I created a VPC, added an internet gateway, added two subnets, and then launched an instance into that VPC. I created a security group that permits any traffic from anywhere and assigned it to that instance. I assigned to enable a public IP address (I didn't assign it an elastic ip).
I cannot for the life of me figure out why I cannot connect to public ip address of instance. I've literally gone back destroyed and created my vpc and instances with no luck.
There has got to be something simple I'm missing, it cannot be this difficult. What is going on??
You have created the internet gateway but must have forgot to attach the Internet Gateway to the Subnet in which you are launching the EC2 instances. Go to the subnet in which you have launched the EC2 instances and attach the Internet gateway to the subnet. When you check the route table for the subnet it should look some thing like this screenshot. That "igw" is the internet gateway.
Even you allowed all the traffic in Security group. we need to check the INTERNET GATEWAY added in the Route Tables
For that,
SERVICES > VPC > ROUTE TABLES and select your Route table
In the routes Tab after to summary,
Please check you have added your INTERNET GATEWAY

I have problems with assigning two internet gateways in the infrastructure with terraform.
I have two subnets, a subnet manages all the frontend and the other subnets manages all the backend, i want to assign them an internet gateway to each ec2 instance so to can use them from the internet, but I'm getting the next error:
error attaching EC2 Internet Gateway (igw-0b0af7a9d5274c29d) to VPC (vpc-095fd5e0ee29b981d): InvalidParameterValue: Network vpc-095fd5e0ee29b981d already has an internet gateway attached
It is not possible to attach more than one InternetGateway per VPC. For ec2 instances to access the internet, add rote to your subnet's route table that directs all default traffic (0.0.0.0/0) to your InternetGateway. Also assign Public IP / Elastic IP to each of EC2.
Refer this AWS doc for more info:-
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/VPC_Internet_Gateway.html
I deleted my default VPC to start from scratch with a private network CIDR (10.10.10.0/24). After that I checked all ACL's and security-group settings to be open to the world. I also attached a new internet gateway to my VPC and my EC2 instance is also showing a public IP after launch.
The problem now is that I'm not able to access the public EC2 instance IP using SSH. I have no idea how to further process here, I checked the AWS documentations but with no success as everything seems to be in place as it has to be.
Can smb. please explain to me how to build a VPC from scratch. So that if I launch an EC2 instance within the VPC I can access the public IP of the ec2 instance using SSH
Thanks in advance
Based on the comments.
The issue was caused due to lack of correct route to internet gateway. The correct route should directed all connections to 0.0.0.0/0 into the gateway.
The solution was to provide correct route to the gateway.
I created an internet gateway in AWS VPC dashboard, I attached it to a VPC then I want to detach it but I keep getting this error:
Network vpc-xxxx has some mapped public adresses, Please unmap those public addresses before detaching the gateway. ( Service: AmazonEC2; Status Code: 400; Error Code: DependencyViolation; Request ID: qfdqsdf)
What to do to detache this IGW ? Why exactly do I get this error?
I need to get rid of this IGW without deleting extra resources. please any ideas?
For information, the route table of the VPC does contain public addresses but they are routed to other targets. This IGW is not set as target anywhere.
You have some resources in the VPC that have been assigned a Public IP address, such as:
Amazon EC2 instances
Amazon RDS instances
Amazon Redshift cluster
VPC NAT Gateways
etc.
These IP addresses might have been assigned as an Elastic IP address or as an "auto-assign Public IP address" on instance creation.
You will need to delete these Elastic IP addresses before the Internet Gateway can be removed. If they were auto-assigned IP addresses, then Stop the instances to remove the public IP addresses.
You might also need to edit your Route Tables so that they do not refer to the Internet Gateway.
had eks in a vpc, deleted the cluster but now there's network interfaces with an EIP and sg attached to them that were loadbalancers that did not get deleted when deleting the cluster because the deployments were not deleted inside the cluster before deleting the cluster itself. Had to find all associated ELB's and delete them, then security groups, then intefaces, EIP, all the way down the line till finally deleting the internet gateway and vpc.
I had to delete NAT gateway that was hanging around to resolve mine.
For those facing the same problem check also Route tables having the Internet Gateway as target
Personally, I had to manually reject connections from the endpoint services in the VPC.
Endpoint Services > Select Service > Endpoint Connections > Select connection > Actions > Reject endpoint connection request
In my case, I had to remove the dependency of Public IP from the DMS Replication instance.
I created an EC2 instance, but I want to attach an elastic IP to it so that if I ever have to resize the instance, the IP doesn't change.
So I allocated a new elastic IP address, but when I try to associate it with the instance, I get this error:
Network vpc-c00973b1 is not attached to any internet gateway
What am I doing wrong?
Your instance is in AWS VPC (not in Classic). This VPC is not default VPC which comes with pre-attached Internet Gateway. Your VPC requires an internet gateway to communicate with outside of your VPC. i.e. that includes any destination on internet. To attach elastic IP you must attach an Internet Gateway with your VPC and add route to internet in your subnet's route table. (0.0.0.0/0 to Internet Gateway)
This guide will help you for detailed steps.

I working on aws. I created a public subnet which has a network ACL allows all net traffic, and associated with a internet gateway in the route table.
And then I create a ec2 instance without elastic ip and a ec2 instance with elastic ip in it, and the security group also allows all traffic.
I ssh to the instance which has elastic ip. It works well when I run yum update and curl www.baidu.com and so on. But I can't access internet when I ssh to the ec2 instance which has no elastic ip. anyone knows that is why?
For accessing internet from EC2 instance in public subnet using Internet Gateway, the instance needs to have public IP address. Either one can configure the instance to have public IP address or attach EIP.
Reference: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/VPC_Internet_Gateway.html
If you do not want to attach public IP address for instances with Internet access (consider private subnets), NAT instance and NAT gateway can help.
Reference: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonVPC/latest/UserGuide/vpc-nat.html
As well as being in a subnet that has a route to an Internet gateway, an instance must have a public IP address to communicate with the outside world (this is distinct from an elastic IP).
You can specify this when launching an instance, if not there is a per subnet setting that controls this. The per subnet setting defaults to false other than default subnets in your default VPC. There are more details in the aws docs.
The problem lies with the gateway connected to the subnet you are using. To check the gateway you are using:
Go to the subnet you are using
Click on the Route table
Under Routes -> Destination look for 0.0.0.0/0 and check the gateway you have for it under Target
Here's how the gateways behave:
Internet Gateway (IGW) allows instances with public IPs to access the internet.
NAT Gateway (NGW) allows instances with no public IPs to access the internet.
