When using the command

If you want to create a DMS Replication Instance somewhere other than the default VPC and subnet, you need to first create a replication subnet group. This is created with a name and a list of one or more subnet ids (all in the same VPC).

Reference for the aws-cli call to create-replication-subnet-group: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/dms/create-replication-subnet-group.html

You would then pass that resulting replication subnet group id to create-replication-instance command as the --replication-subnet-group-identifier option.

The DMS Replication Instance would then be created in the VPC determined by the subnet group.

VPC is too broad. You need to specify the subnet in which you want the replication instance to be created. VPC can be derived from the subnet id.

create-replication-instance

--replication-subnet-group-identifier (string)

A subnet group to associate with the replication instance.
