Question: How do I change the default payment method associated with my AWS account?

I want to use a different default payment method to pay my AWS charges.

ResolutionWhen you create an AWS account, your default payment method is the first credit card that you entered. You can add additional cards for future payments or, if you're eligible, set up direct debit through ACH or SEPA.Follow the steps below to add a new payment method:1.    (Optional) If you don't have a payment method for your AWS account, then see How do I add a new payment method to my AWS account?2.    Sign in to the Billing and Cost Management console.3.    In the navigation pane, choose Payment preferences.4.    Next to your preferred default payment method, choose Make default.After you update your default payment method, new AWS bills are automatically charged to that payment method for future billingYour seller of record information might impact the payment methods available for your account.If you change your default payment method at the end of an AWS billing cycle, then you might incur charges on the original payment method. If you have questions about your monthly AWS bill and payment methods, then create an AWS Support case. Then, select Account and Billing Support.To remove an old payment method, see Remove a payment method.Note: You can't remove a default payment method until you add a new payment method or choose another default payment method.

Question: How do I determine whether to use a bootstrap action or a step on an Amazon EMR cluster?

What are the use cases for running a bootstrap action or running a step on an Amazon EMR cluster?Short descriptionUse bootstrap actions to install additional software on an EMR cluster. Use steps to submit work to an EMR cluster, or to process data.

ResolutionBootstrap actionsBootstrap actions run after an EMR cluster transitions from the STARTING state to the BOOTSTRAPPING state. Bootstrap actions run before core services, such as Hadoop or Spark, are installed. If a bootstrap action fails, the cluster doesn't start. For more information, see Understanding the cluster lifecycle.Bootstrap actions run on all cluster nodes. Bootstrap actions are scripts that run as the Hadoop user by default—but they can also run as the root user with the sudo command. You can configure bootstrap actions to run commands conditionally, based on instance-specific values in the instance.json or job-flow.json file.Note: On Amazon EMR 2.x and 3.x releases, bootstrap actions run after core services are installed. Most predefined bootstrap actions for Amazon EMR AMI versions 2.x and 3.x aren't supported in later Amazon EMR releases. For more information, see Create bootstrap actions to install additional software.StepsA step is a unit of work that contains one or more Hadoop jobs. Steps are usually used to transfer or process data. One step might submit work to a cluster. Other steps might process the submitted data and then send the processed data to a particular location.Steps start after bootstrap actions and run only on the master node. For more information, see Running steps to process data.In Amazon EMR release versions 5.28.0 and later, you can run multiple steps in parallel. In earlier Amazon EMR release versions, steps complete their work sequentially.When you configure a step, you can choose what happens after a step fails.For more information about steps, see Work with steps using the AWS CLI and console.

Question: How can I access my Amazon S3 bucket over Direct Connect?

I want to access my Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) bucket over AWS Direct Connect. How can I do that?Short descriptionYou can establish access to Amazon S3 in the following ways:Use a public IP address over Direct ConnectUse a private IP address over Direct Connect (with an interface VPC endpoint)

ResolutionUse a public IP address over Direct ConnectTo connect to Amazon S3 using a public IP address over Direct Connect, perform the following steps:Note: This configuration doesn't require an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) endpoint for Amazon S3. A VPC endpoint isn't required because on-premises traffic can't traverse the Gateway VPC endpoint.Create a connection. You can request a dedicated connection or hosted connection.Establish a cross-network connection with the help of your network provider.Create a public virtual interface for your connection.Configure an end router to use with the public virtual interface. For more information on configuring your router, see How do I connect my private network to AWS public services using an AWS Direct Connect public VIF?After the BGP is up and established, the Direct Connect router advertises all global public IP prefixes, including Amazon S3 prefixes. Traffic heading to Amazon S3 is routed through the Direct Connect public virtual interface. The public virtual interface is routed through a private network connection between AWS and your data center or corporate network.Use a private IP address over Direct Connect (with an interface VPC endpoint)To access Amazon S3 using a private IP address over Direct Connect, perform the following steps:Create a connection. You can request a dedicated connection or hosted connection.Establish a cross-network connection with the help of your network provider.Create a private virtual interface for your connection.Note: Users can also access Amazon S3 endpoints using a transit virtual interface. For more information, see Transit gateway associations across accounts.Configure an end router to use with the private virtual interface. For more information about configuring your router, see How do I configure routing for my Direct Connect private virtual interface?Note: You can use this setup with a Direct Connect gateway between a private virtual interface (private VIF) and a virtual private gateway (VGW).Create an interface VPC endpoint for Amazon S3 in a VPC that is associated with the virtual private gateway. The VGW must connect to a Direct Connect private virtual interface. This interface VPC endpoint resolves to a private IP address even if you turn on a VPC endpoint for S3.When you access Amazon S3, use the same DNS name provided under the details of the VPC endpoint. For more information on AWS PrivateLink and DNS considerations, see Secure hybrid access to Amazon S3 using AWS PrivateLink. For more examples, see AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) examples or AWS SDK example.Note: If you receive errors when running AWS CLI commands, make sure that you’re using the most recent AWS CLI version.

