I created an EC2 instance almost a year ago. A few months ago, I could no longer find the EC2 instance in the EC2 management page but I could still SSH into my instance and see my website with the Elastic IP it was on.
Now, I had to change my IP and went to update security group inbound rule for SSH. However, I could not find the previous inbound rules I set: 80, 443, and 22.
I can't even find the Elastic IP but I still can access my website. I see that my instance is now considered a VPC.
How can I access my EC2 instance, Elastic IP, and security group inbound rules?
Make sure you're in the correct region, you can only see resources in the region that you currently have selected.
To get this run curl -s http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/placement/availability-zone.
Ignore the letter at the end to get the region, rather than AZ. For example if it returns eu-west-1b then eu-west-1 would be the region.
