**Example 4: To create a VPC with a CIDR from an IPAM pool**

The following ``create-vpc`` example creates a VPC with a CIDR from an Amazon VPC IP Address Manager (IPAM) pool.

(Linux)::

    aws ec2 create-vpc \
        --ipv4-ipam-pool-id ipam-pool-0533048da7d823723 \
        --tag-specifications ResourceType=vpc,Tags='[{Key=Environment,Value="Preprod"},{Key=Owner,Value="Build Team"}]'

(Windows)::

    aws ec2 create-vpc ^
        --ipv4-ipam-pool-id ipam-pool-0533048da7d823723 ^
        --tag-specifications ResourceType=vpc,Tags=[{Key=Environment,Value="Preprod"},{Key=Owner,Value="Build Team"}]

Output::

   {
        "Vpc": {
            "CidrBlock": "10.0.1.0/24",
            "DhcpOptionsId": "dopt-2afccf50",
            "State": "pending",
            "VpcId": "vpc-010e1791024eb0af9",
            "OwnerId": "123456789012",
            "InstanceTenancy": "default",
            "Ipv6CidrBlockAssociationSet": [],
            "CidrBlockAssociationSet": [
                {
                    "AssociationId": "vpc-cidr-assoc-0a77de1d803226d4b",
                    "CidrBlock": "10.0.1.0/24",
                    "CidrBlockState": {
                        "State": "associated"
                    }
                }
            ],
            "IsDefault": false,
            "Tags": [
                {

                    "Value": "Build Team"
                }
            ]
        }
    }
