I created a WordPress app using Lightsail. It says it was created in Frankfurt Zone. However, I cannot see this instance in EC2 console. I want to create a Load Balancer for that app and add certificates, but I can't cause I don't see this instance on the list. Any ideas where can I find this Lightsail instance in EC2 console?
AWS Lightsail not shown in EC2 console, it's the main difference between the Lightsail and EC2, If you want to have more control on your EC2, so you should run EC2 instance instead of cheaper version Lightsail.
For more info about the Lighsail read the FAQ on the AWS website:
https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/faq/
Also, you can use Lightsail load balancer instead of standard ELB on AWS, for more info read the following doc:

I am creating the first betas of a project. I need a SpringBoot server connecting to MongoDBs in AWS.
MongoDB is already deployed as a replicaset in different EC2 instances. I was exploring AWS Beanstalk as environment to deploy the SpringBoot. However I am not yet ready to deploy a Load Balancer, because is costly.
I am looking for the way to deploy a Single-Instance Environment (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/using-features-managing-env-types.html?ref_=pe_395030_31184250_9#single-instance-environ) in a VPC (which would be shared with MongoDB).
Does AWS Beanstalk allows you to configure a EC2 instance within an VPC but without Load Balancer?
If not, I am planning to deploy an EC2 instance in the VPC myself without Beanstalk.
Other temporary solution would be accessing MongoDB over the internet, with the right security group rules, but i do not think is a good practice at all, so I am not considering it.
All Elastic Beanstalk environments are in a VPC, unless you have a really old AWS account that still supports EC2 classic. What you are looking for is the EB Single-Instance Environment type.
I created a free account in amazon aws and created an EC2 instance using "Amazon Linux AMI". I could ssh to the instance and I installed NodeJS in it. I also purchased a domain name and configured it with an elastic IP to that instance.
Now when i login to the EC2 management console I couldn't see the instance. What might be reason for this?
In which region did you create the instance?
Check the region at the top menu, to the right.
I have deployed a webservice application in Amazon EC2 and has associated an Elastic IP address with the same. Our mobile interact with this webservice using elastic IP. Now I want to implemented auto scaling on the EC2.
But what I am not sure is how does my single elastic ip be associated with multiple EC2 instances as it scales up? Is this possible. Please guide.
An elastic IP address is only ever associated with a single EC2 instance.
If you want to start auto-scaling your application, then you need to put a load balancer in front of your EC2 instances. That can be AWS Elastic Load Balancer, or some other.
Users would connect to the Load Balancer, and the Load Balancer would forward requests to the underlying EC2 instances.
Assuming you use an Elastic Load Balancer, you'll need to drop the Elastic IP address since ELB cannot use them. Instead, you'll create a CNAME (or Alias if your DNS is using Route 53) to the ELB.
No that's not possible. You probably need to be using an Elastic Load Balancer.
With EC2 & Auto scaling, You need using user data in EC2 to Auto Attach Elastic IP to EC2 Instance For Auto scaling
#!/bin/bash
aws configure set aws_access_key_id "XYZ..."
aws configure set aws_secret_access_key "ABC..."
aws configure set region "ap-..."
aws ec2 associate-address --instance-id "$(curl -X GET "http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id")" --public-ip your_elastic_IP
Note: you should create new user & IAM have only permission associate-address to create/get aws key
Hope it be help you :)
I wanted to migrate my EC2 instance which is in a VPC to a classic EC2 instance.
Is this possible?
What are the steps I need to follow?
Per the Amazon Documentation
If your account supports EC2 Classic you can make an AMI of the existing instance, and launch that AMI into EC2 Classic.
To find out whether your account supports EC2 Classic look under AWS Management Console -> EC2 Service, under Supported Platforms.
I want to change my RDS Instance that is connected to my Elastic Beanstalk Application, from a db.t1.micro to a db.m1.small. If I go to my Elastic Beanstalk Application and go to "Configuration", I can only see the current settings, but I'm unable to change them.
I then went into the Console -> RDS -> Instances, and updated my Instance from the RDS Menu, and set it as a db.m1.small. On RDS it now says that it's an db.m1.small, however on the Elastic Beanstalk Configuration Page, it still says that the application is running a db.t1.micro instance.
So a few questions:
Did I upgrade my instance in the "correct" way? Or is there another way I'm suppose to configure my RDS Instance that is set up with my Elastic Beanstalk App?
Any ideas why the different pages are saying different configurations?
If RDS console says that the RDS instance type is m1.small then it has been changed to m1.small. The two pages are showing different values because beanstalk provisioned a t1.micro instance instance for you and hence thinks you have a t1.micro db instance. If you rebuild your environment then the new environment should have the same configuration and hence a t1.micro instance.
Changing it via the RDS console does not change the configuration on Beanstalk, hence you see different values.
However if the RDS instance was created via Beanstalk then the correct way to update your db instance type would be using Elastic Beanstalk option settings.
You can make the change using AWS CLI if not using the console.
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/
Just run the following command:
aws elasticbeanstalk --update-environment --environment-name <your-env-name> --option-settings Namespace=aws:rds:dbinstance,OptionName=DBInstanceClass,Value=db.m1.small
Try the above command.
