I have created a redis endpoint on amazon elastic cache and also setup vpc & NAT gateway. I need to connect created redis endpoint with redis-cli. i using command like this
redis-cli -h dev-redis.434dffsdsf.0094.ustyue1.cache.amazonaws.com
But i got error message like this
Could not connect to Redis at dev-redis.a35gy4.0001.use1.cache.amazonaws.com:6379: Connection timed out
I tried with several ways
tried to connect from my local ubuntu machine.
tried to connect from a ec2 instance.
My source code is running on aws lambda. Using aws lambda we can successfully connect to the same redis endpoint.
What is the actual issue with my redis client?
Please check SG of ElastiCache. Redis instance should be accessible to server where you're running Redis CLI.
Option 1 will not work, as ElastiCache instances are not accessible outside of their VPC. From the FAQs: "Amazon ElastiCache Nodes, deployed within a VPC, can never be accessed from the Internet or from EC2 Instances outside the VPC."
Option 2 should work, if the EC2 instance is within the same VPC as the ElastiCache instance.
Adding more details as none of the answers here gave me full clarity
What is security group - security group in AWS is like a firewall.
What should I check in the security group - Check in inbound rules of the security group attached to the Redis if port 6379 is open to IPs within the CIDR (e.g. 192.168.32.0/20) of the EC2 instance from which you tried to access the Redis/ElasticCache

