Hi I would like to create a vpc with awsx ec2 Vpc but I would like to create my own subnet s to be able to share RouteTables between some of them How can I do that

You can pass in an empty array for the various subnets then do it the normal way

However if you re not taking advantage of the subnets and NAT gateway then consider not using awsx It is only there to take away that sort of undifferentiated heavy lifting if your heavy lifting is differentiated then it may be worth doing it yourself

Yes I think I will skip awsx and use regular aws resource instead to be able to better manage the configuration

If you ve got the inclination at the same time I ve been told that running your own NAT gateway using a right sized EC2 instance is a good way to save money Once you move to aws ec2 this becomes an option if you have the dev time available

Sounds like a good option we have started a migration to shared VPCs and transition GW to reduce to only 2 NAT instances
