I've got an OLD AWS account that apparently does NOT have a default VPC:
aws ec2 describe-security-groups --group-names webserviced --region us-west-1
A client error (VPCIdNotSpecified) occurred when calling the DescribeSecurityGroups operation: No default VPC for this user
There's no switch on create-vpc...only a boolean (IsDefault) in the output. I'm trying to replicate my infrastructure to the east coast and this is blocking me :( I don't have ANYTHING created on the east-coast (except for a single VPC that apparently isn't set as the default) so I'd at least like to figure out how to do it there so I don't have these issues in the future.
How can I define a default VPC?
P.S. Please don't say that I can't because there's already one defined...unless there's something I'm missing in which case I'd expect a big explanation :)
I can confirm that it's not possible to set a custom VPC to your default VPC. Most use-cases don't require a lot of customization on a VPC since you can map the network in/out of the tunnel.
