Modify Public Subnet

Configure Auto-assign Public IP for Public Subnets

ℹ️ Objective

  • Enable the feature to automatically assign a Public IP address to EC2 instances launched in the Public Subnets.
  • This is a mandatory step so that we can access and configure the initial server from the Internet via SSH.

🔒 Steps to Follow

1. Access the Subnet Management Page

  • From the VPC Dashboard interface, select Subnets from the left menu to view the list of all subnets belonging to your ors-vpc.

2. Edit the First Public Subnet

  • Identify and select one of the two created Public Subnets (e.g., ors-vpc-subnet-public1-ap-southeast-1a).
  • Click the Actions button and select Edit subnet settings.

Select Edit subnet settings

3. Enable the Auto-assign IP Feature

  • On the Edit subnet settings page, find the Auto-assign IP settings section.
  • Check the box for Enable auto-assign public IPv4 address.
  • Scroll down and click Save to apply the changes.

Enable the Auto-assign Public IP feature

When this feature is enabled, any EC2 instance launched in this subnet will automatically receive a public IP address, allowing it to communicate with the Internet.

4. Repeat for the Remaining Public Subnet

  • Repeat steps 2 and 3 for the second Public Subnet (e.g., ors-vpc-subnet-public2-ap-southeast-1b).
  • This ensures that our system can operate uniformly across both Availability Zones, maintaining high availability.
