Typical uses of a /19

A /19 gives 8,190 usable hosts. Teams running EKS with the VPC CNI often give each Availability Zone a /19 private subnet, because every pod takes a real VPC address.

The /19 boundary falls in the third octet, so /19 networks start every 32 in that octet (8 per /16): 0, 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224.

/19 in AWS, Azure and Google Cloud

PlatformAllowed subnet sizes/19 allowed?Usable after reservation
AWS VPC/16 to /28 Yes 8,187 (5 reserved)
Azure VNet/2 to /29 Yes 8,187 (5 reserved)
Google Cloud VPC/4 to /29 Yes 8,188 (4 reserved)

Cloud providers reserve addresses in every subnet (first four and the last address (network, VPC router, DNS, future use, broadcast) on AWS), so the usable count there differs from the classic 2^n - 2.
