Hi there.
Please forgive me if this question has been asked before. I was not able to find much help on this issue.
I'm trying to put Disaster Recovery in place for an EC2 instance running SLES 12.4 using AWS EDRS.
The replication was successful, however, when I try to run a recovery drill, the new AWS Elastic Disaster Recovery Conversion Server gets spun up and almost immediately gets Stopped and Terminated.
Please help. I would immensely appreciate any help. Thank you.

Hi Abhishek.
Thank you for your quick response.
I did mention the EC2 instance is running SLES 12.4 (Suse Linux Enterprise Server).
I have come across that thread before, but as mentioned, this instance is not running Windows.
My bad, I missed that. Do you have support plan, through which you can create support case, if yes, I'd encourage you to log a support case with AWS, they would definitely be able to help you out. In case you don't have support plan, can you give it another try in different region and see how it works does this behavior change.
Can you run the command for the newly spun up instance as below and see what response you get:
aws ec2 describe-instances --instance-id instance_id
This may give you some context/clue, why the instance is getting stopped and terminated.
Common reasons for such type of behavior in EC2 instances are:
EBS volume limits Root EBS Volume encryption, where KMS key access is missing
Also, take a look at cloudtrail event, that may also give you some clue.
Thank you for the effort and advice.
Open the CloudTrail console. Choose Event history. In the Lookup attributes dropdown list, choose Event name. Then enter TerminateInstances as an event name to view all instance termination API calls.
