VPNGateway

Learn how to create, update, and manage AWS EC2 VPNGateways using Alchemy Cloud Control.

The VPNGateway resource allows you to create and manage AWS EC2 VPNGateways that enable secure VPN connections between your on-premises networks and your AWS VPCs.

Minimal Example

Create a basic VPNGateway with a specified type and Amazon Side ASN.

import AWS from "alchemy/aws/control";

const basicVPNGateway = await AWS.EC2.VPNGateway("basic-vpn-gateway", {
  Type: "ipsec.1",
  AmazonSideAsn: 65000,
  Tags: [
    { Key: "Name", Value: "BasicVPNGateway" }
  ]
});

Advanced Configuration

Configure a VPNGateway with advanced properties including tags and the option to adopt existing resources.

const advancedVPNGateway = await AWS.EC2.VPNGateway("advanced-vpn-gateway", {
  Type: "ipsec.1",
  AmazonSideAsn: 65001,
  Tags: [
    { Key: "Environment", Value: "Production" },
    { Key: "Team", Value: "Networking" }
  ],
  adopt: true // Adopt an existing resource if it already exists
});

Use Case: High Availability Setup

Create two VPNGateways for a high availability setup across multiple regions.

const primaryVPNGateway = await AWS.EC2.VPNGateway("primary-vpn-gateway", {
  Type: "ipsec.1",
  AmazonSideAsn: 65002,
  Tags: [
    { Key: "Environment", Value: "HighAvailability" },
    { Key: "Region", Value: "us-east-1" }
  ]
});

const secondaryVPNGateway = await AWS.EC2.VPNGateway("secondary-vpn-gateway", {
  Type: "ipsec.1",
  AmazonSideAsn: 65003,
  Tags: [
    { Key: "Environment", Value: "HighAvailability" },
    { Key: "Region", Value: "us-west-2" }
  ]
});

Use Case: Multi-VPC Connectivity

Set up a VPNGateway to connect multiple VPCs for cross-region communication.

const multiVpcVPNGateway = await AWS.EC2.VPNGateway("multi-vpc-vpn-gateway", {
  Type: "ipsec.1",
  AmazonSideAsn: 65004,
  Tags: [
    { Key: "UseCase", Value: "MultiVPCConnectivity" },
    { Key: "Owner", Value: "DevOpsTeam" }
  ]
});
