Question: How do I change the name on my AWS account?

How do I change my AWS account name?Short descriptionYour AWS account name is the name that appears in the AWS Management Console next to your account ID. You choose this name when you first create the account, but you can update the name through the AWS Billing and Management console.Changing an account name is a task that requires root user credentials. Therefore, only the AWS account root user can modify the AWS account name.Note: The root user credentials are different than the account name. The root user logs in with the email and password that were used to first create the account. Unlike the account name, the root user identity can't be changed.To change the name of an AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) user, see Renaming an IAM user.Resolution1.    Use your root user credentials to sign in to the AWS account that you want to modify.2.    Choose your name from the navigation bar, and then select Account.3.    Next to Account Settings, choose Edit.            Note: If you aren't signed in as the root user, then the Edit option isn't available.4.    Enter the new AWS account name, and then choose Update.Note: If your AWS Organizations has service control policies (SCPs) that restrict access to aws-portal, then this method doesn't work. Instead of choosing Account in the AWS Management Console, choose Security Credentials. Additionally, make sure that the iam:UpdateAccountName action isn't restricted by your SCPs.The updated account name can take up to four hours to appear in the AWS Management Console.

Question: How can I modify the storage capacity of my Storage Gateway?

I want to modify the storage capacity for my gateway on AWS Storage Gateway. How can I remove, resize, or allocate disks to my gateway?Short descriptionYou can modify the storage capacity on your gateway by adding, allocating, or removing cache disks.Note: These steps apply only to Volume Gateway or Tape Gateway. For managing FSx File Gateway or S3 File Gateway, follow the steps on maintaining a file gateway.

ResolutionRemoving or decreasing storage capacityDon't remove disks that are allocated as cache disks for an existing gateway—doing this can break your gateway's functionality. You can't decrease the size of a cache disk after it's allocated to an existing gateway. Instead, you must create a new gateway with the cache space that you need. Then, you can migrate your data to the new gateway. Use the Storage Gateway Console to migrate data on Volume Gateway. Use the Virtual Tape Library (VTL) interface to migrate data on Tape Gateway.For disks that are allocated as upload buffer for an existing gateway, you must first shut down the gateway before removing the disk. Be sure to follow the proper steps for shutting down a gateway. If you directly shut down the instance without following these steps, it can prevent access to your gateway for days. After the gateway is shut down, you can decrease the disk size or remove it. Then, you can allocate a new disk with the reduced upload buffer size.Note: When decreasing disk size or removing disks, your gateway must still have at least one buffer disk with a minimum of 150 GB.Increasing storage capacityDon't expand disks that you previously allocated as upload buffer or cache storage for your gateway. To increase the storage capacity of your gateway, add new disks to the gateway instead.Before you add more storage to your gateway, review the minimum recommended capacity for your use case:Upload buffer: It's a best practice to allocate at least 150 GiB of upload buffer. Use the following formula to determine the size that you should allocate:(Application throughput (MB/s) - Network throughput to AWS (MB/s) * Compression factor) * Duration of writes (s) = Upload buffer (MB)Note: 1 GiB equals 1073.741824 MB. Even if this formula returns less than 150 GiB for your use case, it's still a best practice to allocate at least 150 GiB.Cache storage: For tape and volume gateways, it's a best practice to allocate cache storage that's at least 1.1 times the upload buffer size. Because file gateways don't have an upload buffer in their architecture, it's a best practice to allocate at least 150 GiB of cache storage.After you determine the recommended storage capacity for your use case, use the Storage Gateway console to allocate the appropriate local disk capacity.
Question: Why did my CloudWatch canary fail with the error "Node is either not visible or not an HTMLElement"?

I created an Amazon CloudWatch canary using the GUI Workflow Builder. However, my canary failed and I received the following error: "Node is either not visible or not an HTMLElement". How can I troubleshoot this error?ResolutionWhen creating a CloudWatch canary, the "Node is either not visible or not an HTMLElement" error is typically caused by:Using a script that references a non-existent element (Wrong selector)Using a script that references an invisible element (Correct selector but the element is invisible)Note: If you use a global selector as a class element in your script, the selector uses the first element in the resulting array by default. If the first element has a "display:none" CSS value, the element will be invisible.To fix this error, follow the steps in How can I identify a DOM selector or XPath to use in a CloudWatch canary GUI Workflow Builder? Be sure to use a selector that has a result in a desired element.

Question: Why can’t I create a CNAME record in Route 53?

I'm getting errors when trying to create a CNAME record in Amazon Route 53.

ResolutionError: InvalidChangeBatch 400: RRSet of type CNAME with DNS name example.com. is not permitted at apex in zone example.comThe preceding error occurs when creating a CNAME record for an apex domain, such as example.com.DNS protocol doesn't allow creation of a CNAME record for the top node of a DNS namespace (the zone apex). For example, if you register the DNS name example.com, then the zone apex is example.com. You can't create a CNAME record for example.com. But, you can create CNAME records for www.example.com, newproduct.example.com, and so on.To avoid this error, create an alias record for your apex domain. The record can point to your resources, such as your Amazon CloudFront distribution, load balancer, another record in the same hosted zone, and so on.Note: Alias records that have the same name as the hosted zone (the zone apex) can't route traffic to a CNAME record.For more information, see How do I create alias records for services hosted in AWS?Error: InvalidChangeBatch 400: RRSet of type CNAME with DNS name test.example.com. is not permitted as it conflicts with other records with the same DNS name in zoneA CNAME record can't coexist with any other data. A CNAME record set for a subdomain name can't have an MX record, an A record, or a TXT record for that subdomain. Conversely, if there's an MX record for a subdomain, then you can't have a CNAME record for that subdomain.To avoid this restriction, delete the conflicting DNS record, if it's not in use. Or, create an A-alias record pointing the subdomain to your resource, such as a CloudFront distribution, and so on. An example of a subdomain is test.example.com.Error: Bad request.

