Objective
To create a new RDS database subnet group for your AWS VPC.
Background
When you create a database instance inside an Amazon VPC, you will need to define a DB Subnet Group. Then your database will use that Subnet group and the preferred Availability Zone to select a subnet and an IP address within that subnet. Note that each database Subnet Group should have at least one subnet for every Availability Zone in a given Amazon Region.
