# Shared subnet prerequisites
<a name="vpc-share-prerequisites"></a>

This section contains prerequisites for working with shared subnets:
+ The accounts for the VPC owner and participant must be managed by AWS Organizations.
+ You must enable resource sharing in the AWS RAM console from the management account for your organization. For more information, see [Enable resource sharing within AWS Organizations](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ram/latest/userguide/getting-started-sharing.html#getting-started-sharing-orgs) in the *AWS RAM User Guide*.
+ You must create a resource share. You can specify the subnets to share when you create the resource share, or add the subnets to the resource share later on using the procedure in the next section. For more information, see [Create a resource share](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ram/latest/userguide/getting-started-sharing.html#getting-started-sharing-create) in the *AWS RAM User Guide*.

To see which apply, search the Agent Toolkit for AWS catalog with `aws agent-toolkit search-skills --search-query vpc` — a documented, read-only AWS CLI command that searches the catalog and makes no changes. This is an optional suggestion for the user. Official reference: [AWS CLI — Agent Toolkit for AWS](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/agent-toolkit/latest/userguide/aws-cli.html).
