I've set up an AWS App Runner service, which works fine. Currently for networking it's configured as public access, but I'd like to change this to a VPC so that I can connect the service to an RDS instance without having to open the database up to the world.
When I change the networking config to use my default security group, the service is unable to access the Internet. Cloning a git repo from Bitbucket brings up the error: ssh: Could not resolve hostname bitbucket.org: Try again
... and trying to run npm install brings up:
npm ERR! network request to https://registry.npmjs.org/gulp failed, reason: connect ETIMEDOUT 104.16.24.35:443
My security group has an outgoing rule allowing all traffic out to any destination. My RDS instance is in the same VPC/security group and I'm able to connect to this without issue (currently I've opened up port 3306 to the world). Everything else I've read from a bunch of Googling seems fine: route tables, internet gateways, firewall rules, etc.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Probably too late to be really helpful but moving the App Runner to a VPC sends all outgoing traffic to the VPC.
The two options given in the docs are
Adding NAT gateways to each VPC
Setting up VPC endpoints

When I try to update EC2 Amazon Linux instance, I get following error:
Loaded plugins: extras_suggestions, langpacks, priorities, update-motd
Could not retrieve mirrorlist http://amazonlinux.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com/2/core /latest/x86_64/mirror.list error was

One of the configured repositories failed (Unknown),
and yum doesn't have enough cached data to continue. At this point the only
safe thing yum can do is fail. There are a few ways to work "fix" this:
1. Contact the upstream for the repository and get them to fix the problem.
2. Reconfigure the baseurl/etc. for the repository, to point to a working
upstream. This is most often useful if you are using a newer
distribution release than is supported by the repository (and the
packages for the previous distribution release still work).
3. Run the command with the repository temporarily disabled
yum --disablerepo=<repoid> ...
4. Disable the repository permanently, so yum won't use it by default. Yum
will then just ignore the repository until you permanently enable it
again or use --enablerepo for temporary usage:
yum-config-manager --disable <repoid>
or
subscription-manager repos --disable=<repoid>
5. Configure the failing repository to be skipped, if it is unavailable.
Note that yum will try to contact the repo. when it runs most commands,
so will have to try and fail each time (and thus. yum will be be much
slower). If it is a very temporary problem though, this is often a nice
compromise:
yum-config-manager --save --setopt=<repoid>.skip_if_unavailable=true
Cannot find a valid baseurl for repo: amzn2-core/2/x86_64
Any help would be much appreciated.
Your instance does not have access to internet.
You can resolve this in following ways:
If your instance is running in a public subnet make sure it has a public ip attached. Also check if the route table for the public subnet is associated with this subnet and has a route 0.0.0.0/0 pointing to internet gateway.
If you are running your instance in private make sure you have created the NAT Gateway in a public subnet. Check the route table has a route 0.0.0.0/0 pointing to NAT and the subnet is associated with the private route table.
Check if the security group associated with instance has outbound traffic enabled.
You are probably in a private subnet (ie a subnet without a 0.0.0.0/0 route to the outside world).
If you want to connect to the outside world, you need a NAT gatway in a public subnet, which has a route to an Internet Gateway.
EC2 -> NAT -> IGW
This is the best AWS troubleshooting page I've found (early 2021)
If you don't want to connect to the outside world, you need a VPC endpoint which allows connectivity to specific AWS services from a private subnet. I have never got this to work.
Verify that the security group attached to the instance is allowing all inbound and outbound connections.
I don't know what specific network protocol is needed for these updates, but public SSH, HTTP, and HTTPS weren't enough for me. So I simply allowed all traffic for a brief time to run the updates.
(I'm guessing it might have simply needed an FTP port open, but I didn't experiment long enough to find out. Feel free to edit this answer if you know specifically which ports are needed for yum updates on EC2 instances.)
If you have an S3 endpoint on your subnet route table then this will cause yum to fail. To fix this please try to add the following policy to the S3 endpoint:
{
"Statement": [
{
"Sid": "Amazon Linux AMI Repository Access",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": [
"s3:GetObject"
],
"Effect": "Allow",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::packages.*.amazonaws.com/*",
"arn:aws:s3:::repo.*.amazonaws.com/*"
]
}
]
}
im trying to setUp a NAT Gateway for Kubernetes Nodes on the GKE/GCE.
I followed the instructions on the Tutorial (https://cloud.google.com/vpc/docs/special-configurations chapter: "Configure an instance as a NAT gateway") and also tried the tutorial with terraform (https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/terraform-google-nat-gateway)
But at both Tutorials (even on new created google-projects) i get the same two errors:
The NAT isn't working at all. Traffic still outgoing over nodes.
I can't ssh into my gke-nodes -> timeout. I already tried setting up a rule with priority 100 that allows all tcp:22 traffic.
