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, then create subnets, then create Internet Gateway, then configure route tables, then launch instances.
Why this is correct
This is the correct order because the VPC must exist before subnets, the Internet Gateway must be attached before routing, and route tables must be configured before instances use them.
- ✗
Create VPC, then create Internet Gateway, then create subnets, then configure route tables, then launch instances.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because subnets must be created before the Internet Gateway can be attached to them, and the Internet Gateway is usually created after subnets to ensure proper routing.
- ✗
Create subnets, then create VPC, then create Internet Gateway, then configure route tables, then launch instances.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because subnets cannot be created without an existing VPC; the VPC must be created first.
- ✗
Create VPC, then create subnets, then configure route tables, then create Internet Gateway, then launch instances.
Why it's wrong here
This is incorrect because route tables should be configured after the Internet Gateway is created to include a route to the gateway for public subnets.
