question: EC2 Instance: Blocked: This account is currently blocked and not recognized as a valid account?

Answer:

Reason-1 * If your AWS account is new, it will not create services in AWS through terraform because of "AWS" has not been fully verified by "AWS ACCOUNT". so that wait 48hrs after that you can try. 100% it will work.

Reason-2 * Your AWS account is limited to launch EC2 instance in only 3 regions as a free tier customer. you may need to use one of the suggested regions US-east(North virgina), US-ease(ohio), US-west(oregon).

I hope this helps you resolve the error. if you any other question, please feel free to ask me @Moopuri kiran kumar (AWS-DevOps-Engineer)

Hello, In which region you are trying to launch EC2 instance? As a new customer, you can launch Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instances in 3 AWS regions. We suggest you to use the regions US East (N. Virginia), US East (Ohio), US West (Oregon), but if you prefer other regions please contact us at aws-verification@amazon.com and let us know which 3 regions are more convenient for you. You can find the list of regions and which services are available in each of the regions at http://aws.amazon.com/about-aws/globalinfrastructure/regional-product-services/. Please make sure you are not running EC2 instances in the region you are transitioning from.

If you have a use case that requires you to run EC2 instances in more than 3 regions, please contact us at aws-verification@amazon.com describing your use case and we will increase the number of available regions.

This limitation is temporary and only affects EC2 – other AWS services are available in all regions.
