I created a VPC and an EBS app. Here is how the EBS app is configured:
VPC: set to the VPC I created
Load balancer visibility: I set this to public
Load balancer subnets: two public subnets in the VPC
Public IP address: I did not assign a public IP address for the instance
Instance subnets: two private subnets in the VPC
Route table for both public subnets:
Route table for both private subnets:
Security group for the load balancer:
Please let me know if you need any more information! Thank you!
Based on the comments.
The issue was caused by incorrect security groups for ALB. Adjusting the group to allow internet traffic solved the issue.
Here is what the security group should have in it:

I am trying to reach two private subnet EC2 instances from ELB in public subnet. But the instances are always showing as unhealthy. I tried lot of options but nothing worked.
Here is the configuration I tried:
1.Created VPC
DNS resolution: Enabled
DNS hostnames: Disabled
Created 2 Public subnets and 2 Private Subnets. The only difference between these two is the Route table.
Auto-assign public IPv4 address is set to "No" in Public Subnet
I have added Internet gateway as a route in Route table of public subnet.
Public subnet - Route Table
Private subnet - Route table
Created Two EC2 instances in Private subnet . Userdata set to apache webserver
The Security group of the instances
Created an ALB in Public subnet
ALB Security group config is :
Have also added default security group in ALB:
Target group is showing unhealthy for the private EC2 instances
Any help on pointing out why this fails?
Either the EC2 instances are not receiving the request, or they are receiving the request but aren't responding with a 'healthy' response.
Test that the instances are responding to requests
You could launch an EC2 instance in the public subnet, SSH to it and then send requests directly to the EC2 instances to see if they respond (eg curl http://private-ip-address).
If they respond correctly, then the instances themselves are fine and the problem lies with the Load Balancer.
Check the Load Balancer security group
You have shown the Inbound rules for the Load Balancer, but you should also check that the Outbound rules permit traffic to exit the Load Balancer and go to the EC2 instances.
First and foremost - check the apache logs and make sure you see incoming health check samples.
If you don't see them at all - you have a network connectivity issue.
If you do see them - make sure they return 200 code and that it matches the target group's health check configuration.
I'm trying to configure a VPC environment where the ec2 instance in the private subnet has access to S3, but I've been having trouble getting it to work. If anyone can offer some guidance it would help a lot. Here's my VPC setup with 1 private and 1 public subnets:
VPC: CIDR 20.0.0.0/24 with DNS hostnames and DNS resolution enabled
Public Subnet: CIDR 20.0.0.0/28 with Route Table
20.0.0.0/24 local
0.0.0.0/0 igw-0e9c938ccf95c7365
Private Subnet: CIDR 20.0.0.32/28 with Route Table
20.0.0.0/24 local
Each subnet has 1 ec-2 instance with roles assigned giving full S3 access. My endpoint is created with the service "com.amazonaws.us-east-1.s3" on my private subnet and the security group attached is default VPC security group.
When I try calling aws s3api list-buckets, I get a connection timeout. It works if I attach attach a NAT gateway to the route table, so it seems like it's not able to connect to the endpoint. Is my configuration wrong?
I am trying to expose a service to the outside world using the loadBalancer type service.
For that, i have followed this doc
https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/eks-kubernetes-services-cluster/
My loadbalancer.yaml looks like this
apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
name: nginx-service
spec:
type: LoadBalancer
selector:
app: nginx
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 80
targetPort: 80
But the load balancer is not creating as expected I am getting the following error
Warning SyncLoadBalancerFailed 8s (x3 over 23s) service-controller Error syncing load balancer: failed to ensure load balancer: could not find any suitable subnets for creating the ELB
Seems like its because of some issues in the subnet tags to solve,but i have the required tags in my subnets
kubernetes.io/cluster/<cluster-name>. owned
kubernetes.io/role/elb 1
But still, I am getting the error could not find any suitable subnets for creating the ELB
By default AWS EKS only attaches load balancers to public subnets. In order to launch it in a private subnet you need to not only label your subnets (which it looks like you did) but also annotate your load balancer-
service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-internal: "true"
You can find more information here.
For people that may reach this question, I have faced the same error, but the problem was really simple.
The tag with key kubernetes.io/cluster/<cluster-name> had the wrong cluster name as the automation that deployed it was wrong.
In EKS 1.16, I need internet-facing NLB.
The root cause in EKS is that you haven't selected a public subnet while creating the cluster.
After creating the cluster EKS will not allow to update subnets as of now here
To resolve the issue, I have performed the below steps
created a public subnet in the same vpc of EKS
Attached IGW in route tables in new created public subnets
Added below tags in public subnets
kubernetes.io/cluster/<EKSClusterName> : shared
Note: In a 4th step, Replace your EKS cluster name in placeholder EKSClusterName
Resolution This has resolved my issue.
