Hi TJ Contreras,
Thank you for reaching out with your question. We understand your concern about the initial explanation. You are correct that creating a new IPv4 subnet doesn’t truly solve the problem of IPv4 exhaustion or address future scalability. We apologize for the confusion. The correct solution, which aligns with the problem’s details, is to leverage the company’s existing IPv6-enabled infrastructure.
The correct answer is indeed Option 3: Set up a new IPv6-only subnet with a large CIDR range. Associate the new subnet with the VPC, then launch the instance. This is the most effective solution because it bypasses the IPv4 exhaustion issue entirely. By creating a subnet that only uses IPv6, you can deploy new resources without consuming any of the limited IPv4 addresses, providing a vast, scalable address space for future growth.
We have updated the answer, and the update will be live on the portal shortly.
If you have further questions, don’t hesitate to ask.
Best,
Irene @ Tutorials Dojo
