Creating an Internet Gateway and Assigning it to the VPC

The next step is to create an internet gateway. An internet gateway is a VPC component that allows communication between the VPC and the internet.

Refer to the AWS documentation for more information.

Let’s create it and associate it with the VPC:

1. Select “Internet Gateways” from the navigation pane located at the left side.

2. You may see an existing Internet Gateway as a part of default VPC. Select “Create Internet Gateway” from the top right corner.

3. Specify the name of the Internet Gateway as follows.

4. Once the Internet Gateway is created, select “Attach to VPC”.

5. Select LK-VPC as the VPC to associate with.

6. The Internet Gateway is now configured.
