• VPC—Connect to an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud. If you select this option, you must have previously used AWS to create a VPC for the Availability Zone you specify with the Amazon Pod option.

Amazon Region

An Amazon Availability Zone, which corresponds to a geographic area.

Availability Zone or VPC

Choice of Amazon Availability Zone or Virtual Private Cloud, which determines where in AWS your virtual machines are generated.

• Customer—A default network label for a network container based on Availability Zones. The Customer label does not map to any Amazon entity.
• Range of IP addresses—The addresses available to the network address.

Network Alias

Name

Name for the service you want to offer in the service catalog.

Service Description

Refer to Amazon product documentation for more information about access keys.

Default Size

Select the amount of computing capacity provided by the AMI.
