Hello.

As per the error, you may need to review the network settings.
Does the EC2 security group allow SSH with inbound rules?
Also, is the subnet where EC2 is launched configured as a public subnet?

My instance does have a public IP.

How do I check which AMI I am using (apologies, I am a beginner).

Might also be worth noting. This used to work, but it no longer does.
