I have a tomcat app deployed onto multiple ec2 instances behind ELB ... Is there any way to access each instance using jmx? AWS provides any service for it??
Thanks.
Is there any way to access each instance using jmx?
If each instance has a public IP or Elastic IP, and the appropriate port in the Security Group is open, then you could connect directly, bypassing the ELB. You'll have to go around the ELB somehow in order to connect via JMX. I suggest using a bastion host and SSH forwarding.
AWS provides any service for it??
AWS does not provide any service specifically for this. This is just general networking, which is provided by the VPC service.

I have ec2 instance on AWS, what I want it's to use IP from server outside AWS on this instance.
I can setup VPN on server outside AWS and use it with ec2 instance for example.
But what is the better way to do it? Maybe use some VPN-Client service in AWS to connect to my vpn-server and route all traffic from ec2 instance to this VPN connection?
What is the better way to do it?
Thanks.
For this task I found that PROXY server is better solution then VPN
I have a Django web application, running on AWS Elastic Beanstalk, inside of an EC2 linux instance.
Only the load balancer is accessible to the internet, for security reasons. Deployment to the EC2 app server is facilitated by Elastic Beanstalk, but new packages added to the repository can't be installed without an internet connection.
What is the standard way to automatically update without an internet connection?
Should I just create another EC2 and use it as a proxy server? How can I configure this?
Are there any references on this topic?
Typically NAT gateway is used for that:
You can use a network address translation (NAT) gateway to enable instances in a private subnet to connect to the internet or other AWS services, but prevent the internet from initiating a connection with those instances.
There are also NAT instances which also can be used for the same purpose. However NAT gateway is a managed and scalable service and is usually preferred over NAT instances.
I have a website which is running on ec2 windows instance. I want to expose that to a public endpoint without opening any port on the ec2 instance. Only outbound connections are allowed on ec2 instance.
How can hook some cloud resource/application in front of my website so that it can be accessed by someone in public internet? What i am looking for is a tcp relay functionality that a call from public internet browser is just routed to my local website on ec2 with minimal effort. Something like what is explained here: https://serverfault.com/questions/760129/what-is-a-tcp-relay-and-when-is-it-used/760142
Can someone suggest something? Or if AWS doesnt expose such a relay functionality, can something be done using websockets in AWS-iot?
I found ngrok as a 3rd party tool, but I want to stick to AWS options only.
This is exactly what a Classic Elastic Load Balancer does. Usually, there's more than one instance (hence, "load balancer") but this works exactly as you describe with just one instance.
The ELB is globally-accessible, and then it forwards the traffic to the instance. Nobody connects directly to your instance.
Of course, you have to open a port on the instance for the ELB to access it, but you would have to do that with any "relay" solution. This access can be limited only to the ELB itself.
I need to trigger a Jenkins build that will access a Chef server installed on an EC2 instance which is behind a VPN.
Potentially the security group could be relaxed to allow the Jenkins server's IP, but I hope to avoid that.
Is there a way to connect Jenkins to a VPN while executing a build?
A Google search of this yielded this plugin on github but in its Jenkins page there's no real information nor is it downloadable.
One way to do this is to have a well-secured bastion server acting as an interface into the VPC and having access to tunnel (with SSH, VPN or something else) only the kind of requests you want to allow in.
You should create a NAT gateway in the account where Jenkins is installed. NAT Gateway will have Elastic IP and all the resources in this VPC (including Jenkins) will reach to Internet using this EIP. Then you configure your target security group to allow connections from this Elastic IP.
create OpenVPN ec2 instance from aws marketplace and create ec2 instance for ur jenkin and add the security group of ur openvpn instance to jenkin instance .. so that once u connect your openvpn then only u access ur jenkin instance...
Note: Openvpn instance is not free of cost
I have a kubernetes cluster having a master and two minions.
I have a service running using the public IP of one of the minion as the external IP of the service.
I have a deployment which runs a POD providing the service.Using the docker IP of the POD I am able to access the service.
But I am not able to access it using the external IP and the cluster IP.
The security groups have the necessary ports open.
Can someone help on what I am missing here.The same setup works fine in my local VM cluster.
Easiest way to access the service is to use a NodePort, then assuming your security groups allow that port you can access the service via the public ip of the node:nodeport assigned.
Alternately and a better approach to not expose your nodes to the public internet is to setup the CloudProvider to be type AWS and create a service type LoadBalancer, then the service will be provisioned with an ELB publicly.
