    • IPv6 CIDR block: Select No IPv6 CIDR block.
    • Tenancy: Select Default.
  4. Click Create VPC.

    The VPC is created and displayed on Your VPCs list.

Step 2. Configure the VPC

  1. Create a subnet so that you can launch tasks and services in a subnet.
    1. On the left navigation bar, click Subnets, then click Create Subnet.

    2. Set up a subnet as follows, then click Create subnet.
