AWS Certified CloudOps Engineer Associate SOA-C03 Practice Question
A CloudFormation template deploys an Auto Scaling group across two private subnets in an existing VPC. Stack creation fails with the message "subnet-xxxx does not have enough available IP addresses for new ENIs". The company wants the stack to succeed without reducing instance capacity. Which action is the MOST appropriate remediation?
Edit the Launch Template to disable secondary network interfaces, thereby reducing the ENIs created per instance.
Associate an additional IPv4 CIDR block with the VPC, create new private subnets with a larger CIDR, update the template to reference them, and redeploy the stack.
Modify each existing subnet from /24 to /20 in the VPC console, then retry the CloudFormation deployment.
Decrease the Auto Scaling group's MaxSize parameter so the current subnets have enough free IP addresses.
A subnet's IPv4 CIDR range is immutable. If available addresses are exhausted, the only scalable fix is to create larger or additional subnets and direct the stack to use them. Associating a secondary CIDR block with the VPC allows creation of new, roomier subnets without affecting existing resources. Expanding a subnet's CIDR is impossible, lowering the Auto Scaling group's size contradicts the requirement, and disabling secondary ENIs does not address primary-ENI allocation limits.
