Answer

Hi,

This seems to be a DNS error: your EC2 instance cannot access DNS servers to the resolve the name in questions to IP addresses.

2 possible main causes:
*  security group(s) or network ACLs barring access to DNS service (UDP 53)
* internet access to reach the DNS servers not possible: so, either a routing table, a NAT (+ Internet) gateway missing in your VPC.

Please, check those elements!

Best,

Didier
