Question: How do I resolve "the closest matching container-instance container-instance-id encountered error 'AGENT'" error for my service in Amazon ECS?

When I try to place a task in Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), I receive the following error: "[AWS service] was unable to place a task because no container instance met all of its requirements. The closest matching container-instance container-instance-id encountered error 'AGENT'."Short DescriptionYou can receive this error when the Amazon ECS container agent running on the container instance designated for task placement is disconnected.Note: If you didn't receive the preceding error message, choose an article based on one of the following error messages that you received:[AWS service] was unable to place a task because no container instance met all of its requirements.[AWS service] was unable to place a task because no container instance met all of its requirements. The closest matching container-instance container-instance-id has insufficient CPU units available.

ResolutionTo resolve this error, try the following troubleshooting steps:Check your agent logs1.    Connect to the container instance using SSH.2.    Check your agent logs at /var/log/ecs/ecs-agent.log.YYYY-MM-DD-HH.Note: Replace the timestamp with one that's appropriate for your logs.Verify that the agent is running on the instance1.    Connect to your EC2 instance using SSH.2.    To return a list of your containers, run the following command:docker psLook for a container running with the name ecs-agent. For more information, see Why is my Amazon ECS agent listed as disconnected?Restart the agentIf you're using the Amazon ECS-optimized AMI, stop and restart the agent with the appropriate command.For Amazon ECS-optimized Amazon Linux 2 AMIs, run the following command:sudo systemctl restart ecsFor Amazon ECS-optimized Amazon Linux AMIs, run the following command:sudo stop ecs && sudo start ecsRelated InformationHTTP Proxy ConfigurationUpdating the Amazon ECS Container Agent on an Amazon ECS-optimized AMIManually Updating the Amazon ECS Container Agent (for Non-Amazon ECS-Optimized AMIs)
Question: How can I transfer files from my Lightsail instance if I'm receiving "permission denied" errors?

I'm receiving permission denied errors when transferring files owned by the root user from my Amazon Lightsail instance. How do I resolve this?Short descriptionTo transfer files owned by the root user from your Lightsail instance, first copy the files to the home directory of the current user (for example, bitnami user). Then, change the ownership of the files and give the new owner permission to copy the files. By using this method, the permissions of the original file remain the same because you're copying a copy of the file.Note: To copy the files, the user must be able to assume root permission or be in the sudoers file.

ResolutionNote: The example in the Resolution section uses the following directory:/tmp/systemd-private-a244e4fc08504ae39236f514bdffecc1-chrony.service-AFB67vThe example file has the following permissions:drwx------  3 root    root    4096 Aug 17 04:24 systemd-private-a244e4fc08504ae39236f514bdffecc1-chrony.service-AFB67v1.    Connect to the Lightsail instance using SSH as your normal user. In this example, the user is bitnami.2.    Run the cp command to copy the file to the home directory of the user.sudo cp -R  systemd-private-a244e4fc08504ae39236f514bdffecc1-chrony.service-AFB67v/ /home/bitnami/# ls -al /home/bitnami/systemd-private-a244e4fc08504ae39236f514bdffecc1-chrony.service-AFB67v/total 12drwx------ 3 root    root    4096 Aug 17 05:02 .drwxr-xr-x 4 bitnami bitnami 4096 Aug 17 05:02 ..drwxr-xr-t 2 root    root    4096 Aug 17 05:02 tmpNote: You can run the cp command using sudo. Or, you can change to root user, and then run the command. Use the following command to change to root user:sudo -i3.    Change the ownership of the copied file so that the user can own the directory or files:sudo chown bitnami:bitnami /home/bitnami/systemd-private-a244e4fc08504ae39236f514bdffecc1-chrony.service-AFB67v/ -R4.    Transfer the copied directory or file. The following example transfers the file using Filezilla:Status:Directory listing of "/home/bitnami" successfulStatus:Using username "bitnami". Status:Connected to 3.xx.xx.1x2Status:Starting download of /home/bitnami/systemd-private-a244e4fc08504ae39236f514bdffecc1-chrony.service-AFB67v/tmp/testing.txtStatus:File transfer successful, transferred 230,756 bytes in 1 second

Question: Why do I get the error "Internet Gateway not attached to your Amazon VPC" when I try to turn on internet access for Amazon WorkSpaces?

When I turn on internet access for Amazon WorkSpaces using the AWS Management Console, I get an internet gateway error.

