Goodbye Bastion Hosts: Embrace EC2 Instance Connect Endpoint for Effortless Private Subnet Access! 👋

In the video, we will see how we can connect to instances in private subnet using one of the new features from AWS i.e EC2 instance connect endpoint.
With this, we can get away with bastion host and save some operational overhead.

If my EC2 is windows server, would this work and how safe is this approach to use in Production?

Hi, I was wondering if the tunneling technique can be extended a bit further and used to connect to an RDS instance. So the use case is to connect from the local dev machine to an RDS in a private subnet (via the EC2 instance, also in the private subnet).

Hi

When enabling the Preserve Client IP to true, after provisioning of the endpoint, it comes up as No. Have you experienced this?

Can you please let me know how can we SCP to this instance using private dns or ip.

What plugin or extension did you use to have tree view tabs in your browser?

Is there any way to increase the tunnel max duration? 1h is too low for the project I'm working on. Thanks in advance, good video.

Isn't connecting using the session manager (via AWS systems manager) also a viable solution (usually preferred over having bastion hosts)?

Hey thanks. Just wanted to confirm, is the first step of creating eic endpoint from vpc console necessary to connect from aws cli in the later stage?
