1. API Description

Domain name for API request: vpc.tencentcloudapi.com.

This API (CreateVpc) is used to create VPCs.

  • The subnet mask of the smallest IP address range that can be created is 28 (16 IP addresses), and that of the largest IP address range is 16 (65,536 IP addresses). For more information, please see the document about VPC IP address ranges.
  • You can create a subnet while creating a VPC. When you create a subnet, you should also configure the subnet IP address range and the availability zone in which the subnet resides. Subnet IP address ranges in the same VPC cannot overlap with each other, and the disaster recovery across different availability zones is allowed. For more information, please see the document about VPC availability zones.
  • If you create a subnet while creating a VPC, the system will create a default route table and associate it with this subnet.
  • The number of VPC resources that can be created in a region is also limited. For more information, please see VPC Use Limits. To request more resources, contact the customer service.

A maximum of 100 requests can be initiated per second for this API.

Note: This API supports Finance regions. Since Finance regions and non-Finance regions are isolated and not interconnected. If the common parameter Region is a Finance region (such as ap-shanghai-fsi), you need to specify a domain name containing the Finance region that should be identical to the value of Region field, for example: vpc.ap-shanghai-fsi.tencentcloudapi.com.