ResolutionIn addition to attaching the internet gateway to the WorkSpace VPC, the route tables of all WorkSpace subnets must route to the internet gateway. If any of the WorkSpace subnets aren’t public, then you receive the “Internet Gateway not attached to your Amazon VPC” error.Identify WorkSpaces subnetsThe Amazon WorkSpaces console displays only the subnets that are used to create the WorkSpaces directory. You can use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) to view the subnets that are used to create WorkSpaces. If necessary, install and configure the AWS CLI.Note: If you receive errors when running AWS CLI commands, make sure that you’re using the most recent version of the AWS CLI.Run the following command to retrieve the WorkSpaces SubnetIds. Replace REGIONCODE and d-directoryID with your environment details.aws workspaces describe-workspace-directories --region REGIONCODE --directory-ids d-directoryIDVerify subnet route tablesFor each SubnetId, verify the subnet route table. The subnets must be public. This means that the route table that's used by both subnets must have an entry for 0.0.0.0/0 traffic using an internet gateway.Note: If both subnets use different route tables, then verify that both route tables have the entry for 0.0.0.0/0 traffic using an internet gateway.For more information, see Add and remove routes from a route table.Note: If both subnets use a NAT gateway in their route table configuration, then don't turn on the Access to Internet setting. Instead, the WorkSpace accesses the internet using the configured NAT gateway.If the WorkSpace already existed before turning on Access to Internet, you must rebuild the WorkSpace before an Elastic IP address is automatically assigned.

Question: How do I update Lambda environment variables without hardcoding a new function version into my application?

I want to update my AWS Lambda function's environment variables without changing the Lambda Qualified Amazon Resource Name (Lambda Version ARN) in my client-side application. How do I avoid hardcoding a specific Lambda function version into my application each time I update my function's environment variables?Short descriptionYou can't change the environment variables or function code in a published Lambda function version. You can change only the current, unpublished function version ($LATEST). To avoid hardcoding a specific Lambda function version into your application, you can configure a Lambda alias ARN into your application instead. Each Lambda alias has a unique ARN and can be reconfigured once created to point to new versions of your function.

ResolutionNote: If you receive errors when running AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI) commands, make sure that you’re using the most recent AWS CLI version.Update the environment variables in your unpublished Lambda function versionTo use the Lambda consoleFollow the instructions in Using AWS Lambda environment variables.To use the update-function-configuration AWS CLI commandFollow the instructions in update-function-configuration (AWS CLI command reference).To use the Lambda API calls in the AWS SDKsFollow the instructions in Configuring environment variables with the API.Publish a new Lambda function version that includes the updated environment variablesFollow the instructions in Creating function versions.Create a new Lambda function alias (or use an existing alias) to point to your updated function version and configure it into your applicationNote: Lambda aliases can point only to a function version, not to another alias.To create a new function aliasFollow the instructions in Creating a function alias (Console). Then, point the alias to your updated function version by following the instructions in Alias routing configuration.To use an existing function aliasFollow the instructions in Alias routing configuration.Important: Make sure that you configure the Lambda alias's ARN into your client-side application, not the ARN of your new function version.Invoke your updated function version manuallyFollow the instructions in the Invoke the Lambda function section of Create a Lambda function with the console.Your Lambda function alias now points to the latest function version that's configured with the environment variables that you want to use.

Question: What should I do if Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager reports failed actions in Amazon CloudWatch metrics?

My Amazon CloudWatch metrics for Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager (Amazon DLM) shows a non-zero value or error. How can I troubleshoot this issue?Short descriptionYou can use CloudWatch metrics with Amazon DLM to track and diagnose lifecycle policies for Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) snapshots and EBS-backed AMI policies. For more information, see Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager now supports CloudWatch metrics. For a list of supported metrics by policy type, see Supported metrics.

ResolutionFollow these instructions to troubleshoot Amazon DLM non-zero values for CloudWatch metrics.Note: Amazon DLM policies in an error state don't publish metrics. For more information, see How can I troubleshoot problems using Amazon Data Lifecycle Manager?Check if a more recent API action completed successfullyIf the API call, such as CreateSnapshot, failed, then check to see if it succeeded on the following attempt. For example, if you have a daily schedule to create snapshots and the snapshot failed, then check to see if it is created the following day.To view the Amazon EBS snapshot timestamp, see view detailed information about your snapshots.Modify the policy scheduleThe time interval between consecutive policy schedules might be too long to process. For example, if you have a monthly policy schedule and the API call such as CreateSnapshot fails, then you must wait until the following month for the API action to make the next call. You can modify the Amazon DLM policy to weekly, and then set the schedule for the following day. After the snapshots are created, change the Amazon DLM policy back to monthly. For instructions to modify the policy, see Modify lifecycle policies.

