my ec2 instance simply disappeared

0

After using it and setting it up for a long time, and paying for it (I have been billed, too), my ec2 instance simply disapearred. It doesn't show up in terminated instances either. It simply isn't there, and no trace of it. All the security settings, the related s3, the database, and vpn settings are all in place, but the instance is simply gone!

  1. Make sure you check the correct AWS region for EC2 console
  2. Maybe you used Spot Instance and it was terminated by AWS. Terminated instances are shown only for some limited time in the console and later disappear
  3. You can check CloudTrail and find who/what terminated the instance https://docs.aws.amazon.com/awscloudtrail/latest/userguide/view-cloudtrail-events.html