As soon as i tag the gke-node-instances, so that the configured route applies to them, the SSH connection is no longer possible.
You've already found the solution to the first problem: tag the nodes with the correct tag, or manually create a route targeting the instance group that is managing your GKE nodes.
Regarding the SSH issue:
This is answered under "Caveats" in the README for the NAT Gateway for GKE example in the terraform tutorial repo you linked (reproduced here to comply with StackOverflow rules).
The web console mentioned below uses the same ssh mechanism as kubectl exec internally. The short version is that as of time of posting it's not possible to both route all egress traffic through a NAT gateway and use kubectl exec to interact with pods running on a cluster.
Update # 2018-09-25:
There is a workaround available if you only need to route specific traffic through the NAT gateway, for example, if you have a third party whose service requires whitelisting your IP address in their firewall.
Note that this workaround requires strong alerting and monitoring on your part as things will break if your vendor's public IP changes.
If you specify a strict destination IP range when creating your Route in GCP then only traffic bound for those addresses will be routed through the NAT Gateway. In our case we have several routes defined in our VPC network routing table, one for each of our vendor's public IP addresses.
In this case the various kubectl commands including exec and logs will continue to work as expected.
A potential workaround is to use the command in the snippet below to connect to a node and use docker exec on the node to enter a container. This of course means you will need to first locate the node your pod is running on before jumping through the gateway onto the node and running docker exec.
Caveats
The web console SSH will no longer work, you have to jump through the NAT gateway machine to SSH into a GKE node:
eval ssh-agent $SHELL
ssh-add ~/.ssh/google_compute_engine
CLUSTER_NAME=dev
REGION=us-central1
gcloud compute ssh $(gcloud compute instances list --filter=name~nat-gateway-${REGION} --uri) --ssh-flag="-A" -- ssh $(gcloud compute instances list --filter=name~gke-${CLUSTER_NAME}- --limit=1 --format='value(name)') -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no
Source: https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/terraform-google-nat-gateway/tree/master/examples/gke-nat-gateway
You can use kubeip in order to assign IP addresses

I'm attempting to run a webserver that uses an RDS database with EC2 inside a docker container.
I've setup the security groups so the EC2 host's role is allowed to access the RDS and if I try to access it from the host machine directly everything works correctly.
However, when I run a simple container on the host and attempt to access the RDS, it get's blocked as if the security group weren't letting it through. After a bunch of trial and error it seemed that indeed the containers requests aren't appearing to come from the EC2 host so the firewall says no.
I was able to work around this in the short-run by setting --net=host on the docker container, however this breaks a lot of great docker networking functionality like being able to map ports (ie, now I need to make sure each instance of the container listens on a different port by hand).
Has anyone found a way around this? It seems like a pretty big limitation to running containers in AWS if you're actually using any AWS resources.
Yes, containers do hit the public IPs of RDS. But you do not need to tune low-level Docker options to allow your containers to talk to RDS. The ECS cluster and the RDS instance have to be in the same VPC and then access can be configured through security groups. The easiest way to do this is to:
Navigate to the RDS instances page
Select the DB instance and drill in to see details
Click on the security group id
Navigate over to the Inbound tab and choose Edit
And ensure there is a rule of type MySQL/Aurora with source Custom
When entering the custom source, just start typing in the name of the ECS cluster and the security group name will be auto-completed for you
This tutorial has screenshots that illustrate where to go.
Full disclosure: This tutorial features containers from Bitnami and I work for Bitnami. However the thoughts expressed here are my own and not the opinion of Bitnami.
Figured out what was happening, posting here in case it helps anyone else.
Requests from within the container were hitting the public ip of the RDS rather than the private (which is how the security groups work). It looks like the DNS inside the docker container was using the 8.8.8.8 google dns and that wouldn't do the AWS black magic of turning the rds endpoint into the private ip.
So for instance:
DOCKER_OPTS="--dns 10.0.0.2 -H tcp://127.0.0.1:4243 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock -g /mnt/docker"
The inbound rule for the RDS should be set to the private IP of the EC2 instance rather than the public IPv4.
As #adamneilson mentions, setting the Docker options are your best bet. Here is how to discover your Amazon DNS server on the VPC. Also the section Enabling Docker Debug Output in the Amazon EC2 Container Service Developer Guide Troubleshooting mentions where the Docker options file is.
Assuming you are running a VPC block of 10.0.0.0/24 the DNS would be 10.0.0.2.
For CentOS, Red Hat and Amazon:
sed -i -r 's/(^OPTIONS=\")/\1--dns 10.0.0.2 /g' /etc/sysconfig/docker
For Ubuntu and Debian:
sed -i -r 's/(^OPTIONS=\")/\1--dns 10.0.0.2 /g' /etc/default/docker
When I tried to connect to AWS RDS in inside of docker container, I got "Access denied for user 'username'#'xxx.xx.xxx.x' (using password: YES)" error.
