Quick VPC Setup (1 minute)
Complete the following steps to quickly create a dedicated VPC for WorkSpaces Secure Browser with public and private subnets for internet access. If you want to use an existing VPC, see VPC requirements for Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser to verify it meets the requirements.
Note
Make sure you're in your desired AWS Region. You can change the region in the console if needed.
To quickly set up a VPC
-
Open the VPC creation wizard: Create VPC with resources
. Keep all settings as default unless specified below: -
For Resource to create, select VPC and more.
-
For Name tag, select auto-generate and enter a descriptive name for your VPC (e.g.,
WSB-VPC). -
For IPv4 CIDR block, by default, the VPC uses
10.0.0.0/16. You can specify a different IPv4 CIDR block if needed. -
For Tenancy, select Default (VPCs with dedicated tenancy are not supported).
-
For Number of Availability Zones (AZs), select 2.
-
Expand Customize AZs and select 2 different Availability Zones that are supported by WorkSpaces Secure Browser. For the list of supported AZs, see Supported Availability Zones for Amazon WorkSpaces Secure Browser.
-
-
For Number of public subnets, select 2.
-
For Number of private subnets, select 2.
-
For Subnet CIDR blocks, if you need to customize the CIDR blocks in your subnets, expand Customize subnets CIDR blocks. Ensure each subnet has sufficient IP addresses for your expected traffic.
-
For NAT gateways, select Regional to enable internet access for private subnets across all Availability Zones.
-
For VPC endpoints, select None. If you need direct S3 access without going through the NAT gateway, select S3 Gateway.
-
For DNS options, keep DNS options enabled (default) to ensure proper name resolution within your VPC.

-
Review the Preview pane, then choose Create VPC.
