:CreateVpc

更新时间:Aug 21, 2023

Creates a virtual private cloud (VPC).

Usage notes

When you call this operation, take note of the following items:

  • You can specify only one CIDR block for each VPC.
  • After you create a VPC, you cannot change its CIDR block. However, you can add secondary IPv4 CIDR blocks to the VPC.
  • In each VPC, cloud services can use a maximum of 60,000 private IP addresses. You cannot increase the quota.
  • After you create a VPC, a vRouter and a route table are automatically created.
  • At most three user CIDR blocks can be added to a VPC. If a user CIDR block includes another user CIDR block, the one with the shorter subnet mask takes effect. For example, if both 10.0.0.0/8 and 10.1.0.0/16 are specified, only 10.0.0.0/8 takes effect.
  • CreateVpc is an asynchronous operation. After a request is sent, the system returns a request ID and runs the task in the background. You can call the DescribeVpcAttribute operation to query the status of the task:
    • If the VPC is in the Creating state, the VPC is being created.
    • If the VPC is in the Created state, the VPC is created.
  • You cannot repeatedly call the DeleteRouteEntry operation to create default VPCs within a specific time period. However, you can repeatedly call this operation to create custom VPCs within a specific time period.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.

Request parameters

Parameter Type Required Example Description
Action String Yes CreateVpc

The operation that you want to perform. Set the value to CreateVpc.

RegionId String Yes cn-hangzhou

The ID of the region to which the VPC belongs.

You can call the DescribeRegions operation to query the most recent region list.

CidrBlock String No 172.16.0.0/12

The CIDR block of the VPC.

  • You can specify one of the following CIDR blocks or their subsets as the primary IPv4 CIDR block of the VPC: 192.168.0.0/16, 172.16.0.0/12, and 10.0.0.0/8. These CIDR blocks are standard private CIDR blocks as defined by Request for Comments (RFC) documents. The subnet mask must be 8 to 28 bits in length.
  • You can also use a custom CIDR block other than 100.64.0.0/10, 224.0.0.0/4, 127.0.0.0/8, 169.254.0.0/16, and their subnets as the primary IPv4 CIDR block of the VPC.
Ipv6CidrBlock String No 2408:XXXX:0:6a::/56

The IPv6 CIDR blocks of the VPC.

VpcName String No abc

The name of the VPC.

The name must be 1 to 128 characters in length and cannot start with http:// or https://.

EnableIpv6 Boolean No false

Specifies whether to enable IPv6. Valid values:

  • false (default)
  • true: yes
Description String No This is my first Vpc

The description of the VPC.

The description must be 1 to 256 characters in length and cannot start with http:// or https://.

ResourceGroupId String No rg-acfmxazb4ph6aiy****

The ID of the resource group.

For more information about resource groups, see What is a resource group?

Tag.N.Key String No FinanceDept

The key of tag N to add to the resource. You can specify at most 20 tag keys. The tag key cannot be an empty string.

The tag key can be at most 128 characters in length. It cannot start with aliyun or acs:, and cannot contain http:// or https://.

Tag.N.Value String No FinanceJoshua

The value of tag N to add to the resource. You can specify at most 20 tag values. The tag value can be an empty string.

The tag value can be up to 128 characters in length, and cannot contain http:// or https://. The tag value cannot start with aliyun or acs:.

DryRun Boolean No false

Specifies whether to perform only a dry run, without performing the actual request. Valid values:

  • true: performs only a dry run. The system checks the request for potential issues, including missing parameter values, incorrect request syntax, and service limits. If the request fails the dry run, an error message is returned. If the request passes the dry run, the DryRunOperation error code is returned.
  • false (default): performs a dry run and performs the actual request. If the request passes the dry run, a 2xx HTTP status code is returned and the operation is performed.
UserCidr String No 192.168.0.0/12

The user CIDR block. Separate user CIDR blocks with commas (,). You can specify up to three user CIDR blocks.

For more information about user CIDR blocks, see the What is a user CIDR block? section in VPC FAQ.

ClientToken String No 123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426655440000

The client token that is used to ensure the idempotence of the request.

You can use the client to generate the token, but you must make sure that the token is unique among different requests. The token can contain only ASCII characters.

Note If you do not specify this parameter, the system automatically uses the request ID as the client token. The request ID may be different for each request.
Ipv6Isp String No BGP

The type of the IPv6 CIDR block of the VPC. Valid values:

  • BGP (default): Alibaba Cloud Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)
  • ChinaMobile: China Mobile (single ISP).
  • ChinaUnicom: China Unicom (single ISP).
  • ChinaTelecom: China Telecom (single ISP).
Note If your Alibaba Cloud account is allowed to use single-ISP bandwidth, you can set this parameter to ChinaTelecom, ChinaUnicom, or ChinaMobile.
Ipv4IpamPoolId String No ipam-pool-sycmt3p2a9v63i****

The ID of the IP Address Manager (IPAM) pool of the IPv4 type.

VpcId String vpc-bp15zckdt37pq72zv****

The ID of the created VPC.

VRouterId String vrt-bp1lhl0taikrteen8****

The ID of the vRouter that is automatically created by the system after the VPC is created.

RequestId String 0ED8D006-F706-4D23-88ED-E11ED28DCAC0

The request ID.

RouteTableId String vtb-bp145q7glnuzdv****

The ID of the route table that is automatically created by the system after the VPC is created.

ResourceGroupId String rg-acfmxazb4ph6aiy****

The ID of the resource group.
