See I've deleted my default VPC. How do I get it back?
Will AWS designate an existing VPC as the "default" VPC?
Direct from AWS tech support, here's what they have to say about this (as of 2017-02-08):
...existing VPC's can not be assigned as the default and we can only create a new Default VPC for you.
Please note that when we create a default VPC, we do the following to set it up for you:
- Create a default subnet in each Availability Zone.
- Create an Internet gateway and connect it to your default VPC.
- Create a main route table for your default VPC with a rule that sends all traffic destined for the Internet to the Internet gateway.
- Create a default security group and associate it with your default VPC.
- Create a default network access control list (ACL) and associate it with your default VPC.
- Associate the default DHCP options set for your AWS account with your default VPC.
