creating-production-vpc-multi-az

creating-production-vpc-multi-az is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aws/agent-toolkit-for-aws. It costs 65 tokens per session (470 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guide for creating a production AWS VPC across multiple Availability Zones, which are separate data-centre areas within an AWS region. It sets up public and private subnets, routing, gateways, and security groups.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a multi-zone VPC, calculate network ranges, add internet and NAT gateways, configure route tables and DNS, and define separate access rules for network tiers.
Why use it?
It provides a structured network layout with high availability and controlled access for applications running in AWS.

About the project

Agent Toolkit for AWS is a collection of AWS-supported MCP servers, skills, plugins, commands, and hooks that help AI coding agents build, deploy, and manage applications on AWS. It is used by developers working with AWS services through agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Kiro. The catalogue entries are the toolkit's own agent extensions for AWS development and operations.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

creating-production-vpc-multi-az scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Creating a Production-Ready VPC Across Multiple Availability Zones

Overview

Domain expertise for creating production-ready VPC infrastructure distributed across multiple Availability Zones. Covers VPC creation with DNS support, public and private subnet layout with automatic CIDR calculation, internet gateway, NAT gateways for high-availability outbound access, route table configuration, and tiered security groups following AWS Well-Architected principles.

Create a production VPC

To create a fully configured multi-AZ VPC with public/private subnets, NAT gateways, route tables, and security groups, follow the procedure exactly. See Production VPC creation procedure.

Key parameters:

  • vpc_name (required): Name prefix for all resources
  • region (required): Target AWS region
  • allowed_web_cidrs (required): CIDR blocks allowed for web access — allow 0.0.0.0/0 only if explicitly requested
  • vpc_cidr (optional, default 10.0.0.0/16): VPC CIDR block
  • availability_zones (optional, default 3): Number of AZs (2–6)
  • environment (required): Environment tag
  • enable_ssh_access (optional, default false): Whether to create SSH security group

Troubleshooting

Insufficient Availability Zones

The target region must have at least 2 available AZs. Use aws ec2 describe-availability-zones to verify.

NAT Gateway creation delays

NAT Gateways can take several minutes to become available. The procedure waits for availability before configuring route tables.

Security group CIDR warnings

The procedure warns about 0.0.0.0/0 for web access CIDRs and recommends specific IP ranges for production workloads, but allows it if explicitly requested.

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
