Get started tutorial

This tutorial walks you through the process of setting up and configuring VPC Route Server to enable dynamic routing in your VPC. You'll learn how to create and configure all the necessary components, establish BGP peering, and verify proper operation. The tutorial covers everything from initial IAM setup through testing and cleanup.

Before beginning this tutorial, ensure you have:

  • Administrative access to your Amazon account

  • A VPC with at least two subnets where you want to enable dynamic routing

  • Network devices (like firewalls running on EC2 instances) that support BGP and can serve as route server peer devices

  • Basic familiarity with BGP concepts and Amazon networking

The steps can be completed using either the Amazon Management Console or Amazon CLI. Both methods are provided for each step.

Estimated time to complete: 15-30 minutes
