subnets are created automatically.

b.
In the navigation list, click Subnets.
In the list of subnets, find the two subnets that are in your Amazon VPC:
The public subnet will have one fewer available IP address, because the wizard creates an
Amazon EC2 NAT instance and an Elastic IP address (for which Amazon EC2 rates apply) for
outbound communication to the Internet from your private subnet.
Tip
Make a note of your two subnet identifiers, and which is public and private. You will need
this information later when you launch your cache clusters and add an Amazon EC2 instance
to your Amazon VPC.
