Ec2 instances issue

Question

Hello,

I have been experiencing an issue to create EC2 instances, since yesterday I recreated new linux instances more than 10 times and facing the same issue. After I create them the ssh connection on them cannot be established and times out. I have tried with different firewall settings, opening the ports, even used previous established VPC and firewalls that used to work like a few months ago but nothing. Is it maybe a zone issue or some DDOS on aws ? I literaly cannot create any instance that can be connected to in Tokyo Zone 1A since yesterday.

Answer

Hello.

If it is a timeout error, it is possible that SSH traffic is not allowed due to security group or network ACL settings.  
So, first try the troubleshooting methods in the document below.

Also, make sure that the route to the Internet gateway is set in the route table of the subnet where EC2 is running.  
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/WorkWithRouteTables.html#AddRemoveRoutes

Also check to see if your on-premises router is blocking SSH traffic.
