      Hi,

      I have a scenario of 1 public subnet (192.168.0.0/24) and 2 private subnets. Each private subnet named Finance (192.168.20.0/24) and Corporate (192.168.10.0/24). I'm using t2.large for the instance which should give me 4 available interfaces to the instance.
      I'm currently trying to create and attach 1 network interface each to Finance and Corporate. However in the launch instance steps, i can't add more than 2 (1 WAN + 1 LAN) interfaces. How can i add additional interfaces to the instance?

      Thank you!

        Create the instance then add them?

        DO NOT set a source address/port in a port forward or firewall rule unless you KNOW you need it!

          You can add the new interfaces after the instance is created. Not sure why they limit you during the creation.
          btw - What did you create that diagram with?
          I am a big Visio user but I am looking for another solution for quick designs.

            @dnickel It's draw.io It's pretty solid drawing app.

            @Derelict found the cause of error. Apparently my all my 3 subnets is in different AZs.

            Instance and Network Interface should sit in the same AZs to work.
