Instance reachability check failed

0

My instance reachability check is getting failed. I have tried all the steps that are suggested in the troubleshooting like reeboot, stop and restart the instance, detach and reattach the EBS volumes. Still I am facing the same issue. Its more than 20 hours and I could not find any resolution.

Hello.

Have you checked the OS system log?
Also, is it possible to restore EC2 from a snapshot?

Hi,

The simplest way to understand what's going is to use InstanceConnect (before trying ssh from your laptop)

So, follow this KC article to do it: https://repost.aws/knowledge-center/ec2-instance-connect-troubleshooting

Best,

Didier
