Sign in to **AWS Management Console** as an **IAM User**

**Pre-requisite** - Ensure you have selected the AWS region closest to your location\
For this guide, we will be using us-east-2 (Ohio) as a preferred choice

Type **VPC** in the search bar and click on **VPC** to view the VPC Dashboard

The **VPC** dashboard page will open allowing us to explore various services like Subnets, Route tables, etc.

On the left bar click on **Subnets** to view the available subnets of the selected region (us-east-2)

On the Subnets dashboard, you can see the various subnets in the region, including their **Name**, **Subnet ID**, and **State**

To explore Subnets in a different Region, select the **Regions** dropdown from the top right corner of the page

Select **Asia Pacific (Mumbai) ap-south-1** as another region

The **Subnets** dashboard will show the various subnets for the **Asia Pacific (Mumbai)** region

Follow the same two steps mentioned earlier to see different subnets for the **Canada (Central)**, **Europe (London)**, and **South America (São Paulo)** regions

While navigating through various regions, you'll encounter distinct subnets tailored for each Region and its Availability Zones

Congratulations on completing this lab and Learning to Choose an Availability Zone for Your EC2 Instance! Good job!
