Hello,

If your EC2 instance disappeared after a manual restart:

1.Check the EC2 dashboard in the correct region to see if the instance is terminated or stopped.

2.Verify the current public IP address if the instance was stopped and started.

3.Utilize the EC2 Global View to identify the instance across regions.

If your instance was stopped and started its public IP address will have changed. Make sure you are trying to connect to its current IP address.

It's also worth checking you're looking in the correct AWS region. EC2 Global View will show all EC2 resources in all regions, and from here it should be possible to identify the EC2 instance https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2globalview/home
