***Note: Starting with NIOS version 8.6, instances can be deployed with either one or two NICs. For older NIOS versions, two NICs and two VPC networks are required when deploying vNIOS for GCP appliances. If required or desired, repeat the above steps to create a second VPC network with a subnet in the same region, using a different address range.***

1. Wait and verify that your VPC network(s) are created successfully.