To solve this issue, I did below two ways:
I created new user and assigned grant.
$ CREATE USER 'newuser'#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
$ GRANT ALL ON newuser#'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
$ FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
Added global DNS address 8.8.8.8 into docker container when run docker, so that the docker container can resolve IP address of AWS RDS from domain name.
$ docker run --name backend-app --dns=8.8.8.8 -p 8000:8000 -d backend-app
Then I connected from inside of docker container to AWS RDS, successfully.
Note: Firstly, I tried second way. But I didn't solve the connection problem. When I tried both two ways, I was success.
I am using Amazon's tutorial for installing a LAMP server. The first several instructions involve using yum, but every single way I have tried to do it has resulted in the same message. I have found a few other recent questions about the same issue, none of which change anything on my setup.
Here is the message:

I have done this same thing before without running into any problems, using the same tutorial, but it was several months ago. I don't know what has changed but my meager experience is keeping me from figuring it out.
Looks like the host is having trouble contacting the yum server. Make sure the instance has outbound internet access (check security groups etc). If the instance is in a VPC and the security groups look good you may need to use a nat appliance or attach an elastic IP.
Good luck-
If you have an S3 endpoint on your VPC then this will cause yum to fail as repo file is stored in S3. To fix this add the following policy to S3 VPC endpoint:
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": "*",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::repo.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com",
"arn:aws:s3:::repo.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/*"
]
}
]
}
Replace eu-west-1 with the relevant region code that your S3 endpoint is in.
A lot of first time users of Amazon EC2 run into this issue. In my experience, it's usually the result of not setting the allowed outgoing connections on their instance's security group. The tutorial that Amazon has for configuring Amazon Linux instances only mentions setting the Incoming connections so it's easy to forget that you never set the allowed outgoing ones. Simply allowing HTTP and HTTPS requests to any IP Address should fix the issue.
I have the same problem and was related to name resolution. I used the following to correct:
EC2 instance has no public DNS
This is the good explanation from Mat:
Go to console.aws.amazon.com
Go To Services -> VPC
Open Your VPCs
select your VPC connected to your EC2 and
Edit Summary ---> Change DNS hostnames: to YES
If you're using NACL on the subnet were the EC2 is located.
Quick fix
You will have to open inbound Ephemeral ports for this yum update.
For example adding the #100 inbound rule below:
Notice that this is still necessary even if the outbound rules allow all traffic:
Why did have to do this?
When yum opens an outbound connection on ports like 80/443 it comes back at a random high port (Ephemeral port).
Network ACLs are stateless (not like Security groups) and will not allow returned connection on the same port by default.
You can read more in here.
Check if your outbound entries are deleted/modified from assigned Security group. Normally Outbound entries are set to "All traffic" and allow any IP.
In my case, outbound was deleted. I again set to "All traffic" and it works.
just assign the default security group along with the one you may have created. This solved my problem. ;)
I had the same problem and the way I solved it, was by allowing inbound traffic for the HTTPS protocol port 443 on the security group of your NAT instance. Most of the repositories use HTTPS protocol. Make sure you haven't missed this.
I had the same problem, turns out another sysadmin decided to route outbound internet traffic through a proxy. I found this by noticing some wearied proxy env settings, dug a little deeper, and then noticed an entry in my /etc/yum.conf file.
Commented out the proxy= line and all worked again.

With chadneal's comment.
It is necessary to set the DNS Resolution to Yes.
Go to console.aws.amazon.com
Go To Services -> VPC
Open Your VPCs
Select your VPC connected to your EC2
Click Edit DNS Resolution and set it Yes
I was getting the same exact error message for yum as described in the question. In my case I had a NACL that allowed all outgoing traffic but restricted incoming traffic to HTTP/HTTPS, SSH and All ICMP. Since NACLS are stateless attempting to run yum failed as incoming ephemeral connections that yum uses were not explicitly allowed and were therefore dropped.

Same error I was also having from last week tried almost everything but not able to install server and start httpd service.
Resolved it by just allowing all traffic IN/OUT to and From Security Group and NACL... try it it will be resolved defiantly.
Check internet connectivity on your EC2 instance by pinging
ping google.com
You will get response by if you have working internet there.
If not then go to etc/resolv.conf file and add below lines in that file:
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 1.1.1.1
nameserver 1.0.0.1
Now check if internet is working.
If yes, you can easily resume you work!!!!
Also, if you are unable to get any DNS working, check your DHCP options set. I had left an old one in place, and when I cleaned up a project involving active directory integrations, it broke. The answer is simply to change back to the original/saved options.
