I have a t2.small instance (1CPU, 2GB RAM) that has been running smoothly for 18 months (averaging 20% CPU usage; see graph below) but became unresponsive today. After some investigation I found that ssm-agent-worker was running at 100%. I've switched to a t2.medium (2CPU, 4GB RAM) so that if that happens again I'll have another CPU that can handle my workload, but I'd prefer not to double my costs just to handle an AWS bug (if that is what it is). Any advice?

My customer want to use our G5g ec2 instance for their auto-driving application dev/test. However their applications are designed to run on Nvidia Drive OS. Do you know if our EC2 instance (e.g. G5g) can support Nvidia Drive OS? If not support yet, is there other workaround to simulate Drive OS on AWS?
Thank you!
I created an instance from an image that I had created from a snapshot. The original image is t4g.large, however, when creating an instance from this image I was able to only create t3.large (the option for t4g.large was greyed out). The instance creation went fine but now I am not able to connect to my instance. Under the Status Check I see "Instance reachability check failed. Check failure at 2023/01/13 15:58 GMT+5:30 (10 minutes)" Availability zone is us-west-2d.
Any inputs on this would be highly appreciated.
Hello, I'm trying to transfer files from my local machine to my EC2 instance, AWS recommends that I create a SSH tunnel to do so, I have been trying for the past 2 days and I'm still getting errors with this, please help.

Good day,
yesterday from 22:00 on our server system_eHelper managed by LightSail in Frankfurt with a static address: ************ there was a server outage, which suddenly stopped responding and from the data we have, the RAM and hard disk are 90% full. Still, LightSail worked the whole time.
At the mentioned 22:00 yesterday time in the Czech Republic, there was an outage and the LightSail server stopped communicating.
We would like to ask you for information on how we should proceed now to get the system up and running again.
As soon as the system is operational, we will also increase the capacity of LightSail.
Since the emergency care system is running on this system, I would like to ask you to activate the HIGH AVAILIBITY mode. so that we know all possible outages.
thank you for your response,
Ondřej Teichmann
Hi,
I am new to use SSM alternative of SSH connection.
So, I am trying to create a permissions for users to be used when using SSM.
For example: I don't need all users to act as an (ec2-user), I need user to check the specific file only, or had a user without ability to reboot the services at instances.
Hi,
I'm working building a DR solution using Elastic Disaster Recovery to protect an on-premise server using Red Hat Linux 6.9, 32 core and 384 GB of RAM and I need to select a proper EC2 instances to host this server on AWS for recovery drill or disaster event.
Given the server size, I will be inclined to choose r5.12xlarge or r6i.12xlarge, but is RHEL 6 compatible with Nitro instances?
Thanks
Hi all. We've been trying to enter this user data in our template for our managed node groups on eks but the containerd-config.toml file is always the default setup by eks, does eks overwrite what we do or does the file not get edited? We have set a txt to display any error but that file isn't saved on the node either. Any idea what's happening?
#!/bin/bash
echo '[plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".registry.configs."PRIVATE-REGISTRY".tls]
insecure_skip_verify = true
[plugins."io.containerd.grpc.v1.cri".registry.mirrors."PRIVATE-REGISTRY"]
endpoint = ["PRIVATE-REGISTRY"]' | sudo tee -a /etc/containerd/config.toml 2>&1 | tee containerd.txt
sudo systemctl restart containerd
sudo containerd config dump | tee containerd.txt
Hi,
I am just looking to start using Bastion Host, in our infrastructure.
So, I am trying to find a way to limit user access when using SSH by Bastion Host.
For example, Can I use the Federate access (SSO with AAD) to let users access the Bastion Host, then assign them permissions/roles at the AWS?
Anyone can advise?
When following the install instructions for NICE dcv for RHEL 8 on my RHEL 9 instance, when trying to start the dcv service with:
systemctl start dcvserver
fails and a "systemctl status dcvserver" gives:

[sudo] password for builder:

Any ideas? I would really prefer to use dcv over xrdp to connect to these instances.
AMI is on us-gov-east-1 but is probably the same as:
"RHEL-9.0.0_HVM-20220513-x86_64-0-Hourly2-GP2" in other regions
I added the server GUI packages and the usual Nice dcv stuff. No "GL" stuff involved.
Hi, my website (kenniescompass.com) is down. And we got the following email from lightsail...
We have detected a degradation of the underlying hardware hosting your instance: kenniescompass.com (us-east-1) in your AWS Account with ID: 722687524582. Due to this degradation, we will have to perform necessary maintenance to the underlying hardware. Your instance may already be unreachable. Maintenance activity will result in your Lightsail instance stopping after Wed, 18 Jan 2023 20:00:00 GMT. After your instance is stopped, you can restart it at any time.
what does this mean? How do i fix it immediately to get my website back up and running?
Hi,
in my instances running AL2 i am using the EPEL repo to have access to especially on package (libmaxminddb). This package was now removed from EPEL because it was included in RHEL7.7. Are there any chances this package can find its way into the Amazon Linux 2 core repo as it did for CentOS7? Or do i have to install the package manually via rpm or self built?
Thx.
