I deleted my default VPC to start from scratch with a private network CIDR (10.10.10.0/24). After that I checked all ACL's and security-group settings to be open to the world. I also attached a new internet gateway to my VPC and my EC2 instance is also showing a public IP after launch.
The problem now is that I'm not able to access the public EC2 instance IP using SSH. I have no idea how to further process here, I checked the AWS documentations but with no success as everything seems to be in place as it has to be.
Can smb. please explain to me how to build a VPC from scratch. So that if I launch an EC2 instance within the VPC I can access the public IP of the ec2 instance using SSH
Thanks in advance
Based on the comments.
The issue was caused due to lack of correct route to internet gateway. The correct route should directed all connections to 0.0.0.0/0 into the gateway.
The solution was to provide correct route to the gateway.

I built a new vpc and subnet, in a region i havent used before. I added a linux ec2 instance and wanted to ssh to it, but the connection times out. I've been trying the same steps in another aws account, owned by the same company, and i get the same results.
I've tried adding my public ip to the security group, instead of all ips, no change.
The ec2 instance does get a public ip, but i just cant seem to connect to it. I even tried trusty telnet, just to see if the port was open, it is not.
When creating a new VPC using the "VPC and more" option, and the number of public subnets is not zero, an Internet Gateway will be automatically provisioned as part of the network:
If, however, you are manually creating the VPC and the subnet, then you will need to also add an Internet Gateway if you want the VPC to have Internet access.
Without an Internet Gateway, the VPC is guaranteed to be unreachable from the Internet. This is very useful when building private networks for internal use (eg development systems).
I have created a VPC and within I created a Subnet and a Internet Gateway (attached to the VPC). In that subnet, I created a Route Table in which I set route 0.0.0.0/0 to target the Internet Gateway.
After that I launched an EC2 instance in my subnet but it has no public IP so I can't connect to it using RDP.
I tried to enable 'DNS hostnames' and 'DNS resolution' but it didn't add a public IP to my instance (even after restarting it). In my subnet, I enabled 'Auto-assign IPv4' but still no public IP.
Any clue what I'm missing here please?
Your instances won't automatically get public IPs attached to their ENIs after you enable 'Auto-assign IPv4' in your subnet. One possible solution without spinning up a new EC2 is to attach an Elastic IP (as #Oleksii Donoha suggested in the comment) to this instance. You can follow the aws docs to allocate an Elastic IP address and then associate it with your running instance.
Side note: It's not possible to attach an ephemeral ip to an already-created ENI or EC2 instance. See discussions here.
Though your instance sits in public subnet, you have to make sure that 'Auto-assign Public IP' is either set to 'Enable' or 'Use subnet setting (Enable)'on Configure Instance Details page. Sometimes folks forget to check/reverify this setting while creating EC2 instances.
I am experimenting with CodeBuild but have reached a dead-end. My build always fails with the error message:
Build does not have internet connectivity. Please check subnet network configuration.
I checked the VPC configuration (subnet, security groups), and they seem okay. To test internet connectivity, I launched an EC2 instance in the same subnet, and it is able to communicate with external services (I tried a ping and some HTTP GETs).
How do I resolve this 'internet connectivity' issue?
When you are assigning the CodeBuild project to a subnet, it must be a private subnet with a NAT gateway that is connected to the internet gateway.
I had this same issue, but I was quite early in the project so I could tear it down and start again.
From the VPC Dashboard I used the 'Start VPC Wizard' button where I could select a template named 'VPC with Public and Private Subnets'. I still had to create the security groups and assign an elastic IP.
Once the new VPC was generated and configured I reconfigured my CodeBuild project to use the private subnet in the new VPC and the provisioning step succeeded.
I hope this helps.
CodeBuild builds require a NAT Gateway to reach the internet, because they do not get assigned a public IP address like an EC2 instance does in a public subnet. You can think of it like CodeBuild builds are always in a private subnet in your VPC:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_Scenario2.html
See this documentation for more troubleshooting steps, including a CloudFormation template for setting up a VPC with a NAT Gateway:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/codebuild/latest/userguide/vpc-support.html#troubleshooting
I created a VPC, added an internet gateway, added two subnets, and then launched an instance into that VPC. I created a security group that permits any traffic from anywhere and assigned it to that instance. I assigned to enable a public IP address (I didn't assign it an elastic ip).
I cannot for the life of me figure out why I cannot connect to public ip address of instance. I've literally gone back destroyed and created my vpc and instances with no luck.
There has got to be something simple I'm missing, it cannot be this difficult. What is going on??
You have created the internet gateway but must have forgot to attach the Internet Gateway to the Subnet in which you are launching the EC2 instances. Go to the subnet in which you have launched the EC2 instances and attach the Internet gateway to the subnet. When you check the route table for the subnet it should look some thing like this screenshot. That "igw" is the internet gateway.
Even you allowed all the traffic in Security group. we need to check the INTERNET GATEWAY added in the Route Tables
For that,
SERVICES > VPC > ROUTE TABLES and select your Route table
In the routes Tab after to summary,
Please check you have added your INTERNET GATEWAY
i following the steps mentioned in the "Scenario 1" tutorial of AWS VPC.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_Scenario1.html
Withing the public subnet if have an OpenSVN server which allows VPN connections to the VPC.
The server has a EIP assigned. There are no problems accessing the VPC via VPN.
If i add other EC2 instances to the VPC without a EIP the don't have access to the internet!
I have a internet gateway configured, and my route table only contains the net-local rule and the 0.0.0.0 -> internet-gateway one.
Any ideas what's missing?
If i attach an EIP to the instance, it works.
Thanks
Jens
During all the VPC tutorial testing i deleted my "default vpc".
Without the default VPC, the EC2 instances will not get a public IP.

https://serverfault.com/questions/509136/how-do-i-set-a-vpc-in-aws-to-default-vpc-true
I have to contact the amazon support.
Update: There is a (new?) option in the awscli which solve the problem --associate-public-ip-address
