sparkle-pack-vpc

SparklePack providing AWS VPC templates.

Use Cases

This SparklePack provides templates, components and dynamics for building Amazon Virtual Private Cloud networks across multiple availability zones. The following templates are provided:

• lazy_vpc__public_subnet_vpc - Creates a VPC with "public" subnets in each known availability zone, routing directly to the Internet via an Internet Gateway resource (no NAT).
• lazy_vpc__nat_subnet_vpc - Creates the same VPC as lazy_vpc__public_subnet_vpc but with additional "private" subnet per availability zone, routing to the Internet via an NAT Gateway resource.

Known availability zones are determined by querying the AWS API via sparkle-pack-aws-availability-zones.

Usage

If you are using Bundler, add sfn and sparkle-pack-aws-vpc to your Gemfile:

gem 'sfn'
gem 'sparkle-pack-aws-vpc'

Update your .sfn config file to ensure both the 'sparkle-pack-aws-availability-zones' and 'sparkle-pack-aws-vpc' SparklePacks are loaded:

Configuration.new do
  sparkle_pack [ 'sparkle-pack-aws-availability-zones', 'sparkle-pack-aws-vpc' ]
end

You can now create a VPC using sfn create:

$ bundle exec sfn create vpc --file lazy_vpc__public_subnet_vpc

Or nest a VPC in another SparkleFormation Template (e.g. your infrastructure template):

  nest!(:lazy_vpc__nat_subnet_vpc)