To identify a cluster's subnets, the Kubernetes Cloud Controller
Manager (cloud-controller-manager) and AWS Load Balancer Controller
(aws-load-balancer-controller) query that cluster's subnets by using
the following tag as a filter:
Choose the appropriate option for tagging your subnets:
For public and private subnets used by load balancer resources
Tag all public and private subnets that your cluster uses for load balancer resources with the following key-value pair:
Key: kubernetes.io/cluster/cluster-name Value: shared
The cluster-name value is for your Amazon EKS cluster. The shared value allows more than one cluster to use the subnet.
For private subnets used by internal load balancers
To allow Kubernetes to use your private subnets for internal load balancers, tag all private subnets in your VPC with the following key-value pair:
Key: kubernetes.io/role/internal-elb Value: 1
For public subnets used by external load balancers
To allow Kubernetes to use only tagged subnets for external load balancers, tag all public subnets in your VPC with the following key-value pair:
Key: kubernetes.io/role/elb Value: 1
Note: Use the preceding tag instead of using a public subnet in each Availability Zone.
reference: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/eks-vpc-subnet-discovery/
Possibly your subnet is not a public one, i.e. accessible from the internet. This will be required for your Loadbalancer to accept traffic from the outside world. In order to make it public, you need to attach an Internet Gateway to your VPC. Check here for more documentation.
Additional to Robert' answer, you can use the following kubectl command for annotating a service;
kubectl annotate svc <service-name> service.beta.kubernetes.io/aws-load-balancer-internal="true"
Any help would be much appreciated!
Initially we had 3 subnets in our AWS VPC. The VPC has an IGW and one default route table with 2 routes - 1 for internal and 0.0.0.0/0 to IGW. A standard initial VPC setup.
Within the VPC we have an RDS instance, with an RDS proxy, and the DB is set for public access while we develop the solution. The DB is associated with the default VPC SG along with a specific SG that whitelists IP addresses for DB connectivity via the public endpoint.
Also within the VPC we have a Lambda that is using the default VPC security group and the 3 subnets mentioned above.
The Lambda can connect to the RDS proxy, and we can connect to the RDS public endpoint via a whitelisted IP - This is as expected.
The Issue:
Now we need to provide the Lambda with internet access (it needs to connect with RedisLabs). To do this we've added:
A public subnet (subnet-00245f33edbae3358)
A NAT on the public subnet
Created a route table associated with the existing 3 private subnets (subnet-06d1124e, subnet-ba82bce1, subnet-3344b955) with a route of 0.0.0.0/0 -> NAT
Created a route table associated with the new public subnet (subnet-00245f33edbae3358) with a route of 0.0.0.0/0 -> IGW
With this is place the Lambda can still access the DB via the RDS proxy (expected) and can now access the internet (expected), BUT we lose connection to the DB via the public facing endpoint.
Is there something missing in the configuration that will allow Lambda access to the RDS and internet AND will also allow us access to RDS via the public endpoint? OR do we need an SSH tunnel within the public subnet to do this?
Thanks in advance!
Additional Info:
The RDS currently has the following SG's:
- prod-auth-service-rds - allows TCP 3306 from my whitelisted IP
- sg-11cb746b (default) - All traffic with, self referencing source (sg-11cb746b)
The RDS is on subnets:
- subnet-06d1124e - existing private subnet
- subnet-ba82bce1 - existing private subnet
- subnet-3344b955 - existing private subnet
The NAT is on subnet subnet-00245f33edbae3358
EDIT: Reread your response, if your RDS DB is on private subnets, then it can’t be publicly accessible regardless of of what you set as that option in the DB’s settings.
——-
After looking at the additional info, I believe the problem is your security group for the RDS. It only allows traffic from things in your default security group or your personal whitelisted IP.
Even though the lambda is in your default security group, RDS does see traffic as coming from your Lambda, they see it as coming from the NAT Gataway which doesn’t have and security groups.
You can solve this by adding the EIP of your NAT Gateway as an additional whitelisted IP to your inbound rules of the RDS SG.
It turns out that all I needed to do was create the Lambda in a private subnet(s) separate to the existing RDS subnets. The separate subnet(s) then need a route that forwards 0.0.0.0/0 to NAT.
The Lambda now has outbout internet access and RDS access, while the RDS instance can still be reached via its existing public endpoint.
I'm putting the instances behind the aws loadbalancer, I have configured the routable and attached the IGW to it, created the loadbalancer and added this instance to the aws loadbalancer every things work well, the endpoint URL of the AWS loadbalancer able to load the HTTP pages
Now i have removed the IGW from the route table and tested it again, the AWS loadbalalncer endpoint URL not able to load the page, but the instace status shows in AWS loadbalancer as inService
Why the IGW is required when loadbalancer is configured over private subnet, it technically Mean it's a public subnet, which is blocking me to create a NAT inatance
A subnet without a default route pointing to the igw-xxxxxxxx Internet Gateway object is, by definition, a private subnet. If you remove the igw from a public subnet, you now have a private subnet.
