Create a VPC

Create a new VPC and optionally associated VPC Subnets. A successful request triggers a vpc_create event and subnet_create events for any created VPC Subnets.

After you create a VPC, you can attach it to a Linode by assigning a VPC subnet to one of the Linode's network interfaces. To do this, you can run the following operations:

• Create a Linode
• Create a config profile
• Update a config profile
• Add a configuration profile interface

You can also attach managed databases and NodeBalancers to a subnet.

Permissions and scopes

To call this operation, you need permissions, based on the model you're using:

• Identity and access permissions. Your user needs a role with these permissions. Learn more.

  • Permissions: create_vpc

• OAuth scopes. Your user needs these scopes assigned. Learn more.

  • Scopes: vpc:read_write
