LZA does not support EC2 Instance Connect Endpoint creation?

Question

Hi all

I'm using LZA - https://aws.amazon.com/solutions/implementations/landing-zone-accelerator-on-aws/ - to create VPCs. I want to create EC2 Instance Connect Endpoints as follows. But it does not work. I used the code repost agent answered in https://repost.aws/questions/QUfpHWEdTtS02eMYK8-M5NAA/how-can-i-create-vpc-endpoints-using-lza.

LZA does not support EC2 Instance Connect Endpoint? If supported, can you show me how to write the config file?

network-config.yaml

```
vpcs:
  - name: YourVPCName
    # ... other VPC configurations ...
    interfaceEndpoints:
      - service: ec2-instance-connect
```

Error message:

```
AWSAccelerator-NetworkVpcEndpointsStack-[account-ID]-us-gov-east-1 failed: Error: The stack named AWSAccelerator-NetworkVpcEndpointsStack-[account-ID]-us-gov-east-1 failed to deploy: UPDATE_ROLLBACK_COMPLETE: Resource handler returned message: "The Vpc Endpoint Service 'com.amazonaws.us-gov-east-1.ec2-instance-connect' does not exist.
```

Thanks.

Based on the information provided and the error message you received, it appears that EC2 Instance Connect Endpoint creation is not directly supported by the Landing Zone Accelerator (LZA) solution in the AWS GovCloud region you're using (us-gov-east-1).

The error message indicates that the VPC Endpoint Service for EC2 Instance Connect does not exist in the us-gov-east-1 region. This is because the service is not available in GovCloud.

EC2 Instance Connect Endpoints are a relatively new feature, and their availability can vary across different AWS regions and services like GovCloud.

For the most up-to-date information on service availability and support in GovCloud regions, it's recommended to check the AWS documentation or contact AWS support directly.
