WARNING!
Due to RightScale Legacy Platform deprecation, this section covering Amazon Web Services Virtual Private Clouds (VPC) is no longer valid. Please see the Network Manager section for current information on creating and managing AWS VPCs.

When Customer and VPN Gateways are created in EC2 a unique ID is issued for each. When you create the VPN Connection from the Dashboard UI the unique ID's are automatically provided for you in a drop down menu. (Making the steps to create your connection even easier.)
Steps
Step 1: Navigation
- Navigate to Clouds -> AWS US/EU -> VPCs
- Select the Gateways tab
Step 2: Provide VPN Connection information
- Select the New VPN Connection action button
- Provide the following information
- Type - The type of VPN network connection. (Although there is no default value, only IPsec is currently supported so "ipsec.1" is prepopulated for you.)
