-_Three subnets_ – You must have at least three subnets, and they must span across three Availability Zones. For example, you might use three subnets that map to the Availability Zones us-east-1a, us-east-1b, and us-east-1c. An exception to this is the US West (N. California) Region. It requires three subnets, in the same manner as the other regions, but these must span across only two Availability Zones. A condition is that one of the Availability Zones spanned must contain two of the subnets.
