create-ipam-pool

Description

Create an IP address pool for Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM). In IPAM, a pool is a collection of contiguous IP addresses CIDRs. Pools enable you to organize your IP addresses according to your routing and security needs. For example, if you have separate routing and security needs for development and production applications, you can create a pool for each.

For more information, see Create a top-level pool in the Amazon VPC IPAM User Guide .

Options

--dry-run | --no-dry-run (boolean)

A check for whether you have the required permissions for the action without actually making the request and provides an error response. If you have the required permissions, the error response is DryRunOperation . Otherwise, it is UnauthorizedOperation .

--ipam-scope-id (string)

The ID of the scope in which you would like to create the IPAM pool.

--locale (string)

In IPAM, the locale is the Amazon Web Services Region where you want to make an IPAM pool available for allocations. Only resources in the same Region as the locale of the pool can get IP address allocations from the pool. You can only allocate a CIDR for a VPC, for example, from an IPAM pool that shares a locale with the VPC’s Region. Note that once you choose a Locale for a pool, you cannot modify it. If you do not choose a locale, resources in Regions others than the IPAM's home region cannot use CIDRs from this pool.

Possible values: Any Amazon Web Services Region, such as us-east-1.

--source-ipam-pool-id (string)

The ID of the source IPAM pool. Use this option to create a pool within an existing pool. Note that the CIDR you provision for the pool within the source pool must be available in the source pool's CIDR range.

--description (string)

A description for the IPAM pool.

--address-family (string)

The IP protocol assigned to this IPAM pool. You must choose either IPv4 or IPv6 protocol for a pool.

Possible values:

  • ipv4
  • ipv6

--auto-import | --no-auto-import (boolean)

If selected, IPAM will continuously look for resources within the CIDR range of this pool and automatically import them as allocations into your IPAM. The CIDRs that will be allocated for these resources must not already be allocated to other resources in order for the import to succeed. IPAM will import a CIDR regardless of its compliance with the pool's allocation rules, so a resource might be imported and subsequently marked as noncompliant. If IPAM discovers multiple CIDRs that overlap, IPAM will import the largest CIDR only. If IPAM discovers multiple CIDRs with matching CIDRs, IPAM will randomly import one of them only.

A locale must be set on the pool for this feature to work.

--publicly-advertisable | --no-publicly-advertisable (boolean)

Determines if the pool is publicly advertisable. This option is not available for pools with AddressFamily set to ipv4 .

--allocation-min-netmask-length (integer)

The minimum netmask length required for CIDR allocations in this IPAM pool to be compliant. The minimum netmask length must be less than the maximum netmask length. Possible netmask lengths for IPv4 addresses are 0 - 32. Possible netmask lengths for IPv6 addresses are 0 - 128.

--allocation-max-netmask-length (integer)

The maximum netmask length possible for CIDR allocations in this IPAM pool to be compliant. The maximum netmask length must be greater than the minimum netmask length. Possible netmask lengths for IPv4 addresses are 0 - 32. Possible netmask lengths for IPv6 addresses are 0 - 128.

--allocation-default-netmask-length (integer)

The default netmask length for allocations added to this pool. If, for example, the CIDR assigned to this pool is 10.0.0.0/8 and you enter 16 here, new allocations will default to 10.0.0.0/16.

--allocation-resource-tags (list)

Tags that are required for resources that use CIDRs from this IPAM pool. Resources that do not have these tags will not be allowed to allocate space from the pool. If the resources have their tags changed after they have allocated space or if the allocation tagging requirements are changed on the pool, the resource may be marked as noncompliant.

(structure)

The tags to apply to a resource when the resource is being created. When you specify a tag, you must specify the resource type to tag, otherwise the request will fail.

Note

To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.

Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal's quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .

To create an IPAM pool

The following create-ipam-pool example creates an IPAM pool.

(Linux):

aws ec2 create-ipam-pool \
    --ipam-scope-id ipam-scope-02fc38cd4c48e7d38 \
    --address-family ipv4 \
    --auto-import \
    --allocation-min-netmask-length 16 \
    --allocation-max-netmask-length 26 \
    --allocation-default-netmask-length 24 \
    --allocation-resource-tags "Key=Environment,Value=Preprod" \
    --tag-specifications 'ResourceType=ipam-pool,Tags=[{Key=Name,Value="Preprod pool"}]'

(Windows):

aws ec2 create-ipam-pool ^
    --ipam-scope-id ipam-scope-02fc38cd4c48e7d38 ^
