Add a NAT Gateway to an Existing VPC
If you have already configured a VPC, complete the following steps to add a NAT gateway to your VPC. If you need to create a new VPC, see Create and Configure a New VPC.
To add a NAT gateway to an existing VPC
-
To create your NAT gateway, complete the steps in Creating a NAT Gateway in the Amazon VPC User Guide.
-
Verify that your VPC has at least one private subnet. We recommend that you specify two private subnets from different Availability Zones for high availability and fault tolerance. For information about how to create a second private subnet, see Step 3: Add a Second Private Subnet.
-
Update the route table associated with one or more of your private subnets to point internet-bound traffic to the NAT gateway. This enables the streaming instances in your private subnets to communicate with the internet. To do so, complete the steps in Updating Your Route Table in the Amazon VPC User Guide.
