Creating and Assigning an Internet Gateway

When you create a VPC, an internet gateway is automatically assigned to it. You can use that gateway, or you can assign your own. If you are using the default internet gateway, continue with the next procedure, Creating a Security Group.

Otherwise, create an internet gateway specific to your needs. Associate your internet gateway with your VPC and subnet.
