Failed setting up DHCP on Windows Server 2016

I'm trying to install VHLK on a Windows Server 2016, by following this article :
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/test/hlk/getstarted/getstarted-vhlk

But first I need to set up the host and its network by following this article :
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/test/hlk/getstarted/getstarted-vhlk

Note that I have already launched an i3.metal instance on AWS.

I have already set up the Hyper-VSwitch, and added the DHCP role to the host by executing this command in the Powershell : 

   Install-WindowsFeature -Name 'DHCP' -IncludeManagementTools

But, after opening up the DHCP, then clicking the server, it shows empty.

Before :

After :

Note that after clicking, the content says : 

   There are no items to show in this view

Also, the server icon has a red minus sign in it.

Can anyone give me at least a clue on what's going on?

    Hi,

    Based on my research, you probably can't set up your own DHCP server on AWS.

    The following link is referring to how you set up the supported DHCP options for your VPC. You must create a custom set of DHCP options to use with the VPC when you assign on AWS platform.

    https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/VPC_DHCP_Options.html
