Amazon Web Services Missing Instances


Sorry, I am really new to this AWS. I am stuck since yesterday.

Our former developer creates an app and it is on AWS, unfortunately, we can't find the Instances on the account he created. But we can still access the IP, and also, there's nothing on the account Elastic IP.

It is either, there's a different account, or I am missing something?


Solution

  • One of the reasons for this could be that you are looking in the wrong region. In your AWS console, try to switch to the relevant region(s) to find the instance.

    Another way is, if you have access to the Cost Explorer, then you may be able to see your all billed resources and that can help you find the instance too.

    EDIT: To see the details of EC2 instances in cost explore, go to the Bills from the left menu and check "Bill details by service" (default tab). You will be able to drill into instances level. Here is a snapshot
