VPC Setup

Before we setup our cluster, we need to create a Network Environment for it to resides in. Here, we will create Server (ECS) VPC and Database (RDS) VPC. We are using hub and spoke architecture to isolate both networks, create a transit gateway to link both VPC's together, then create all other network components like subnets, route table, nacl, etc... Below is how our network will look like

• Search and click VPC.

• Click on Your VPCs

• Click on Create VPC

• Select VPC Only, Provide the VPC Name items-server-vpc and the vpc cidr range 10.0.0.0/16

• Click on Create VPC

• Select VPC Only, Provide the VPC Name items-database-vpc and the vpc cidr range 10.1.0.0/16

• Click on Create VPC

• List of all VPC's

Now that we have successfully setup both RDS VPC and Server (ECS) VPC, let's continue by setting up all required subnets.
