AWS VPC Local Zone

To use an AWS Local Zone, first you need to enable / opt in to the Local Zone from the AWS console or CLI.

For Local Zone networking, you do not need to create a new VPC. A VPC can span Availability Zones and Local Zones. You only need to create a new subnet inside the existing VPC and select the enabled Local Zone as the subnet location. ([AWS Documentation][1])

Correct Flow

Enable Local Zone

Select existing VPC

Create subnet in Local Zone

Launch supported resources in that Local Zone subnet

Correct Sentence for Your Document

To use an AWS Local Zone, we must first opt in to the Local Zone. After enabling it, we do not need to create a new VPC. We can extend an existing VPC by creating a subnet in the Local Zone and then launch supported resources in that subnet.
