Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Step 5: Create an Instance Profile

Before you create an instance profile, configure a subnet group for your instance profile.
