NAME VM::EC2::REST::subnet

SYNOPSIS

 use VM::EC2 ':vpc';

METHODS

These methods manage subnet objects and the routing among them. A VPC may have a single subnet or many, and routing rules determine whether the subnet has access to the internet ("public"), is entirely private, or is connected to a customer gateway device to form a Virtual Private Network (VPN) in which your home network's address space is extended into the Amazon VPC.

All instances in a VPC are located in one subnet or another. Subnets may be public or private, and are organized in a star topology with a logical router in the middle.

Although all these methods can be called from VM::EC2 objects, many are more conveniently called from the VM::EC2::VPC object family. This allows for steps that typically follow each other, such as creating a route table and associating it with a subnet, happen automatically. For example, this series of calls creates a VPC with a single subnet, creates an Internet gateway attached to the VPC, associates a new route table with the subnet and then creates a default route from the subnet to the Internet gateway.

 $vpc       = $ec2->create_vpc('10.0.0.0/16')     or die $ec2->error_str;
 $subnet1   = $vpc->create_subnet('10.0.0.0/24')  or die $vpc->error_str;
 $gateway   = $vpc->create_internet_gateway       or die $vpc->error_str;
 $routeTbl  = $subnet->create_route_table         or die $vpc->error_str;
 $routeTbl->create_route('0.0.0.0/0' => $gateway) or die $vpc->error_str;

Unimplemented: (none)

$subnet = $ec2->create_subnet(-vpc_id=>$id,-cidr_block=>$block)

This method creates a new subnet within the given VPC. Pass a VPC object or VPC ID, and a CIDR block string. If successful, the method will return a VM::EC2::VPC::Subnet object.

Required arguments:

 -vpc_id     A VPC ID or previously-created VM::EC2::VPC object.

 -cidr_block A CIDR block string in the form "xx.xx.xx.xx/xx". The
             CIDR address must be within the CIDR block previously
             assigned to the VPC, and must not overlap other subnets
             in the VPC.

Optional arguments:

 -availability_zone  The availability zone for the instances launched
                     within this instance, either an availability zone
                     name, or a VM::EC2::AvailabilityZone object. If
                     this is not specified, then AWS chooses a zone for
                     you automatically.

$success = $ec2->delete_subnet($subnet_id)

$success = $ec2->delete_subnet(-subnet_id=>$id)

This method deletes the indicated subnet. It may be called with a single argument consisting of the subnet ID, or a named argument form with the argument -subnet_id.

@subnets = $ec2->describe_subnets(@subnet_ids)

@subnets = $ec2->describe_subnets(\%filters)

@subnets = $ec2->describe_subnets(-subnet_id=>$id, -filter => \%filters)

This method returns a list of VM::EC2::VPC::Subnet objects. Called with no arguments, it returns all Subnets (not filtered by VPC Id). Pass a list of subnet IDs or a filter hashref in order to restrict the search.

Optional arguments:

 -subnet_id     Scalar or arrayref of subnet IDs.
 -filter        Hashref of filters.

Available filters are described at http://docs.amazonwebservices.com/AWSEC2/latest/APIReference/ApiReference-query-DescribeSubnets.html

$success = $ec2->modify_subnet_attribute(-subnet_id => $sub_id, -map_public_ip_on_launch => $boolean)

Modifies a subnet attribute.

Required arguments:

 -subnet_id                 The ID of the subnet to modify.

 -map_public_ip_on_launch   Modifies the public IP addressing behavior for the
                            subnet. Specify true to indicate that instances
                            launched into the specified subnet should be
                            assigned a public IP address. If set to true, the
                            instance receives a public IP address only if the
                            instance is launched with a single, new network
                            interface with the device index of 0.

Returns true on success.
