- An Amazon Web Services account.
The account must have access to basic AWS services such as CloudFormation, Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3), Systems Manager, Amazon CloudWatch, Lambda, AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), Amazon DynamoDB, Secrets Manager, AWS Certificate Manager, and Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS).
- The CloudFormation template.
Open and save a local copy of the arcgis-vpc.template.json template.
Required tasks
Complete the following task before running this template:
Confirm that the number of Virtual Private Clouds in the region where you want to create this VPC does not exceed the number allowed for the region. The default number is five per region, but you can increase this limit by sending a request to AWS.
