**To create an IPAM**

The following ``create-ipam`` example creates an IPAM.

(Linux)::

    aws ec2 create-ipam \
        --description "Example description" \
        --operating-regions "RegionName=us-east-2" "RegionName=us-west-1" \
        --tag-specifications 'ResourceType=ipam,Tags=[{Key=Name,Value=ExampleIPAM}]'

(Windows)::

    aws ec2 create-ipam ^
        --description "Example description" ^
        --operating-regions "RegionName=us-east-2" "RegionName=us-west-1" ^
        --tag-specifications ResourceType=ipam,Tags=[{Key=Name,Value=ExampleIPAM}]

Output::
