Creating a Virtual Private Gateway
You can create a virtual private gateway to attach to a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). You can then set up a VPN connection between the VPC and a customer gateway. For more information, see Tutorial: Setting Up a VPN Connection.
You can create the virtual private gateway before or after creating the VPC.
