  5. For Network type, choose Dual-stack mode to create an instance profile that supports IPv4 and IPv6 addressing. Keep the default option to create an instance profile that supports only IPv4 addressing.

  6. Next, choose Virtual private cloud (VPC) to run your instance of the selected network type. Then choose a Subnet group and VPC security groups for your instance profile.

    To connect to Amazon RDS databases, use a subnet group that includes public subnets. To connect to on-premises databases, use a subnet group that includes private subnets. Make sure that you configured your network so that Amazon DMS can access your source on-premises database using the NAT gateway's public IP address.
