Terraform from hashicorp is the best way to do that in my opinion. You can also use the terraforming from dtan4 at this link to export the existing resources and adjust them to create another environment. For example you may want to go for another IP range, name it different etc.

You should use Cloudfomer to "reverse-engineer" your VPC setup, and there is a nice layout as well. Nevertheless, you need special IAM roles to do this.

http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/cfn-using-cloudformer.html

Because it is "reverse-engineer", all the VPC setting will be similar(same VPC IP/CIDR , subnets) ) , AWS will assign new ID for individual component. To avoid maintenance nightmare, You should assign different tag name for your production and test environment.

There's no API for this, but you can set up a script pretty easily.

Alternatively, instead of creating the first one manually, you can create it with CloudFormation so you can make multiple identical copies (even in different Regions) whenever you want.
