= Creating the {aws-short} infrastructure separately

To create the {aws-first} infrastructure, you need to create a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) and other resources for your cluster. You can use the {aws-short} console or an infrastructure automation and provisioning tool. For instructions to use the {aws-short} console, see link:https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/create-vpc.html#create-vpc-and-other-resources[Create a VPC plus other VPC resources] in the {aws-short} Documentation.

The VPC must include private and public subnets and resources for external access, such as a network address translation (NAT) gateway and an internet gateway. In addition to the VPC, you need a private hosted zone for the ingress of your cluster. If you are creating clusters that use PrivateLink (`Private` or `PublicAndPrivate` access modes), you need an additional hosted zone for PrivateLink.

Create the {aws-short} infrastructure for your hosted cluster by using the following example configuration:
