If I set up an AWS VPC with CIDR of 10.0.0.0/20 then the range is 10.0.0.0 to 10.0.15.255
I make a subnet now. Why does 10.0.15.15/28 give an error. Isn't it's range 10.0.15.15 to 10.0.15.30 which is within the VPC?

/28 is 16 addresses. 0-15, 16-31, etc. (0 and 15 -- all-zeros and all-ones addresses -- are reserved for network and broadcast)– RickyJan 8 at 2:20

Yes, but it's not a valid /28.
10.0.15.0/28 or 10.0.15.16/28 are valid ranges.

1A /28 subnet requires the lowest four bits - the host bits - to be all zero.– Zac67 ♦Jan 7 at 19:16
