.. py:method:: EC2.ServiceResource.create_vpc(**kwargs)

  

  Creates a VPC with the specified CIDR blocks.

   

  A VPC must have an associated IPv4 CIDR block. You can choose an IPv4 CIDR block or an IPAM-allocated IPv4 CIDR block. You can optionally associate an IPv6 CIDR block with a VPC. You can choose an IPv6 CIDR block, an Amazon-provided IPv6 CIDR block, an IPAM-allocated IPv6 CIDR block, or an IPv6 CIDR block that you brought to Amazon Web Services. For more information, see `IP addressing for your VPCs and subnets <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/vpc-ip-addressing.html>`__ in the *Amazon VPC User Guide*.

   

  By default, each instance that you launch in the VPC has the default DHCP options, which include only a default DNS server that we provide (AmazonProvidedDNS). For more information, see `DHCP option sets <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/VPC_DHCP_Options.html>`__ in the *Amazon VPC User Guide*.

   

  You can specify DNS options and tenancy for a VPC when you create it. You can't change the tenancy of a VPC after you create it. For more information, see `VPC configuration options <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/create-vpc-options.html>`__ in the *Amazon VPC User Guide*.

  :type CidrBlock: string
  :param CidrBlock: 

    The IPv4 network range for the VPC, in CIDR notation. For example, ``10.0.0.0/16``. We modify the specified CIDR block to its canonical form; for example, if you specify ``100.68.0.18/18``, we modify it to ``100.68.0.0/18``.

    

  
  :type Ipv6Pool: string

    The ID of an IPv6 address pool from which to allocate the IPv6 CIDR block.

    

  
  :type Ipv6CidrBlock: string
  :param Ipv6CidrBlock: 

    The IPv6 CIDR block from the IPv6 address pool. You must also specify ``Ipv6Pool`` in the request.

     

    To let Amazon choose the IPv6 CIDR block for you, omit this parameter.

    

  
  :type Ipv4IpamPoolId: string
  :param Ipv4IpamPoolId: 

    The ID of an IPv4 IPAM pool you want to use for allocating this VPC's CIDR. For more information, see `What is IPAM? <https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/ipam/what-is-it-ipam.html>`__ in the *Amazon VPC IPAM User Guide*.

  :type VpcEncryptionControl: dict
  :param VpcEncryptionControl: 

    Specifies the encryption control configuration to apply to the VPC during creation. VPC Encryption Control enables you to enforce encryption for all data in transit within and between VPCs to meet compliance requirements.

    - **ElasticFileSystemExclusion** *(string) --* 

      Specifies whether to exclude Elastic File System traffic from encryption enforcement.

      

    
  
  :type TagSpecifications: list
  :param TagSpecifications: 

    The tags to assign to the VPC.

    

  
    - *(dict) --* 

      The tags to apply to a resource when the resource is being created. When you specify a tag, you must specify the resource type to tag, otherwise the request will fail.

       

      .. note::

        

        The ``Valid Values`` lists all the resource types that can be tagged. However, the action you're using might not support tagging all of these resource types. If you try to tag a resource type that is unsupported for the action you're using, you'll get an error.

          Describes a tag.

          

        
          - **Key** *(string) --* 

            The key of the tag.

            Constraints: Tag values are case-sensitive and accept a maximum of 256 Unicode characters.

            

          
        
    
    

  :type DryRun: boolean
  :param DryRun: 

    Checks whether you have the required permissions for the action, without actually making the request, and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is ``DryRunOperation``. Otherwise, it is ``UnauthorizedOperation``.

    

  
  :type InstanceTenancy: string
  :param InstanceTenancy: 

    The tenancy options for instances launched into the VPC. For ``default``, instances are launched with shared tenancy by default. You can launch instances with any tenancy into a shared tenancy VPC. For ``dedicated``, instances are launched as dedicated tenancy instances by default. You can only launch instances with a tenancy of ``dedicated`` or ``host`` into a dedicated tenancy VPC.

     

    **Important:** The ``host`` value cannot be used with this parameter. Use the ``default`` or ``dedicated`` values only.

     

    Default: ``default``

    

  
  :type AmazonProvidedIpv6CidrBlock: boolean
  :param AmazonProvidedIpv6CidrBlock: 

    Requests an Amazon-provided IPv6 CIDR block with a /56 prefix length for the VPC. You cannot specify the range of IP addresses, or the size of the CIDR block.
