vpc.cidr_block
u'10.0.0.0/24'
>>> vpc.dhcp_options_id
u'default'
>>>
To create a subnet
------------------
The next step is to create a subnet to associate with your VPC.
>>> subnet = c.create_subnet(vpc.id, '10.0.0.0/25')
>>> subnet.id
u'subnet-6a1fe403'
>>> subnet.state
u'pending'
>>> subnet.cidr_block
u'10.0.0.0/25'
>>> subnet.available_ip_address_count
123
>>> subnet.availability_zone
u'us-east-1b'
>>>
To create a customer gateway
----------------------------
Next, we create a customer gateway.
>>> cg = c.create_customer_gateway('ipsec.1', '12.1.2.3', 65534)
>>> cg.id
u'cgw-b6a247df'
>>> cg.type
u'ipsec.1'
>>> cg.state
u'available'
>>> cg.ip_address
u'12.1.2.3'
>>> cg.bgp_asn
u'65534'
>>>
To create a VPN gateway
-----------------------
>>> vg = c.create_vpn_gateway('ipsec.1')
>>> vg.id
u'vgw-44ad482d'
>>> vg.type
u'ipsec.1'
>>> vg.state
u'pending'
>>> vg.availability_zone
u'us-east-1b'
>>>
Attaching a VPN Gateway to a VPC
--------------------------------
>>> vg.attach(vpc.id)
>>>
