VPC subnet misconfiguration.

Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) allows you to build a logically isolated network environment in the AWS cloud. While VPCs provide flexibility and security, even a small misconfiguration, especially at the subnet level, can cause connectivity issues, service outages, and security gaps. At Informatix Systems, we specialize in identifying and resolving VPC subnet misconfiguration problems to ensure your AWS environment is well-structured, secure, and high-performing.

What Is a VPC Subnet Misconfiguration

A VPC subnet misconfiguration occurs when subnets are incorrectly defined or associated within a VPC. This can lead to failed connectivity between instances, services being unreachable, or incorrect routing of network traffic. Common errors include missing route tables, incorrect network ACLs, overlapping IP ranges, or improper availability zone assignments.

Common Causes of VPC Subnet Misconfigurations

1. Incorrect Route Table Association
   Subnets not linked to the proper route table can block communication with the internet or other subnets.

2. Mismatched Availability Zones
   Deploying resources in unintended availability zones can cause latency issues or prevent redundancy.

3. Overlapping IP Ranges
   Conflicting CIDR blocks between subnets can prevent services from communicating.

4. Missing or Misconfigured Internet Gateways
   Without a properly attached internet gateway, public subnets cannot route traffic externally.

5. Restrictive Network ACLs or Security Groups
   Overly strict rules can unintentionally block legitimate traffic.

6. Improper Subnet Sizing
   Subnets that are too small can quickly exhaust IP addresses, causing deployment failures.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the role of a subnet in AWS VPC?
A subnet divides a VPC’s IP space and allows for better resource placement, security, and routing control.

How can I tell if my VPC subnets are misconfigured?
Common symptoms include unreachable instances, failed internet access, or inter-service communication problems.

Can overlapping CIDR blocks cause subnet issues?
Yes, overlapping IP ranges between subnets can prevent traffic routing and lead to address conflicts.

Do I need different subnets for public and private resources?
Yes. Public resources need subnets with internet gateway access, while private resources should reside in isolated subnets.

Can Informatix Systems fix my VPC without downtime?
Yes, we use a careful, phased approach to audit and correct configurations without impacting active workloads.
