Stackmate deploys a VPC for every environment it handles. For example, if you have two environments, production and staging, you'll get two different VPCs when finished deploying.
By default, AWS has a limit of 5 VPCs per account, which means that you should either be re-using a VPC you've already used elsewhere, or reach out to the AWS support to have them increase your VPC quota.
In our example, we'll create and use a VPC that we'll add to our stackmate configuration.
First, let's create a VPC on AWS: We can create the VPC using the Console by following this document, or use the AWS CLI by following this one instead.
Next, we need to grab the VPC ID and the Root IP used to create the CIDR blocks on the VPC
In our example, we assume that the VPC ID is vpc-1234567 and the CIDR block will be 19.0.0.0/24 which means that our root IP address is 19.0.0.0
We need to add a provider service on our configuration as follows:
---
state:
bucket: ...
lockTable: ...
environments:
production:
aws:
type: provider
vpcId: "vpc-1234567"
rootIp: "19.0.0.0"
app:
type: application
# ... the rest of the configuration here ...What stackmate will do next then, is to import the vpc specified, and use this as the reference VPC for your AWS services
