I have created a free trial instance in GCP. Now I am seeing 2 instance in VM instance dashboard.
One is the instance that I am using and other is ce-replicator-goo16-2e8##f6b. I tried to delete this instance but it automatically comes up again. I am not sure why this instance is for. Will I be charged for this instance as well.
IF anyone have idea on this, Please help.
Thanks

It happens when you are using CloudEndure migration service to bring your instance into GCP. In such cases, Service Account having Owner permission recreating the instance "ce-replicator-goo16-2e8##f6b". Deleting the "service account" used for migration would allow deleting those temporary instance.

I am trying to create an API that runs on AWS EC2 t2.micro. The problem I'm having is that my instance keeps shut down automatically every ~3 hours, which could be because of the "session time" of my AWS Educate account (screenshot attached)
Is there any way to keep my instance running constantly (for days and even months)?
I am using "tmux", which does seem to keep my API and the EC2 instance running even after my ssh connection is terminated, but the EC2 instance itself still shuts down automatically.
EDIT: If it is not possible to keep an EC2 instance of an AWS Educate account running constantly. Is there a way to start a new session automatically when the old instance's session has expired?
(Maybe using a script/using some tools offered by AWS? I'm new to AWS so I don't know if this is possible)
Sadly you can't change that. It is explicitly stated in AWS educate docs:
When your session ends, your resources will be “stopped.” You will be required to re-start your resources when you start a new session.
Instead of Using AWS Educate you can Create Regular AWS account which provides some services for free for one year. It includes the EC2 instance as well so you don't have to pay anything and you can run for months and year it will never gone down until you manually stop it.
I am running amazon AWS ECS container which creates one single instance of EC2. I made sure that it is 1 instance when I created ECS.
My issue is that I have another instance running in EC2 and amazon has sent me an email that I am using double of the free quota and will be charged.
But I am not sure why this second EC2 instance is coming from.
I have terminated it many times but it is recreated. When I terminate it, this is the prompt i receive which advises me that it is created from EBS but there is no app in EBS
On an EBS-backed instance, the default action is for the root EBS volume to be deleted when the instance is terminated.
Storage on any local drives will be lost.
This name of the instance is.
ECS Instance - amazon-ecs-cli-setup-ecs-cricketscorer
Please help.
check if you have any Auto Scaling Groups that you do not recognize. It is most probably being created because of it. If not, change your account password and deactivate/delete your existing AccessKeys.
I have been struggling with this since last 2 days - A. Trying to create AWS Spot Instance with Deep Learning AMI for Linux (free).
B. Upon launching EC2 Instance it says Spot Instance request successfully created but it fails to create the instance.
C. Using Spot Fleet role, and later have been trying to change it to provide Admin access to this role through Policies.
However, the instance is never created and in the History tab I see Event Type = fleetRequestChange goes from Submitted, active, cancelled_terminating within a minute and later cancelled.
I have been reading through its documentation but don't see a reason for it to fail. Verified the Region and AMI as well. Tried changing bid price and with default recommended option as well. But nothing seems to work.
This is the link I'm referring - AWS setup for Deep Learning
Please skip the initial portion of getting credits and you can directly jump to EC2 instance configuration setup.
Kindly help! I am unable to proceed for the past 2 days.
Thank you!
It worked perfectly fine for me.
Launched the Deep Learning AMI (ami-df77b6a7) in the Oregon region
Spot pricing as documented in the article you referenced
I could ssh into the instance after it launched
One thing you could check... Click the Limits link in your EC2 console to confirm that you can launch this type of instance.

I want to copy the EC2 instance that i have to one amazon account to another one account that i have now.At the first account,at the EC2 instance i am running a website.I want exactly the same website to be copied at the new account that i have,because my second account is for testing purposes and i want to do changes to the website without affecting the first account,the website that is online.I don't know very well of the Amazon services and how can i manage them,I ask for your understanding.Can i do this?And if i can do it,which are the steps? But if i can make a copy inside the first account,that has the online website,and testing this copy without affecting the main website again,is accepted and i can do it,just tell me how can i do this. Thanks in advance
The following AWS KB article describes the process. It's not possible to copy the instance, but you can create an AMI of the instance and share it with the other AWS account. Then you create another instance from that AMI in the other account.
https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/account-transfer-ec2-instance/
Stop Instance(if possible) and create AMI from it
Copy AMI from Account A to Account B .
launch Instance from AMI and you are good to go.
You can read about it here
Also, if you want to automate this then you can visit Botmetric
I try to use one AWS EC2 instance to start another EC2 instance automatically so that it could be started automatically if this monitoring EC2 instance keeps running. I could use SSH to connect to my instance . However ,when I try to use ec2-start-instance . I failed with following bugs:
The instance ID 'i-XXXXXXXX' does not exist
These two instances are in different availability zone so I think it is networking settings problem but I don't know how to solve it.Anyone could help me?
I suspect your answer lies in Roles. i.e. Account A's EC2 instance needs to have a Role Right on Account B to start EC2 instances in Account B. And it needs to somehow be assigned this role. Not sure that's possible?
Check into:
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_roles_create_for-user_externalid.html
"The access policy for the role specifies what the role allows someone to do. For example, you could specify that the role allows someone to manage only your Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS resources but not your IAM users or groups. In our sample scenario, you use the access policy to give Example Corp read-only access to all of the resources in your account."

I fixed because I used the wrong credentials. One AWS account was set up for my personal website and the other was other uses so I considered using this continuously running instance to do something for me.
Thank you
