How to Create a VPC

To create a VPC network via the command-line, follow these steps:

1. Install doctl, the DigitalOcean command-line tool.

2. Create a personal access token, and save it for use with doctl.

3. Use the token to grant doctl access to your DigitalOcean account.

                 doctl auth init
               

4. Finally, create a VPC network with doctl vpcs create. The basic usage looks like this, but you'll want to read the usage docs for more details:

                 doctl vpcs create [flags]
               

   The following example creates a VPC network named example-vpc in the nyc1 region

                  doctl vpcs create --name example-vpc --region nyc1
               

To create a VPC network using the DigitalOcean API, follow these steps:

1. Create a personal access token, and save it for use with the API.

2. Send a POST request to https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/vpcs

   cURL

   To create a VPC network with cURL, call:

   
                   curl -X POST \
     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
     -H "Authorization: Bearer $DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN" \
     -d '{"name":"my-new-vpc", "region":"nyc1", "ip_range": "10.10.10.0/24"}' \
     "https://api.digitalocean.com/v2/vpcs"

   Go

   Go developers can use Godo, the official DigitalOcean V2 API client for Go. To create a VPC network with Godo, use the following code:

   
                   import (
       "context"
       "os"
   
       "github.com/digitalocean/godo"
   )
   
   func main() {
       token := os.Getenv("DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN")
   
       client := godo.NewFromToken(token)
       ctx := context.TODO()
   
       createRequest := &godo.VPCCreateRequest{
        Name:       "my-new-vpc",
        RegionSlug: "nyc1",
        IPRange:    "10.10.10.0/24",
       }
   
       vpc, _, err := client.VPCs.Create(ctx, createRequest)
   }

   Python

   
                   import os
   from pydo import Client
   
   client = Client(token=os.environ.get("DIGITALOCEAN_TOKEN"))
   
   req = {
     "name": "env.prod-vpc",
     "description": "VPC for production environment",
     "region": "nyc1",
     "ip_range": "10.10.10.0/24"
   }
   
   resp = client.vpcs.create(body=req)
