AWS recently introduced the EC2 Instance Connect Endpoint (EIC Endpoint), a groundbreaking solution that allows you to securely connect to your instances and other Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) resources directly from the Internet. With the EIC Endpoint, you no longer require an Internet Gateway (IGW) in your VPC, a public IP address on your resource, a bastion host, or any additional agent to establish a secure connection. This innovative feature combines identity-based and network-based access controls, providing the necessary isolation, control, and logging capabilities to meet your organization’s strict security requirements.
In this video tutorial, you will learn how to connect to your Linux EC2 instance using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI). We will guide you through the process, covering each step in detail to ensure a successful connection. Now, let’s delve into the step-by-step tutorial, where we’ll cover the following topics:
1. Create a VPC with public and private subnets.

2. Install the latest version of the AWS CLI on your computer.

3. Create an IAM policy that allows users to create, describe, and delete EC2 Instance Connect Endpoints.

4. Create an IAM policy that allows users to use the EC2 Instance Connect Endpoints.

5. Create an IAM user that has an access key and secret access key, and attach the policies to the user.
6. Run the “aws configure” command to configure the IAM user’s credentials on your computer.
7. Verify that the OpenSSH client is installed on your computer.
Command: ssh -V
8. Create security groups in your VPC.
– eic-endpoint-sg: Open outbound traffic on port 22 and use the VPC CIDR for the source destination.
– ec2-instance-sg: Open inbound traffic on port 22 and use the eic-endpoint-sg for the source destination.

9. Create the EC2 Instance Connect Endpoints.
10. Launch an EC2 instance in the private subnet in your VPC.
12. Connect to the instance.
Command: aws ec2-instance-connect ssh –instance-id [your-instance-id]
