Lab Information
The Nautilus DevOps team is strategizing the migration of a portion of their infrastructure to the AWS cloud. Recognizing the scale of this undertaking, they have opted to approach the migration in incremental steps rather than as a single massive transition.
For this task, create one subnet named nautilus-subnet under default VPC.
Lab Solution
Steps to Create the Subnet (AWS Console)
- Log in to AWS Console
Use your provided username/password.
Make sure the region is us-east-1 (N. Virginia).
- Find the Default VPC
Go to VPC service → Your VPCs.
Look for the VPC where:
Name tag = blank or "default"
Is Default = Yes
Copy the VPC ID (e.g., vpc-0abc1234def567890).
- Create the Subnet
In the left menu → click Subnets.
Click Create subnet.
Fill in:
VPC ID: (select your default VPC)
Subnet name: nautilus-subnet
Availability Zone: pick any (e.g., us-east-1a)
IPv4 CIDR block: choose a free block, e.g.:
172.31.96.0/20
(Default VPC ranges usually use 172.31.0.0/16; any unused /24 inside that is fine.)
Click Create subnet.
