3. Click Service List in the upper left corner. Under Networking, select Virtual Private Cloud.

   When the first public NAT gateway in a VPC is created, the default route (0.0.0.0/0) is automatically created in the default route table. If the default route already exists in the VPC, add a new route and set the next hop to the created public public NAT gateway.
