How to create default AWS VPC using terraform?

Is there a way to create default AWS VPC using terraform?

aws_vpc resource doesn't have any attribute to mark VPC as default.

I know I can use aws-cli aws ec2 create-default-vpc, but that's outside of the terraform.

Have you deleted the default VPC for a region? Or are you just wanting to start managing it with Terraform? – ydaetskcoR
Yes, I deleted the default one, which has been created with the aws account. Now without it I cannot create RDS instances. – NarūnasK
Why do you need a default VPC instead of just any VPC? – ydaetskcoR
Because of this other error: Error creating DB Instance: InvalidSubnet: No default subnet detected in VPC. To my best knowledge default subnet can only be created in the default VPC. – NarūnasK
You should create an RDS subnet group in the non default VPC and tell AWS to use that subnet group. – ydaetskcoR

No it looks like you can't via TF, you can adopt an existing default VPC but not create it: https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/aws/r/default_vpc.html.

So use the AWS cli to recreate it (if you can) and then use this new provider to adopt it.
