Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Create VPC, Create subnet, Create Internet Gateway, Attach Internet Gateway to VPC, Create route table, Add route to Internet Gateway, Associate route table with subnet
VPC creation, subnet, internet gateway, routing, and association are the standard steps for a public subnet.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Create VPC, Create subnet, Create Internet Gateway, Attach Internet Gateway to VPC, Create route table, Add route to Internet Gateway, Associate route table with subnet
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because you must first create the VPC, then a subnet within it. Next, create an Internet Gateway and attach it to the VPC. Then create a route table, add a default route pointing to the Internet Gateway, and finally associate the route table with the subnet to make it public.
- ✗
Create VPC, Create Internet Gateway, Attach Internet Gateway to VPC, Create subnet, Create route table, Add route to Internet Gateway, Associate route table with subnet
Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because the subnet must be created within the VPC before configuring routing. Creating the Internet Gateway and attaching it before the subnet is possible but placing subnet creation after routing setup is wrong; routing steps should occur after subnet creation.
- ✗
Create subnet, Create VPC, Create Internet Gateway, Attach Internet Gateway to VPC, Create route table, Add route to Internet Gateway, Associate route table with subnet
Why it's wrong here
This order is invalid because a subnet is a regional resource that must be created inside an existing VPC, so placing Create subnet before Create VPC makes the first step impossible. AWS will reject the call with a VpcIdNotFound error since the VPC does not yet exist to define the subnet's CIDR and availability zone. Even though the later steps correctly create and attach the Internet Gateway and configure the route table, the dependency violation at the start invalidates the entire sequence.
- ✗
Create VPC, Create subnet, Create route table, Associate route table with subnet, Create Internet Gateway, Attach Internet Gateway to VPC, Add route to Internet Gateway
Why it's wrong here
This order is incorrect because the route table association and route addition should happen after the Internet Gateway is created and attached. Adding a route to the Internet Gateway before it exists is invalid, and associating the route table with the subnet before configuring the route is premature.