Question: How do I migrate my data from one DB engine to another using AWS DMS?

I want to migrate my data from one DB engine to another using AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS).

Short descriptionYou can use AWS DMS to migrate relational databases, data warehouses, NoSQL databases, and other types of data stores. You can use AWS DMS to migrate between on-premises instances or between combinations of cloud and on-premises setups.AWS DMS supports both homogeneous (between two databases with the same engine) and heterogeneous (between different database engines) migrations. For example, a homogeneous migration could be from an Oracle database to an Oracle database and a heterogeneous migration could be from Oracle to MySQL.When you use AWS DMS, either the source or target database must be on an AWS service. For example, you can use AWS DMS to migrate to AWS from an on-premises database, or from an AWS database service to an on-premises environment.

ResolutionAWS DMS creates only the minimum number of objects that are required to efficiently migrate the data. However, you can migrate most or all of the source schema.If you perform a homogeneous migration, you can migrate the schema by using your engine's native tools to export and import only the schema. If your migration is heterogeneous, you can use the AWS Schema Conversion Tool (AWS SCT) to generate a complete target schema. For more information, see Getting started with AWS SCT.If AWS DMS meets your source and target DB engine's needs, see Setting up for AWS Database Migration Service. Then, confirm that the AWS DMS replication instance can connect to both the source and target databases. For more information about common networking scenarios, see Security in AWS Database Migration Service.When you're ready to migrate your data, see Getting Started with AWS Database Migration Service.

Question: Why did my CloudWatch alarm send me a notification after a single breached data point?

I configured my Amazon CloudWatch alarm to notify me when a metric is outside a defined threshold for multiple periods in a row. Why did my CloudWatch alarm notify me after only one breached period?Short descriptionYour CloudWatch alarm might be configured to treat a missing data point the same way as a breaching data point.You might have a series of non-breaching data points, followed by a single breaching data point, and then missing data points. Your alarm counts any missing data points following a breaching data point as additional breaches. This causes your alarm to notify you after only one data point breaches the defined threshold.When all data points are missing except one breaching data point, your alarm goes into ALARM state. This happens when the oldest available breaching data point in the alarm's evaluation range is at least as old as the value of Datapoints to Alarm, and all other more recent data points are breaching or missing. This causes an ALARM state even if the total number of breaching data points is lower than the Datapoints to Alarm setting, and even when missing data is being treated as missing.

ResolutionEdit your alarm to do one or more of the following:If you don't want to be notified after a single breach when data points may be intermittent, change how missing data points are evaluated to NOT BREACHING.Use a longer period for a datapoint.Increase the number of evaluation periods before the alarm is triggered.Related informationdescribe-alarm-historyput-metric-alarm
Question: How can I restore a corrupt registry on my EC2 Windows instance?

There is a corrupt registry on my Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Windows instance. How can I restore my registry Hive?Short descriptionA corrupt Windows registry can cause an EC2 Windows instance to freeze, slow down, restart randomly, or become unusable.Even without performing other backup utilities or configurations beforehand, Windows regularly and automatically makes its own backup of the registry in the following location:C:\Windows\System32\config\RegBackEC2Rescue can restore these previously created backups from the RegBack directory to the current registry of the EC2 instance.

ResolutionTo use EC2Rescue to restore to the latest registry backup, follow these steps:Warning: If this instance has an instance store   volume, you'll lose any data on it when the instance is stopped. Be sure to back up the contents of the volume before stopping it.Stop the inaccessible instance.Note: If you aren't using an Elastic IP Address, the public IP address will be released when you stop the instance.Create an EBS-backed Amazon Machine Image (AMI). From the Amazon EC2 console, select your instance. For Actions, choose Image, Create Image.Launch a new instance (Windows Server 2012 or later) in the same AWS Region and Availability Zone as the inaccessible instance. You will use this new instance as the recovery instance.Note: You can terminate the recovery instance after the corrupted registry is restored.Detach the boot volume of the corrupt instance.Attach the volume to the recovery instance as a secondary volume using the default settings in the Amazon EC2 console.Connect to the recovery instance using Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP).Download the EC2Rescue for Windows Server tool, and then extract the files.Run EC2Rescue on the working instance, and then choose Offline instance.Select the disk of the newly mounted volume, and then choose Next.Confirm the disk selection, and then choose Yes.For Choose offline instance option, choose Restore.Choose Restore registry from backup.EC2Rescue displays the date of the current and backup registries. Choose Restore, and then choose OK.Choose Next, and then choose Finish.Choose OK to exit.Detach the secondary volume from the recovery instance.Attach the volume to the corrupt instance.For Device, enter /dev/sda1.Start the corrupt instance, and then wait for the instance to boot and pass status checks. You can monitor the progress using the Get Instance Screenshot feature.Confirm that you can connect to the instance using RDP. You can then safely terminate the recovery instance to avoid unexpected charges.

