# aws\_route\_table

Provides a resource to create a VPC routing table.

## Example usage with tags:

```
resource "aws_route_table" "r" {
    vpc_id = "${aws_vpc.default.id}"
    route {
        cidr_block = "10.0.1.0/24"
        gateway_id = "${aws_internet_gateway.main.id}"
    }

	tags {
		Name = "main"
	}
}
```

## Argument Reference

The following arguments are supported:

* `vpc_id` - (Required) The ID of the routing table.
* `route` - (Optional) A list of route objects. Their keys are documented below.
* `tags` - (Optional) A mapping of tags to assign to the resource.

Each route supports the following:

* `cidr_block` - (Required) The CIDR block of the route.

cannot be specified.
