Error while creating Security Group using aws-CLI

Question

I am trying to create a Security group using AWS CLI but am getting error.

aws ec2 create-security-group --group-name my-sg --description "My security group" --vpc-id vpc-208fft56hhg

An error occurred (InvalidVpcID.NotFound) when calling the CreateSecurityGroup operation: The vpc ID 'vpc-1a2b3c4d' does not exist

Answer 1

The error says you have entered a wrong VPC Id.

Check your VPC Id and then execute the statement. Your security group will be created.

C:\>aws ec2 create-security-group --group-name my-sg --description "My security group" --vpc-id vpc-0f137be1215hgyta16
{
    "GroupId": "sg-0788ff40f5gt56a55"
}

This way you will be given the Security Group Id stating that the security group is created. 

Hope this helps.
