Answer

Hi, this is Abhi from AWS. If you have ensure that the instance in question has a public IP address, is in a public subnet, and in a subnet with a default route via IGW, I would recommend reviewing this [post](https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/ec2-connect-internet-gateway) to troubleshoot connectivity issues.

Answer

Thanks Abhi, i figured the instance did not have a EIP or public ip , afetr adding one , we are able to communicate.
