An engineer creates a custom VPC (10.50.0.0/16) and an Internet Gateway (IGW). They immediately try to attach the IGW to a newly created subnet (10.50.1.0/24). Why does the AWS Management Console/CLI throw an error?

Question

An IGW is attached to a VPC, not a subnet. To provide internet access to a subnet, configure its route table with 0.0.0.0/0 pointing to the IGW.

AWS throws an error because an IGW can only be attached to a VPC, not a subnet. Configure the subnet's route table to enable internet access.
