**To create a DB subnet group**

The following ``create-db-subnet-group`` example creates a DB subnet group called ``mysubnetgroup`` using existing subnets. ::

    aws rds create-db-subnet-group \
        --db-subnet-group-name mysubnetgroup \
        --db-subnet-group-description "test DB subnet group" \
        --subnet-ids '["subnet-0a1dc4e1a6f123456","subnet-070dd7ecb3aaaaaaa","subnet-00f5b198bc0abcdef"]'

Output::

        "DBSubnetGroup": {
            "DBSubnetGroupName": "mysubnetgroup",
            "DBSubnetGroupDescription": "test DB subnet group",
