How do I create and attach an internet gateway to a VPC?

Resolution

For the resources in a VPC to send and receive traffic from the internet, make sure you complete the following steps:

• You must attach an internet gateway to the VPC. For more information, see Create and attach an internet gateway.
• The route tables that are associated with your public subnet (including custom route tables) must have a route to the internet gateway.
• The security groups and network access control lists (network ACLs) that are associated with your VPC must allow traffic to and from the internet.
• Your subnet's resources must have a public IP address or an attached Elastic IP address.

For more information on instructions for each of these steps, see Connect to the internet using an internet gateway.
