Changes (request, response)
Request

{'Options': {'TunnelOptions': [{'PreSharedKey': 'string',
                                'TunnelInsideCidr': 'string'}]}}

Response

{'VpnConnection': {'Category': 'string'}}

Creates a VPN connection between an existing virtual private gateway and a VPN customer gateway. The only supported connection type is ipsec.1 .

The response includes information that you need to give to your network administrator to configure your customer gateway.

Warning

We strongly recommend that you use HTTPS when calling this operation because the response contains sensitive cryptographic information for configuring your customer gateway.

If you decide to shut down your VPN connection for any reason and later create a new VPN connection, you must reconfigure your customer gateway with the new information returned from this call.

This is an idempotent operation. If you perform the operation more than once, Amazon EC2 doesn't return an error.

For more information, see AWS Managed VPN Connections in the Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide .

type Filters

list

param Filters

One or more filters.

customer-gateway-configuration - The configuration information for the customer gateway.
customer-gateway-id - The ID of a customer gateway associated with the VPN connection.
state - The state of the VPN connection ( pending | available | deleting | deleted ).
option.static-routes-only - Indicates whether the connection has static routes only. Used for devices that do not support Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
route.destination-cidr-block - The destination CIDR block. This corresponds to the subnet used in a customer data center.
bgp-asn - The BGP Autonomous System Number (ASN) associated with a BGP device.
tag :key =*value* - The key/value combination of a tag assigned to the resource. Specify the key of the tag in the filter name and the value of the tag in the filter value. For example, for the tag Purpose=X, specify tag:Purpose for the filter name and X for the filter value.
tag-key - The key of a tag assigned to the resource. This filter is independent of the tag-value filter. For example, if you use both the filter "tag-key=Purpose" and the filter "tag-value=X", you get any resources assigned both the tag key Purpose (regardless of what the tag's value is), and the tag value X (regardless of what the tag's key is). If you want to list only resources where Purpose is X, see the tag :key =*value* filter.
tag-value - The value of a tag assigned to the resource. This filter is independent of the tag-key filter.
type - The type of VPN connection. Currently the only supported type is ipsec.1 .
vpn-connection-id - The ID of the VPN connection.
vpn-gateway-id - The ID of a virtual private gateway associated with the VPN connection.

(dict) --
