DHCP Service for On-Premises Clients
A vNIOS appliance running on AWS can provide DHCP service for your on-premises clients. This DHCP appliance can serve as your primary DHCP server or be configured as part of a failover pair with a NIOS DHCP server running on-premises for a hybrid, survivable solution. Two vNIOS appliances, each running in AWS could also be configured for DHCP failover for highly available, fault tolerant DHCP services. Using a vNIOS appliance running on AWS for DHCP requires using DHCP Relay or IP Helper on your router or layer 3 switch to send DHCP traffic from your on-premises network to your AWS VPC.

Official documentation is also here.
TE-1425 appliances will use EC2 instance type “r4.xlarge” (4 vCPU, 30.5 GB) and will have a 250 GiB General Purpose SSD (gp2) EBS storage disk.
There are two network interfaces.
Note: In order to use the MGMT interface of your vNIOS for AWS instance, you will need a VPC with two subnets in the same availability zone and the LAN1 and MGMT interfaces must be deployed in separate subnets.
When deploying, you can set defaults
