**To associate VPCs**

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. On the navigation bar, choose the Region where you created the Profile.

1. On the **<Profile name>** page, choose the **VPCs** tab, and then **Associate**.

1. On the **Associate VPCs** page you can select up to 10 VPCs you have previously created. If you want to associate more than 10 VPCs, use the APIs. For more information, see [AssociateProfile](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/Route53/latest/APIReference/API_route53profiles_AssociateProfile.html).

1. Choose **Associate**

1. The association progress is displayed in the **Status** column on the **VPCs** page.

#### [ CLI ]

You can list the Profiles by running a AWS CLI command like the following and using your own values for `name`, `profile-id`, and `resource-id`:

`aws route53profiles associate-profile --name test-association --profile-id rp-4987774726example --resource-id vpc-0af3b96b3example`

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

```
{
    "ProfileResourceAssociation": {
        "CreationTime": 1710851216.613,
        "Id": "rpr-001913120a7example",
        "ModificationTime": 1710851216.613,
        "Name": "test-resource-association",
        "OwnerId": "123456789012",
        "ProfileId": "rp-4987774726example",
        "ResourceArn": "arn:aws:route53resolver:us-east-1:123456789012:firewall-rule-group/rslvr-frg-cfe7f72example",

    }
}
