SAP-C02 Practice Question: Design Solutions for Organizational Complexity
A company uses AWS Organizations with a large number of accounts. The networking team wants to centrally manage VPCs and subnets using AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM) and share subnets to member accounts. What must be done in the member accounts to use shared subnets?
⚠ Common exam trap
Watch out — candidates often assume a manual acceptance step is always required for RAM shares, but within an organization with enabled sharing, the process is automatic and no invitation or acceptance is needed.

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Nothing, shared subnets are automatically available to all accounts in the organization.
When AWS Organizations is configured with all features enabled and sharing is enabled within the organization, Resource Access Manager (RAM) automatically shares resources with all accounts in the organization without requiring individual acceptance. Therefore, shared subnets are immediately available to member accounts for launching resources, and no additional action is needed in the member accounts.
