Prerequisites
A virtual private cloud (VPC) and a vSwitch are created. For more information, see the "Create a VPC" and "Create a vSwitch " topics in the VPC User Guide.
If you want to assign an IPv6 address to the instance that you want to create, make sure that the VPC and vSwitch are associated with IPv6 CIDR blocks. For more information, see the "Create an IPv6 V PC" topic in the VPC User Guide.
A security group is created. For more information, see Create a Security Group.