The problem can occur at both levels Security Groups and NACLs. In my case, I figured out that even after modifying the security group, the update failed. However, when the NACLs were modified.. the update was successful
I ran the following command with sudo (can't do yum alone if you're not root) and it fixed the issue.
yum-config-manager --save --setopt=dev.mysql.com_downloads_repo_yum_.skip_if_unavailable=true
I had the same problem. In my case, I mistakenly deleted the outbound rules of my security group. Adding outbound rule to allow all traffic solved the problem.
please follow the below step
Step 1 : go to AWS-VPC
Step 2 : find DHCP option
Step 3 : if you dont have any DHCP options create a new DHCP
Step 4 : add domaine name = ap-south-1.compute.internal (if your using other region please use other regionname)
Step 5 : add domain name server = AmazonProvidedDNS
Step 6 : then select your VPC --> actions -->edit your DHCP option set --> Select DHCP set which you just created --> Save
Step 7 : Then Reboot your Instance
Step 8 : Login Your Instance then Just type yum list installed --> It will defiantly give you the list of installed things
Thank you
don't worry this is simple error.
this is not connect internet also.
just to create new file with vi editor:
vi /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
and then type this to quit vi:
:wq
I am using the default VPC and DNS host resolution is enabled by default; wasn't my issue. I followed the advice to add the default security group and that resolved my issue.
ACL in your vpc differs from the instances inbound or outbound rules. I see the vpc's acl get people every day multiple times.
check for private hosted zone such as "eu-west-1.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com" and make sure the EC2 has internet , for instance if your EC2 instance is in a private subnet you need to make sure your routes point to a nat gateway or instance.
for me these helped, check
NACL
Security Groups
Routing table
this problem is usually caused by not being able to connect to the internet.
Do the following basic test: ping google.com (ping google), if the answer is no, if you are not pinging it is simple, your server is not connecting to the internet.
To solve this, edit the resolv.conf (nano /etc/resolv.conf) when you open the file you will see that it is empty, in my case here I wrote these lines here:
; generated by /usr/sbin/dhclient-script
search ec2.internal
timeout options:2 attempts:5
name server 172.31.0.2
Do this on yours, save the file, and test the ping again on google.com, if it responds normally, you can run yum update -y and it will work.
Hope this helps.
In my case I followed this troubleshooting (https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ec2-troubleshoot-yum-errors-al1-al2/) and the file /etc/yum/vars/awsregion had invalid content. After set the correct region, yum worked fine.
I experienced the very same issue but the problem was not my Security Group or NACL.
Background:
I added a domain name via Route53.
The domain name continues to be hosted with DiscountASP.net.
The VPC was created manually (no wizard or default).
I created a DHCP Option Set with my domain name and the 4 servers IP addresses given to me by Route53.
Analysis:
First, I needed to prove that the problem was not the Security Group or the NACL.
I did this by attatching the default DHCP Option Set to my new VPC. It worked!
I could do the yum update and "curl http://www.google.com". No problem.
I then created a new DHCP Option Set using my domain name and the Google DNS Servers.
8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4
This also worked.
I then took 1 of the 4 DNS Servers IPs provided by Route 53 and used it with my domain name in a new DHCP Option Set.
I ran a test and it failed. I repeated the same test with 2 of the remaining 4 DNS Servers IPs, creating two separate DHCP Option Sets.
I ran tests and they both failed.
After checking the spelling of my domain name I could only conclude that the problem was the domain name servers.
Solution:
Amazon Virtual Private Cloud User Guide (PDF page 222)
Amazon DNS Server (Sub topic)
"When you create a VPC, we automatically create a set of DHCP options and associate them with the VPC. This set includes two options: domain-name-servers = AmazonProvidedDNS, and domain-name=domainname-for-your-region. AmazonProvidedDNS is an Amazon DNS server, and this option enables DNS
for instances that need to communicate over the VPC's Internet gateway. The string AmazonProvidedDNS maps to a DNS server running on a reserved IP address at the base of the VPC IPv4 network range, plus two. For example, the DNS Server on a 10.0.0.0/16 network is located at 10.0.0.2."
From page 221:
DHCP: domain-name-servers
Option Name Description
"The IP addresses of up to four domain name servers, or AmazonProvidedDNS. The default DHCP option set specifies AmazonProvidedDNS. If specifying more than one domain name server, separate them with commas."
The IP addresses that its referring to are for external domain name servers (excluding the possibility you have created a custom DNS).
So I created my final DHCP Option Set using my domain name and domain-name-servers=AmazonProvidedDNS. It worked!
By the way the VPC DNS Resolution = yes & DNS Hostname = no.
Go to the security group for which EC2 is configured.
And verify the below fields in its Inbound rules.If these below fields are not there then add it by clicking on button Edit inbound rules.
Type-: All traffic
Protocol-: All
Port range-: All
Destination-: 0.0.0.0/0
Hope this would resolve the issue.
Hay! Here is perfect answer i found
go to outbound rules add
All Traffic
That's it
