# Scenario: Provision Spoke VPCs in an AWS Account.
This example demonstrates provisioning of multiple Spoke VPCs in an AWS Account with different connectivity and usage of Network Shared Services (NSS).
- Spoke VPC "dev-app1"
- Three tier subnets to support hosting web (public), app (private) and db (private) resources.
- VPC to VPC connectivity via "DEV" network segment.
- Connectivity with the VPC "dev-app2"
- No connectivity with the VPC "dev-app3"
- Enable usage of all available VPC endpoints
- Enable usage of hybrid DNS for DNS resolution with on-premises DNS servers.
- Spoke VPC "dev-app2"
- Three tier subnets to support hosting web (public), app (private) and db (private) resources.
- VPC to VPC connectivity via "DEV" network segment.
- Connectivity with the VPC "dev-app1"
- No connectivity with the VPC "dev-app3"
- Enable usage of only "S3" VPC endpoint.
- Enable usage of hybrid DNS for DNS resolution with on-premises DNS servers.
- Spoke VPC "dev-app3"
- Three tier subnets to support hosting web (public), app (private) and db (private) resources.
- VPC to VPC connectivity via "ISOLATED" network segment.
- No connectivity with any other VPC except on-premises and NSS VPC
- Enable usage of all available VPC endpoints
- Enable usage of hybrid DNS for DNS resolution with on-premises DNS servers.
This example can be modified to create more VPCs in the AWS Account with different features.
## Prerequisites
- The target AWS Account (e.g. Dev) and AWS Region are identified.
- Terraform backend provider and state locking providers are identified and bootstrapped.
- A [bootstrap](../../bootstrap) example is provided that provisions an Amazon S3 bucket for Terraform state storage and Amazon DynamoDB table for Terraform state locking.
- The Amazon S3 bucket name must be globally unique.
- The centralized NSS VPC is created in the same AWS account to which these spoke VPCs will be connected.
- A [nw_shared_svc/one-account](../../nw_shared_svc/one_account) example is provided that provisions the NSS VPC.
- Uniform resource tagging scheme is identified.
- The examples use only two tags: `Env` and `Project`
## Execution
- cd to `examples/spoke_vpcs/one_account` folder.
- Make sure you are using the correct AWS Profile that has permission to provision the target resources in the target account.
- `aws sts get-caller-identity`
- Modify `terraform.tfvars` to your requirements.
- Use provided values as guidance.
- Modify `provider.tf` as per your environment.
- Make sure `data.terraform_remote_state.nw_shared_svc` points to the correct `nw_shared_svc` terraform state.
- Modify `main.tf` to your requirements.
- Use provided values as guidance.
- Try different features of the module or add more VPCs.
- Execute `terraform init` to initialize Terraform.
- Execute `terraform plan` and verify the changes.
- Execute `terraform apply` and approve the changes.
- Examine the `outputs` and provisioned resources in the AWS Console of the target account.
- VPC, subnets, route tables (routes) and NAT Gateway(s)
- Prefix lists for the network segments and entries.
- Transit Gateway and attachments
- TGW route tables associations and propagations
- Route 53 DNS resolvers rules and VPC association
- Route 53 hosted zones and VPC associations
## Validate VPC to VPC and VPC to VPC Endpoint connectivity
While creating NSS VPC with VPC endpoints:
- if `generate_vpce_test_script` is "true" then a test shell script is created for testing connectivity to VPC endpoints in `.temp` folder.
While creating Spoke VPCs:
- if `create_test_ec2` (at VPC level) is "true" then a `t2.micro` instance is created in each subnet of the VPC for testing.
- if `ec2_test_script` (at module level) is specified then a test shell script is created for testing connectivity in `.temp` folder.
Connect to any of the test EC2 instances via AWS Console or AWS CLI/SSM and execute these scripts to validate the VPC to VPC and VPC to VPC endpoint connectivity.