Question: "I successfully created an SPF record in Route 53, but other mail providers aren't able to identify the record. How can I fix this?"

I successfully created an SPF record in Amazon Route 53. However, my mail providers can't identify the record, or SPF validation isn't working. How can I fix this?Short descriptionWith most mail providers, the SPF configuration isn't applied because SPF records were deprecated in April 2014. For more information, see RFC 7208 on the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) website. Instead of an SPF record, it's a best practice to create a TXT record that contains the applicable values.

ResolutionCreate a TXT record with the same content as the SPF record:Open the Route 53 console.Choose Hosted zones.Select the domain of the SPF record.Copy the value of the SPF record, and then choose Create record.For Routing policy, choose Simple routing.Choose Next.Choose Define simple record.For Record name, specify a name.For Value/Route traffic to, choose IP address or another value depending on the record type. Then, paste the SPF record value that you copied in step 4.For Record type, choose TXT.For TTL (seconds), specify a time to live value.Choose Define simple record.

Question: How do I move my Lightsail instance to another AWS Region?

How can I migrate my Amazon Lightsail instance from one AWS Region to another?Short descriptionMigrating a Lightsail instance directly from one Region to another isn't possible. Instead, you can create a snapshot of the Lightsail instance and copy it to another Region. Then, you can launch a new instance using the copied snapshot in the destination Region.Before you begin, note the following:You can use snapshots to create new resources or for data backup.The new Lightsail instance in the destination Region has a different private IPv4 or public IPv6 IP address. After launching the new instance, you must update all references to the old IP addresses (for example, in DNS entries) with the new IP addresses that are assigned to the new instance. This is because you can't migrate IP addresses to different Regions.

ResolutionSelect the Lightsail instance you want to migrate, and then create an instance snapshot from it. The new instance snapshot has the status of Snapshotting.Copy the newly created instance snapshot to a different Region.Select the instance snapshot in the destination Region, and then  create a new instance from the instance snapshot.
Question: Why is my AWS Config data not getting collected by the aggregator for my AWS account or AWS Organizations account?

I followed the instructions for setting up an aggregator with AWS Config. However, no data is being collected by the aggregator, or I received an error similar to the following:"AWS Config does not have permission from the source account to replicate data into an aggregator account. Authorize aggregator account to replicate data from source accounts and region."Short descriptionAWS Config aggregators are configured with AWS account IDs or AWS Organizations account IDs. You must specify the AWS Region for the aggregate data. If your aggregator source account is your AWS Organizations account, then authorization isn't required. If your aggregator source account is an individual AWS account, then authorization is required.Note: To collect data from an Organizations account, the aggregator must be created from the management account.

ResolutionFollow these instructions to add authorization for authorizing aggregator accounts using the AWS Console or the AWS Command Line interface (AWS CLI).**Important:**Before you begin, be sure that you installed and configured the AWS CLI. If you receive errors when running AWS CLI commands, make sure that you’re using the most recent version of the AWS CLI. Be sure that AWS Config and the AWS Config rules are set up in the same AWS Region as the source account.AWS Config consoleFollow the instructions to Add authorization for Aggregator accounts and Regions.AWS CLIFollow the instructions for Authorizing aggregator accounts to collect AWS Config configuration and compliance data using the AWS CLI.Note: If you select multiple AWS Regions when setting up the aggregator, be sure to authorize the aggregator request for each Region.For more information, see Authorizing Aggregator Accounts to Collect AWS Config Configuration and Compliance Data Using the Console.

Question: Why can't I modify my Amazon EBS volume?

I'm trying to modify my Amazon Elastic Block Store (Amazon EBS) volume, but I can't.

ResolutionWhen you modify an Amazon EBS volume, you might receive the following error:Modify Volume Request Failed for volume vol-#######You've reached the maximum modification rate per volume limit. Wait at least 6 hours between modifications per EBS volume.There are limitations and considerations to modifying an Amazon EBS volume, including waiting at least six hours between modifications.Also, you might notice that the Modify button is grayed out. This is because the volume is in the "optimizing" state. When a volume is in the "optimizing" state, you can't modify it. For more information, see Why is my Amazon EBS volume stuck in the Optimizing state when I modify the volume?If you can't wait six hours to modify your volume, then complete the following steps.Note: The following resolution requires instance downtime.Create a volume from the snapshot of the original volume.Note: If you don't have a snapshot of the original volume, then first create one.Detach the original volume from its instance, and replace it with the volume that you created from the snapshot.Note: Make sure that the instance is in the "stopped" state to prevent any new data from being written to the volume.
