Instance launch failed

0

I'm new to AWS.

I'm trying to launch an EC2 Mac Instance so I can access via VM.

  • I can't select t2 or t3 instances and I don't know why
  • I can only select mac1.metal with dedicated host and when I try to launch I get Instance launch failed: You do not have a host with a matching configuration and sufficient capacity. Either target a host resource group that can automatically allocate hosts on your behalf, or manually allocate a new host to your account and then try again.

What am I doing wrong? Is there any way to achieve what I want?

MAC instances are only supported on mac1.Metal and mac2.metal

Mac instances are available only as bare metal instances on Dedicated Hosts, with a minimum allocation period of 24 hours before you can release the Dedicated Host. You can launch one Mac instance per Dedicated Host. You can share the Dedicated Host with the AWS accounts or organizational units within your AWS organization, or the entire AWS organization.

How to launch a MAC ec2 is in the link provided.

  • Thanks for the fast reply.

    Just another question: this 24 hours allocation is for every time I start the instance? For example: I launch it once, I need to wait at least 24 hours to turn it off. If in a couple of days I start it again, do I need to wait another 24 hours?

    I would use only 1 to 2 hours when I turn the instance on. So paying for whole 24 hours each time might not be interesting for us.

  • According to the documentation, usually its per minute and you can stop at any time..

    On-Demand billing is automatically activated when you allocate a Dedicated Host to your account.

    The On-Demand price for a Dedicated Host varies by instance family and Region. You pay per second (with a minimum of 60 seconds) for active Dedicated Host, regardless of the quantity or the size of instances that you choose to launch on it. For more information about On-Demand pricing, see Amazon EC2 Dedicated Hosts On-Demand Pricing.

    You can release an On-Demand Dedicated Host at any time to stop accruing charges for it. For information about releasing a Dedicated Host, see Release Dedicated Hosts.

    However it seems with MAC, you pay for the host for 24 hours if your running the Mac or not

  • This information is correct -- I believe this is due to licensing on the proprietary platform.
