I'm following this blog: https://aws.amazon.com/cn/blogs/aws/use-amazon-ec2-m1-mac-instances-to-build-test-macos-ios-ipados-tvos-and-watchos-apps/
but got such an error: The instance family 'mac2' is not supported.
Any suggestions are welcome, thanks!
Failed to connect to my instance EC2 Instance Connect is unable to connect to instance. I have an EC2 instance, now I can't connect to it using SSH service, and I can Ping to the Server IP and the System and status checked is passed also.

Hello,
I am unable to SSH into instances launched in AZ US-EAST-1. When I launch the instance in AWS and I SSH into the instance I get a connection lost error
Hello, I am a user who is working on the practice of migrating a shopping mall company to aws. Could you recommend a cost-effective EC2 instance type to build a server that 40 million customers can access at the same time?
I am thinking about the infrastructure of a shopping mall web server that uses four available areas in Seoul Region by utilizing Application Load Balancer and Auto Scaling.
Additionally, I am considering whether to use Application load balancer or Network load balancer when configuring the web server, so please recommend which load balancer is good.
Thank you.
Hello!
I am using AWS for the first time ever and got this email. I have an EC2 instance and using Amazon SES for transactional emails for my website. Not sure what exactly I need to do. Any help/direction would be much appreciated. I searched on re:Post but couldn't find a similar post.

Yesterday, my ec2 instance was working perfectly but today I can not ssh into it. I have rebooted, stopped and started my instance, then made sure I have the correct public dns when trying to ssh. I have also ensured that my security groups allow port 22 on my ip address. For debugging purposes, I allowed all IPs for my SSH and it still did not work.
error: `22: Operation timed out`
I tested SSH into my other instance and that seemed to work perfectly. I have not changed my VPC settings or my Subnet settings at all since creation so I am not sure how they would be causing this issue. Please help!
I was able to successfully start my game via Gamelift using the compute type "Managed EC2" and the corresponding build upload from my game (Windows 2012 R2).
Now I have tried it with Compute type "Anywhere" and followed this step by step guide: https://latam-es-resources.awscloud.com/aws-news-blog/introducing-amazon-gamelift-anywhere-run-your-game-servers-on-your-own-infrastructure
When I start my game server here on my hardware (laptop), the startup hangs when executing "Init SDK" and does not continue.
Btw: If I run GameLiftLocal on the laptop and then start the game server, the game server starts without problems.
I do not understand what is missing here.
Do I need to install anything else on the target hardware (laptop) for "Anywhere Fleet" or create any prerequisites?
I use a Windows 10 Pro laptop for "Anywhere Fleet".
New to AWS.
I have created an EC2 Windows 2016 Server with the below Security Inbound Rules:

Installed the IIS Server after logging using RDP.
Copied the Public DNS URL and pasted it in normal browser window and also in incognito tab.
Able to get the IIS Home page in Incognito Browser Tab but not in normal browser Window.
**Update**:
* Able to browse with the Elastic IP in normal browser window but not with the Public IPv4 DNS.
Could anyone suggest to me where I'm doing wrong?
I've created a new EBS volume, formatted as ext4 and mounted to a Ubuntu instance.
No significant read/write volumes, about 1% of the volume used, nothing special at all.
After 1 week, it has reported an I/O error and was made read-only.
The following details reported in the syslog:
_______________________________
end_request: I/O error, dev xvdf, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on device xvdf, logical block 0
lost page write due to I/O error on xvdf
EXT4-fs error (device xvdf): ext4_journal_start_sb:327: Detected aborted journal
EXT4-fs (xvdf): Remounting filesystem read-only
EXT4-fs (xvdf): previous I/O error to superblock detected
_______________________________
**This is a second time this happens over last 2 weeks.** The above volume has replaced an older volume with the same issue. The server has been in service for a few years with no such issues in the past. What might go wrong? What could I try?
Hi! We currently have 5 Elastic IPs. I am trying to request 1 additional Elastic IP to have a total of 6. However, I am confused as to what I should put in the "New limit value". I'm afraid that if I put "1", our EIP will be reduced to just 1. Or if I put "6", we will end up with a total of 11 EIP (5+6). Sorry for my ignorant question and thank you for answering. :)
Hi:
I had a snapshot of an old server. I needed to spin it back up. So I created an image from the snapshot, then created an EC2 instance from the image. Now Windows won't activate. The activation page in Windows does show the last 5-digits of Product Key 8XDDG, but says it cannot activate, providing Error code: 0xC004F074. It previously ran Windows Server 2016 Datacenter and still does, i.e. I just re-created the EC2 instance from image, I did not change Windows version.
More info. that might be helpful: I've followed the guide at https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/windows-activation-fails/ to activate manually. But in step 6, telnet to 169.254.169.250 fails and PowerShell command: Test-netconnection 169.254.169.250 -Port 1688 also fails. I've verified in step seven that the registry keys are correct for KeyManagementServiceName (169.254.169.250) and KeyManagementServicePort (1688). Telnet and Test-netconnection to .251 also fails. The Security Group assigned to the instance has the default Outbound rule that allows everything.
Thank you!
Hi. We're running four T3 instances in two Availability Zones in the Asia Pacific (Sydney) region.
The AWS docmentation on instance types (https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/instance-types/) states that the CPUs for T3 instances will be "Up to 3.1 GHz Intel Xeon Scalable processor (Skylake 8175M or Cascade Lake 8259CL)".
Our t3.small and two t3.micro instances have the Cascade Lake 8259CL processor. Our t3.2xlarge instance - which does most of our work - has a Skylake 8175M processor.
From my simple benchmark tests it looks like the Cascade Lake 8259CL processor is something like 2-3 times faster than the Skylake 8175M processor. I'd dearly love the T3.2xlarge instance to acquire the Cascade Lake 8259CL processor; the performance benefit for our application would be terrific!
What determines the selection of processor type for T3 instances? How can I endeavour to have our t3.2xlarge instance to procure the faster processor? Thanks for any help!