I am trying to connect my AWS aurora database with pgAdmin 4 and it throws this error. I have tried all the previous solutions provided by the stack overflow answers like add inbound my IP and update pg_hab.conf. It still not working for me. Thank you in advance.
Error facing with pgAdmin
Aurora serverless can be only accessed from within VPC. It has no public Ip address. From docs:
You can't give an Aurora Serverless v1 DB cluster a public IP address. You can access an Aurora Serverless v1 DB cluster only from within a VPC.
This means you either have to connect to it from an EC2 instance running in the same VPC, or setup ssh tunneling or VPN connection between your local computer and the aurora. How to setup ssh tunnel is explained here and here.
Alternatively, use DATA API to interact with your database from outside of a VPC.
I created an Elastic Beanstalk environment from Visual Studio and need to login to service the underlying ec2 vm.
I don't have an credentials for the server, so I wanted to use EC2 Instance Connect.
When I click connect, I get an error message:
We were unable to connect to your instance. Make sure that your instance’s network settings are configured correctly for EC2 Instance Connect. For more information, see Task 1: Configure network access to an instance.
Following the link, I found the instructions:
Ensure that the security group associated with your instance allows inbound SSH traffic on port 22 from your IP address or from your network.
(Amazon EC2 console browser-based client) We recommend that your instance allows inbound SSH traffic from the recommended IP block published for the service. Use the EC2_INSTANCE_CONNECT filter for the service parameter to get the IP address ranges in the EC2 Instance Connect subset.
How do I connect to the Elastic Beanstalk underlying EC2 via EC2 Instance Connect?
What I've tried:
I created a new security group that contains my client IP address, but that didn't work. Which makes sense, as it's the EC2 Instance Connect app running in the Console making the SSH connection, not my local machine.
Also looked at the the ip ranges json file (https://ip-ranges.amazonaws.com/ip-ranges.json), but not sure what to do with that.
I misunderstood the Set up EC2 Instance Connect instructions. This support article had clearer instructions: https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ec2-instance-connect-troubleshooting/
Browser-based SSH connections require that your instance's security group inbound rules allow EC2 Instance Connect access to SSH on TCP port 22.
The key was to find the IP for EC2 Instance Connect and then create
a security group to whitelist that ip address.
EC2 Instance Connect IP can be retrieved via PowerShell by using Get-AWSPublicIpAddressRange (or curl). For us-west-2:
> Get-AWSPublicIpAddressRange -Region us-west-2 -ServiceKey EC2_INSTANCE_CONNECT | select IpPrefix
IpPrefix
--------
18.237.140.160/29
Once I configured my Security Group to use that Source I could connect.
Generally better way then using EC2 Instance Connect is through SSM System Manager. It does not require opening any inbound ports. Instead you should add/modify your install role to allow SSM to work. What's more you can control access to your instance using regular IAM permissions, unlike for EC2 Instance Connect.
Connection through SSM is in the same menu in the AWS console as EC2 Instance Connect. Thus, once you setup your instance role, wait few minutes for the instance to register with SSM, and once this happens you should be able to use SSM System Manager to connect to your instance from the console.
Regarding EC2 Instance Connect IP range. I don't know which range published applies only to EC2 Instance Connect. You would have to filter it by region probably and then find one which works. In worse case scenario its try-and-see approach.
I created a Cluster and an Instance of DocumentDB in amazon. When I try to connect to my Local SSH (MacOS) it displays the following message:
When I try for the MongoDB Compass Community:
mongodb://Mobify:<My-Password>#docdb-2019-04-07-23-28-45.cluster-cmffegva7sne.us-east-2.docdb.amazonaws.com:27017/?ssl=true&ssl_ca_certs=rds-combined-ca-bundle.pem&replicaSet=rs0
It loads many minutes and in the end it has this result:
After solving this problem, I would like to know if it is possible to connect a cluster of documentDB to an instance in another zone of availability ... I have my DocumentDB in Ohio and I have an EC2 in São Paulo ... is it possible?
Amazon DocumentDB clusters are deployed in a VPC to provide strong network isolation from the Internet. To connect to your cluster from outside of the VPC, please see the following: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/documentdb/latest/developerguide/connect-from-outside-a-vpc.html
AWS document DB is hosted on a VPC (virtual private cloud) which has its own specific subnets and security groups; basically, anything that resides in a VPC is not publicly accessible.
Document DB is deployed in a VPC. In order to access it, you need to create an EC2 instance or AWS Could9.
Let's access it from the EC2 instance and access AWS document DB using SSH tunneling.
Create an EC2 instance (preferably ubuntu) of any configuration and select the same VPC in which your document DB cluster is hosted.
After the EC2 is completely initialized, start an SSH tunnel and bind the local port # 27017 with document DB cluster host # 27017.
ssh -i "<ec2-private-key>" -L 27017:docdb-2019-04-07-23-28-45.cluster-cmffegva7sne.us-east-2.docdb.amazonaws.com:27017 ubuntu#<ec2-host> -N
Now your localhost is tunneled to ec2 on port 27017. Connect from mongosh or mongo, enter your cluster password and you will be logged in and execute any queries.
mongosh --sslAllowInvalidHostnames --ssl --sslCAFile rds-combined-ca-bundle.pem --username Mobify --password
Note: SSL will be deprecated. Use tls, just replace SSL with tls in the above command.
Could someone give a step-by-step procedure for connecting to elasticache.
I'm trying to connect to a redis elasticache node from inside my EC2 instance (sshed in). I'm getting Connection Timed Out errors each time, and I can't figure out what's wrong with how I've configured my AWS settings.
They are in different VPCs, but in my elasticache VPC, I have a custom TCP inbound rule at port 6379 to accept from anywhere. And the two VPCs share an Active Peer connection that I set up. What more am I intended to do?
EDIT:
I am trying to connect via the redis-cli command. I sshed in because I was originally trying to connect via the node-redis module since my EC2 instance hosts a node server. So officially my two attempts are 1. A scripted module and 2. The redis-cli command provided in the AWS documentation.
As far as I can tell, I have also set up the route tables correctly according to this: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_Route_Tables.html#route-tables-vpc-peering
You cannot connect to Elasticache from outside its VPC. It's a weird design decision on AWS' part, and although it's not documented well, it is documented here:
Amazon ElastiCache Nodes, deployed within a VPC, can never be accessed from the Internet or from EC2 Instances outside the VPC.
You can set your security groups to allow connections from everywhere, and it will look like it worked, but it won't matter or let you actually connect from outside the VPC (also a weird design decision).
In your Redis cluster properties you have a reference to the Security Group. Copy it.
In our EC2 instance you also have a Security Group. You should edit this Security Group and add the ID of the Redis Security Group as CIDR in the outbound connections + the port 6379.
This way the two Security Groups are linked and the connection can be established.
Two things we might forget when trying to connect to ElasticCache,
Configuring inbound TCP rule to allow incoming requests on port 6379
Adding EC2 security group in ElasticCache instance
Second one helped me.

Here is step-by-step instructions for connection to Redis Elasticache cluster from EC2 inctance located in the same VPC as Elasticache:

I have the same problem setting up Elastic Cache in AWS, I created one, set up a security group to allow inbound TCP to all TCP ports from my home IP. However, I can not telnet to that box. When I run the code, I got timeout error. Can you share with me how did you set it up?
I tried Amazon Audo Discovery demo code as well as simple-spring-cache for memcached. I got timeout on both of them.
Thanks.
It's not possible to access Amazon ElastiCache from home network. You can access memcached instance on Amazon only from your EC2 instance.
