Connect to your EC2 instance using SSH the modern way

Did you know establishing an SSH connection with an EC2 instance is possible without configuring a key pair and without allowing inbound traffic on port 22? How is that possible? By using a combination of EC2 Instance Connect and Systems Manager (SSM). Watch a demo!

hello and thank you for the tutorial.
This method works great for me when I use SSH, but when I use SCP it throws me 'ssh: Could not resolve hostname'
you know what it could be?

Is it possible to use this to connect to an RDS database thru an EC2 bastion host? The EC2 bastion host without having a key-pair.

Hi, where do I need to run the commands from? I mean on which machine do they need running? Also, I see that no keypair was selected while launching the instance, where did you get the public key from?

Does this solution works from a local computer if I don't have a public IP and Keypair on the EC2 instance ? Is there a way to ssh a private EC2 instance which doesn't have public IP and keypair attached ? Consider I have the right permission, AWS CLI access and SSM/plugins available.

Will this work on a redhat ec2 instance.

I have tried this approach but I am getting Permission denied (publickey, keyboard-interactive), have checked, the config seems to be correct
