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).
You can create a Client VPN endpoint that will allow you to securely connect to the instances in the private subnet. To enable internet connection, you need to create an Internet Gateway and a NAT Gateway in the public subnet.
Yes, EIC endpoint is needed for accesing instance which does not have a public ip. So for that purpose, you will need to create a EIC from the VPC console. If you don't and try to access the command from CLI, it will complain about No EIC being found.
Hello, at this moment there is no way to increase the tunnel max duration and it's listed as one of the limitations. Maximum duration for an established TCP connection: 1 hour (3,600 seconds). You can specify the maximum allowed duration in an IAM policy, which can be 3,600 seconds or less. docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/connect-using-eice.html
yeah, it is ! You can use it via AWS Systems manager as well but it has lot of nut bolts to be in place. Jump Server (bastion host) is a quite a popular approach in these scenarios irrespective of AWS. EC2 Instance Connect Endpoint is thereby a timely update to overcome the operational burden of maintaining a bastion host.
Similar way: aws ec2-instance-connect open-tunnel - instance-id i-xyzasdasxxxxx - remote-port 3389 - local-port 5555 Once the tunnel is opened, you can open RDP client and in the Computer Name, you can provide localhost:5555 where 5555 was the local port provided in the command.

What software you use to draw that diagram. thanks!
where you created the profile. ?
If my EC2 is windows server, would this work and how safe is this approach to use in Production?

That's a nice point. Ideally it should unless explicitly its tuned only for SSH.
Would try that out in free time and get back.
How can I connect to my tunnel from a tablet that offers rdp? The server https address is blocked with my wifi.
@@durgadaskamathcould it be the other way around? Connecting to the ec2 instance from rdp mobile app tablet? How would I configure that?
what to do if want to establish an internet connection on this private ec2? please tell

Hi
When enabling the Preserve Client IP to true, after provisioning of the endpoint, it comes up as No. Have you experienced this?
bow can i set credential for aws configure for ec2
iam
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?
Yes, EIC endpoint is needed for accesing instance which does not have a public ip. So for that purpose, you will need to create a EIC from the VPC console.
If you don't and try to access the command from CLI, it will complain about No EIC being found.
Thank you. Now I am need to scp to the private instance. How can we use this to copy files from local directory to private instance
Bro can i open the port 8888 in my local machine and also the ec2 instance?
yes - by default the SSH is on port 22 on the ec2.
On local you can open any port and port forward it to the port on the ec2 .
What plugin or extension did you use to have tree view tabs in your browser?
I use EDGE browser and it has native "Vertical" tabs support.
Can you please let me know how can we SCP to this instance using private dns or ip.
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.

you didnt show how you have configured security group, can you please confirm which ports you have open
Standard Security group - Port 22 for SSH,
Isn't connecting using the session manager (via AWS systems manager) also a viable solution (usually preferred over having bastion hosts)?
yeah, it is ! You can use it via AWS Systems manager as well but it has lot of nut bolts to be in place.

How to do windows RDP from local windows machine?
Similar way:
aws ec2-instance-connect open-tunnel - instance-id i-xyzasdasxxxxx
- remote-port 3389 - local-port 5555
Once the tunnel is opened, you can open RDP client and in the Computer Name, you can provide localhost:5555 where 5555 was the local port provided in the command.
Awesome work!! thanks
