AWS VPC Setup
Head over to the VPC Console to make sure you have a VPC listed there. You can use a default VPC. If it doesn’t exist, then let’s create one.
The easiest way to do it is to follow this link and fill in a couple of values. At the end you should have a VPC with 2 AZ’s.
- VPC settings: VPC and more
- Name tag auto-generation:
logz-io-workshop - Auto-generate: checked
- Number of Availability Zones (AZs): 2
- NAT gateways ($): In 1 AZ

The VPC names might differ but the picture should look very similar.
