SAP-C02 Practice Question: Design Solutions for Organizational Complexity
A company wants to use AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM) to share a subnet in a VPC with other accounts in the organization. Which of the following are required? (Choose THREE.)
⚠ Common exam trap
Candidates often think VPC sharing requires enabling a feature in the Organizations console, but RAM handles the sharing directly without any Organizations-level toggle, and they also mistakenly believe consumer accounts must create subnets to use them.
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
✓
The subnet must be created by the owning account.
AWS Resource Access Manager (RAM) requires the subnet to be created by the owning account. The owning account creates the subnet in its own VPC and then shares it via RAM. Consumer accounts cannot share subnets they did not create; they can only use the shared subnet to launch resources.
