# Finding VPC IDs in AMS
Find VPC IDs

A virtual private cloud (VPC) has one or more subnets. In AMS your VPC is in an AWS Region and you have private and public subnets.

See also [Finding subnet IDs in AMS](find-subnet.md).

Some CTs require the VpcId. To find a VPC ID, you can use either the AMS console or API/CLI.

AMS Console:

In the navigation pane, select **VPCs** and the relevant VPC. The VPC details page for the selected VPC opens with information including the VPC ID.

AMS SKMS API ListVpcSummaries or CLI:
**Note**  
The AMS CLI must be installed for these commands to work. To install the AMS API or CLI, go to the AMS console **Developers Resources** page. For reference material on the AMS CM API or AMS SKMS API, see the AMS Information Resources section in the User Guide. You may need to add a `--profile` option for authentication; for example, `aws amsskms ams-cli-command --profile SAML`. You may also need to add the `--region` option as all AMS commands run out of us-east-1; for example `aws amscm ams-cli-command --region=us-east-1`.
**Note**  
The AMS API/CLI (amscm and amsskms) endpoints are in the AWS N. Virginia Region, `us-east-1`. Depending on how your authentication is set, and what AWS Region your account and resources are in, you may need to add `--region us-east-1` when issuing commands. You may also need to add `--profile saml`, if that is your authentication method.

1. In the following examples, the first command requests a list of summaries for all VPCs in the account. The second command requests the list of VPCs, with a query filter to list only those VPCs created in 2016, and output the CreatedTime, VpcId, and Name.
**Note**  
You can obtain the AMS SKMS CLI through the **Developer's Resources** page in the AMS console.

   ```
   aws amsskms list-vpc-summaries --output table
   ```

   ```

1. This time with a query:

   ```
   aws amsskms list-VPC-summaries --query "VPCSummaries[?starts_with(@.CreatedTime,to_string(`2016`))].[CreatedTime, VpcId, Name]" --output table
   ```

   ```
