# Add the following to your existing VPC CF stack

  # create 2 subnets, lambdas like to be in multiple subnets
  Private1:
    Type: AWS::EC2::Subnet
    Properties:
      VpcId: !Ref VPC
      AvailabilityZone: !Select [ 0, !GetAZs ]
      CidrBlock: !Ref Private1CIDR

  Private2:
    Type: AWS::EC2::Subnet
    Properties:
      VpcId: !Ref VPC
      AvailabilityZone: !Select [ 0, !GetAZs ]
      CidrBlock: !Ref Private2CIDR

    Properties:
      Domain: vpc
