[bug][il-central-1][ec2-connect] endpoint URL ec2-instance-connect.il-central-1.amazonaws.com cannot be resolved

0

Hello,

I could not find a place to report bugs without getting support...

I tried to use the new il-central-1 region, and found that the endpoint URL is not registered with DNS.

$ aws ec2-instance-connect send-ssh-public-key --region il-central-1 --availability-zone il-central-1b --instance-id i-057d7debb55347d4f --instance-os-user ubuntu --ssh-public-key file:///home/user1/.ssh/id_rsa.pub

Could not connect to the endpoint URL: "https://ec2-instance-connect.il-central-1.amazonaws.com/"

Unlike other endpoint URLs such as ec2-instance-connect.us-east-1.amazonaws.com, the ec2-instance-connect.il-central-1.amazonaws.com cannot be resolved.

Doesn't the ec2-connect feature has full coverage? What is the right channel to report this to AWS?

Thanks, Alon

Instance Connect isn't currently available in il-central-1.

Only in these regions https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-instance-connect-prerequisites.html#eic-prereqs-regions

  • Thank you! this is sad... a completely new region with partial features... we use it to securly set the SSH keys.

  • It's the way of things, every region starts off rather threadbare and slowly more features are added - look at what's available in Melbourne (2023) compared with Sydney (2012).

  • If features are optional in region aws could have provided better message than trying to access unregistered name (and intetionally unavailable service).

    Next time I will know what to look for. Is there somewhere a matrix of service availability that outlines what service is available in what region or should I seek each in different place?

  • Services available at launch are here https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/now-open-aws-israel-tel-aviv-region/

    It doesn't have the granularity to show which specific features of each service (e.g. Instance Connect within EC2).
