Description

The instance creation page allows you to either create an instance in the default VPC, or to create a whole custom network interface. If you want to create an instance in another VPC you are forced to go through the custom network interface. It'd be nice if there was an easier option for that.

Research direction

Start at the instance creation page and trace the existing default VPC and custom network interface flows. Define the simpler path for selecting another VPC and subnet, then verify that an instance can be created there without requiring a whole custom network interface.
