# Creating Networks

This page explains how to create a network in your cloud account, which will allow members of your organization to provision clusters.

## Steps

1. Navigate to **Cloud Accounts** in the sidebar.

2. Select the cloud account you want to add a network to.

3. Click **Add Network**.

4. Enter a **Name** for the network. The name must contain only lowercase letters and numbers.

5. If using an AWS cloud account, select a **Networking Mode**. For more information about networking modes, see [Configuring Networks](/docs/organization-admin/cloud/cloud-accounts/networks/configuring-networks).

6. Configure the **Regions** and **CIDR blocks** for your network. Each region must have a unique CIDR block, and CIDR blocks cannot overlap.

7. Submit the form to begin provisioning. The network will start provisioning automatically, and you can track its progress on the network detail page.

:::info About Regions

You can configure multiple regions for a single network. Each region requires its own CIDR block, and regions must be unique within a network.
