**To create a Route 53 Profile**

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console and open the Route 53 console at [https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/](https://console.aws.amazon.com/route53/).

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Profiles**.

1. On the navigation bar, choose the Region where you want to create the Profile.

1. Enter a name for the Profile, optionally add tags, and choose **Create Profile**.

   This creates an empty Profile with default configurations to which you can associate resources. After you associate resources to the Profile, you can associate it to a number of VPCs and edit the how some of the Resolver configurations apply to the VPCs.

------
#### [ CLI ]

You can create a Profile by running a AWS CLI command like the following and using your own value for `name`.

`aws route53profiles create-profile --name test`

The following is an example output after you run the command:

```
{
    "Profile": {
        "Arn": "arn:aws:route53profiles:us-east-1:123456789012:profile/rp-6ffe47d5example",
        "ClientToken": "2ca1a304-32b3-4f5f-bc4c-EXAMPLE11111",
        "CreationTime": 1710850903.578,
        "Id": "rp-6ffe47d5example",
        "ModificationTime": 1710850903.578,
        "Name": "test",
        "OwnerId": "123456789012",
        "ShareStatus": "NOT_SHARED",
        "Status": "COMPLETE",
        "StatusMessage": "Created Profile"
    }
}
```
