`awsx.ec2.Vpc` abstracts away the fact that naming a Subnet from AWS’s perspective is simply adding a tag with key `Name`

Ok thanks <@UTH0AMTQQ> so if I want to create manually a subnet and set its name I have to add a tag `Name` to it ?

It does seem like it would make sense to add that same convenience to `awsx.ec2.Subnet`. I’m not sure why that wasn’t done in the original design.

That’s correct — just add a tag with key `Name` with the value being the name you want

Here’s where `awsx.ec2.Vpc` does it: <https://github.com/pulumi/pulumi-awsx/blob/master/nodejs/awsx/ec2/vpc.ts#L160>

Ok thanks. That’s definitely unclear and hard to guess. I agree you should eventually add this convenience to `awsx.ec2.Subnet` (shouldn’t be hard to add I suppose)