Placing an Internet-facing load balancer (ELB) in such a private subnet is incorrect.
It sounds as though you are making a commonly-made -- but incorrect -- assumption that the ELB should be configured in the same subnets as the instances behind it. This is also incorrect.
Provision the ELB in public subnets, without regard to the subnets the instances behind it were placed in.
In summary:
Internet-facing ELB requires a public subnet for placement.
NAT instance requires a public subnet for placement.
The instances that use these services (NAT and ELB) belong in different -- private -- subnets, different subnets than the ELB and NAT instances.
ELB and NAT can be placed together in the same subnets, or separately, as long as the subnets are public (have the IGW as their default route) and are in the same availability zones.
I believe you cannot do anything without the IGW attached to the routing table where the subnet is attached to.
Another way to do this is to spin off a NAT instance(can be found in AWS marketplace) in the public subnet, add it to your private route table where your original instance is on (0.0.0.0/0 - instanceid) all the traffic will be routed through the NAT instance.
Here mainly we have to see two things, provided subnet for the elasticloadbalancer is public or private.
Every VPC should have one IGW to connect to the public, every trafic should go through the IGW only. If VPC connected to the IGW, IGW distribute internet to the all instance which are in that VPC, if route table changed to the particular rt, internet traffic can send to only that instance. Here in ELB instance is in service because both are in the same VPC and can communicate each other means checks the status. This IGW will work main role when we are using the NAT.
Always we provide ip range for the IGW or rt as 0.0.0.0/0, it represents as public.
The following link will explain more : http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_Scenario2.html
This small explanation might be helpful for someone.
Let me cover your two questions
the AWS loadbalalncer endpoint URL not able to load the page, but the instace status shows in AWS loadbalancer as inService
This is the default behaviour of load balancer , since internally load balancer and your instance may be in the same VPC so they are able to communicate that is why loadbalancer is showing inService status.
Second question Why the IGW is required when loadbalancer is configured over private subnet, it technically Mean it's a public subnet, which is blocking me to create a NAT inatance
You need IGW if you want to access any resources especially EC2 , Loadbalancer from internet. however if you put your load balancer in private subnet it means IGW is not associated with the subnet having loadbalancer in it and hence this load balancer is not accessible outside your VPC that is reason that you were not able to load your page.
NAT instance is usually used when you want your private subnet instances should be able to initiate request over internet and has nothing to do with normal load balancing setup unless and untill you want dont want to install any updates from internet to your instance.
You are trying to access webpage publicly and removing the route entry IGW from the loadbalncer subnet.
The Subnet without IGW will become Private, Hence you can't access it.
First, a subnet with route table that route traffic via the internet gateway (IGW) is a public subnet. An IGW is required because the subnets created in AWS VPC are internal IPs and as internal IPs are not routable via the internet, traffic to and fro EC2 instances that belongs to an internal IP needs a way to complete these request. This is where an IGW comes into play. The IGW allows your EC2 instance to make outbound request to the internet and allows other user/client to make inbound request to your ec2 instance.
A public subnet are group of IPs (called subnets) in your VPC that allows internet traffic to and fro your ec2 instance. A subnet without an Internet gateway is a private subnet. As you already guess no traffic is allowed in or out.
That said, instances in VPC which are in Private subnet still need to initiate an outbound request to the internet to download software or perform update. In this case you have to create and attach a NAT gateway or NAT instance to the private subnet. NAT Gateway and NAT instance only allow outbound traffic to the internet but not the the other way round. In some cases you might want your production EC2 to be in the private subnet and ELB in public subnet for security reason.
ELB usually belong to the public subnet so it reachable from the internet as is your case as well.
TO answer some of your question - when you deleted the IGW from the route table, your ELB automatically becomes a private subnet as such your web page stops loading.
Also, you could still see the ec2 instance behind the ELB as InService even when you deleted the IGW because the ELB and EC2 instance can communicate via the internal IP as they are in same network or VPC.
The ELB needs a route to the internet in order to send you the response over internet.. As simple as that.
Configure your ELB in public subnet, regardless of where your instances are present.
Basically there are two types of load balancers.
1)Internal
2) External
Internal load balancers are those which are launched in a private subnet which will be accessible only internally by the instances on same vpc of the internal elb
External load balancers are which are accessible over the internet which should be launched in a subnet which has internet gateway attached to it and which has route table configured properly to route the requests.
If you attach an internet gateway to a subnet it becomes a public subnet.Also if you create a load-balancer which you need to be accessible from internet it should be a External load balancer and aws will not allow it launch in a private subnet.The instances are showing in service because its communicating internally using private ip-address.
