subnet

Gets or updates an individual subnet resource, use subnets to retrieve a list of resources or to create or delete a resource.

Overview

Namesubnet
TypeResource
DescriptionSpecifies a subnet for the specified VPC.<br/> For an IPv4 only subnet, specify an IPv4 CIDR block. If the VPC has an IPv6 CIDR block, you can create an IPv6 only subnet or a dual stack subnet instead. For an IPv6 only subnet, specify an IPv6 CIDR block. For a dual stack subnet, specify both an IPv4 CIDR block and an IPv6 CIDR block.<br/> For more information, see [Subnets for your VPC](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/configure-subnets.html) in the *Amazon VPC User Guide*.

Fields

NameDatatypeDescription
assign_ipv6_address_on_creationbooleanIndicates whether a network interface created in this subnet receives an IPv6 address. The default value is false.<br/> If you specify AssignIpv6AddressOnCreation, you must also specify an IPv6 CIDR block.
vpc_idstringThe ID of the VPC the subnet is in.<br/> If you update this property, you must also update the CidrBlock property.
map_public_ip_on_launchbooleanIndicates whether instances launched in this subnet receive a public IPv4 address. The default value is false.<br/> AWS charges for all public IPv4 addresses, including public IPv4 addresses associated with running instances and Elastic IP addresses. For more information, see the *Public IPv4 Address* tab on the [VPC pricing page](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/pricing/).
enable_lni_at_device_indexintegerIndicates the device position for local network interfaces in this subnet. For example, 1 indicates local network interfaces in this subnet are the secondary network interface (eth1).
network_acl_association_idstring
availability_zonestringThe Availability Zone of the subnet.<br/> If you update this property, you must also update the CidrBlock property.
availability_zone_idstringThe AZ ID of the subnet.
cidr_blockstringThe IPv4 CIDR block assigned to the subnet.<br/> If you update this property, we create a new subnet, and then delete the existing one.
subnet_idstring
ipv6_cidr_blocksarrayThe IPv6 network ranges for the subnet, in CIDR notation.
ipv6_cidr_blockstringThe IPv6 CIDR block.<br/> If you specify AssignIpv6AddressOnCreation, you must also specify an IPv6 CIDR block.
outpost_arnstringThe Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Outpost.
ipv6_nativebooleanIndicates whether this is an IPv6 only subnet. For more information, see [Subnet basics](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/VPC_Subnets.html#subnet-basics) in the *User Guide*.
enable_dns64booleanIndicates whether DNS queries made to the Amazon-provided DNS Resolver in this subnet should return synthetic IPv6 addresses for IPv4-only destinations. For more information, see [DNS64 and NAT64](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/vpc-nat-gateway.html#nat-gateway-nat64-dns64) in the *User Guide*.
private_dns_name_options_on_launchobjectThe hostname type for EC2 instances launched into this subnet and how DNS A and AAAA record queries to the instances should be handled. For more information, see [Amazon EC2 instance hostname types](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-naming.html) in the *User Guide*.<br/> Available options:<br/> + EnableResourceNameDnsAAAARecord (true | false)<br/> + EnableResourceNameDnsARecord (true | false)<br/> + HostnameType (ip-name | resource-name)
tagsarrayAny tags assigned to the subnet.
ipv4_ipam_pool_idstringAn IPv4 IPAM pool ID for the subnet.
ipv4_netmask_lengthintegerAn IPv4 netmask length for the subnet.
ipv6_ipam_pool_idstringAn IPv6 IPAM pool ID for the subnet.
ipv6_netmask_lengthintegerAn IPv6 netmask length for the subnet.
regionstringAWS region.