Question: My Amazon EBS snapshots show no progress or receive the error "ConcurrentSnapshotLimitExceeded". How can I resolve this?

Multiple snapshots for my Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume are stuck at less than or equal to 100% progress in pending state. When I try to launch a new snapshot, I receive the error: ConcurrentSnapshotLimitExceeded. How can I resolve this issue?Short descriptionThe ConcurrentSnapshotLimitExceeded error might occur for the following reasons:You have too many snapshots running concurrently. When multiple snapshots are running concurrently, newer snapshots remain in the pending state until the pending snapshot with the oldest "Started" time moves to the completed state. A single gp2, io1, io2, or Magnetic volume can have up to five concurrent pending snapshots. A single st1 or sc1 volume can have one pending snapshot.You deleted an in-progress snapshot. You can delete EBS snapshots while they're in progress. If you then initiate a new snapshot, the displayed progress percentage might be stuck for an extended period of time. The deleted snapshot progress will continue until it's 100% complete.If you try to initiate more than the allowed concurrently pending snapshots (including any deleted while in progress), you receive the error message ConcurrentSnapshotLimitExceeded.

ResolutionWhen you receive this error, you've reached the limit on the number of concurrent snapshots you can create on the specified volume. Wait until the 'pending' requests complete. After all pending requests complete, check that you don't have snapshots that are in an incomplete state, such as 'error'. Snapshots in an incomplete state count against your concurrent snapshot limit.Note: As a best practice, allow sufficient time for the previous snapshot to complete. It's a best practice to wait 15 seconds between create-snapshot API requests for the same volume. For additional information, see Amazon EBS FAQs.

Question: Why was I charged $1 when I signed up for AWS?

I was charged $1 by AWS, but I haven’t used any services yet.

ResolutionWhen you add a new payment card to your AWS account, an authorization charge of $1 is sent to verify that the card is valid. The authorization charge is also used to verify that the card wasn't reported lost or stolen.For AWS customers, the temporary authorization charge is 1.00 USD. AWS doesn’t proceed with the charge, and the charge usually disappears within three to five business days. The authorization charges for prepaid credit cards might vary.For Amazon Web Services India Private Limited (AWS India) customers, the temporary authorization charge is 2.00 INR. While AWS does proceed with the charge, it's refunded to your account shortly after your account is activated.Note: If your bank displays charges in a currency other than USD or INR, the small charge might show on your statement as a different amount. The charge amount might be different because of currency conversion.If the charge was for a larger amount, see Why was I charged by Amazon Web Services when I don't have an AWS account?

Question: Why is it taking so long for my DNS changes to propagate in Route 53 and public resolvers?

I updated a DNS record set in my Amazon Route 53 public hosted zone. However, the changes are taking longer than I expected to propagate. Why is it taking so long for my DNS changes to propagate?Short descriptionDNS propagation is the amount of time that it takes for DNS changes to be updated across the internet. If the propagation isn't complete, clients won't see updated values after resolving the domain name.If you're experiencing incomplete propagation, then clients can't connect to your application. Some clients might also experience DNS-related errors, such as "Servfail", "NXDomain", or "Refused". In this scenario, clients can connect directly to the IP address of the application, but they can't connect through the domain name.

ResolutionThere are over 100 edge locations in Route 53 with DNS name servers that answer DNS queries from clients. When you update a record set in your hosted zone, the change is propagated to all Route 53 edge locations within 60 seconds. The edge locations are updated with the latest information from your hosted zone, and the edge locations respond to client queries accordingly. If a client sends a query directly to the domain name’s hosted zone name servers, then the client receives the correct response.Use the dig tool to confirm that the client received the desired response:dig <domain name> @<name server>Then, use any public DNS tool to check the domain’s resolution from different Regions. Some locations might show the updated value, while other locations still show the previous value. Or, you might find that the previous value is shown in all Regions. In both scenarios, propagation isn't complete and you must wait for the public DNS resolver caches to clear.If you updated your DNS settings but don't see the expected outcome, see the following troubleshooting steps based on your scenario:You transferred DNS service to Amazon Route 53 in the last 48 hours, so DNS is still using your previous DNS service.You recently transferred DNS service to Amazon Route 53, but you didn't update the name servers with the domain registrar.DNS resolvers still are using the old settings for the record.You have more than one hosted zone with the same name, and you updated the one that isn't associated with the domain.