Question: How can I add my own security group to my Elastic Beanstalk environment?

I want to add my own security group to my AWS Elastic Beanstalk environment.

Short descriptionBy default, Elastic Beanstalk creates a security group for your environment, but you can also add your own security group to your environment. To do this, add one or more configuration files to a .ebextensions directory in your application deployment package. The .ebextensions make Elastic Beanstalk attach a pre-existing security group to your Auto Scaling group.Resolution1.    Use a pre-existing security group, or create a new security group.2.    Note the name of your security group (For example, ebtest).3.    Create a .ebextensions/ directory in your local application code directory.Note: For more information, see Advanced environment customization with configuration files (.ebextensions).4.    In the .ebextensions/ directory, create a file named securitygroup.config. See the following example:option_settings:  - namespace: aws:autoscaling:launchconfiguration    option_name: SecurityGroups    value: ebtest5.    Deploy your code and the new .ebextensions/ directory together as a new application version to your Elastic Beanstalk environment.After deployment, your security group is attached to your Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances. Your environment is now successfully using your existing security group in addition to the default security group.Note: If you use Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) with Elastic Beanstalk so that your instances are launched within a VPC, specify security group IDs instead of security group names.

Question: How can I find the resource that currently owns an unknown IP addresses in my Amazon VPC?

I found unknown IP addresses in my Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) flow logs or firewall logs. The unknown IP addresses aren't assigned to an instance. How can I find the resource that currently owns these unknown IP addresses in my Amazon VPC?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.Several resources can create elastic network interfaces in your Amazon VPC. To find the network interface that owns an IP address:Open the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) console.In the navigation pane, choose Network Interfaces.Click in the search box, and then choose Primary private IPv4 address. If you're looking for a public IP, then choose Public IPv4 address when you click in the search box.Enter the IP address that you're looking for in the search box. The network interfaces that meet your search criteria appear.Note: You can also enter the IP address into the search box without selecting a filter.In the bottom pane, read the Description of the network interface to identify the resource that owns it.Or, use the AWS CLI to find the network interface that owns an IP address:aws ec2 describe-network-interfaces --filters Name=addresses.private-ip-address,Values=IPv4 addressNotes:Replace IPv4 address with the IP address that you're investigating.Confirm that you have the correct Region set in the configuration. Otherwise, manually specify the Region with the --region parameter.Related informationdescribe-network-interfaces
Question: Why am I unable to connect to a port on an EC2 Windows instance?

I can't connect to an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Windows instance on a certain port. How do I determine if the port is open?Short descriptionThe following issues can prevent a connection to an EC2 Windows instance on a specific port:The service that uses the port isn't running on the instance.Windows Firewall is blocking traffic to the port.A security group is blocking traffic.Network access control lists (NACLs) are blocking traffic.Incorrect routes are in the route table or local Windows routes.

ResolutionTo identify the source of the connectivity issue, follow these steps:1.    Verify that the application is running properly and is listening on the correct network port. If the application is stopped, start it.To accept traffic on a port, an EC2 Windows instance must host an application or service that listens on the specified port. From the EC2 Windows instance that is hosting the service, run the netstat command to display active connections and ports.2.    Perform a port test using Telnet or Test-NetConnection locally on the instance to confirm that the port can be connected to locally.Using a command prompt, enter the following:telnet <Private IP> <port number>Using Windows PowerShell, enter the following:tnc <Private IP> -port <port number>If the port test fails, check the antivirus and security software that runs on the instance. Set up an allow list for the application or service that uses this port on the antivirus or security software, and then test again.3.    Repeat step 2 using a different instance. If possible, choose an instance on the same subnet. If the port test on another instance also fails, the issue might be with the Operating System (OS) or EC2 instance configuration.Troubleshoot OS issuesVerify that Windows Firewall, and any other security software that runs on the instance, allows the required port.Troubleshoot EC2 instance configuration issuesVerify that the security groups associated with the instance allow inbound or outbound traffic on the specified port.Verify that network ACLs have rules to allow inbound or outbound traffic on the specified port.Check the route table to determine if there is a route from the source and destination EC2 Windows instance.

Question: Why did I receive an Amazon GuardDuty finding type UnauthorizedAccess:IAMUser/TorIPCaller or Recon:IAMUser/TorIPCaller alerts for my IAM user or role?

Amazon GuardDuty detected alerts for the UnauthorizedAccess:IAMUser/TorIPCaller or Recon:IAMUser/TorIPCaller finding types.

Short descriptionThe UnauthorizedAccess:IAMUser/TorIPCaller and Recon:IAMUser/TorIPCaller finding types indicate that your AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) identity credentials or access keys were used to make an API operation to AWS from a Tor exit node IP address. For example, you can get this error when trying to create an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, list access key IDs, or modify IAM permissions. These finding types can also indicate that IAM identity credentials or access keys have been associated unauthorized activity. For more information, see Finding types.

ResolutionUse GuardDuty to locate the IAM access key, and AWS CloudTrail to identify the AWS API activity.Follow the instructions for Locating and analyzing GuardDuty findings.In the findings detail pane, note the IAM access key ID.Follow the instructions to search for IAM access key API activity using CloudTrail.If you confirm that the activity is a legitimate use of AWS credentials, then you can:Ignore the finding type.Archive the finding type.Create suppression rules to automatically archive new finding types.If you confirm that the activity isn't a legitimate use of AWS credentials, it's a security best practice to assume that all AWS credentials are compromised. Follow these instructions to remediate compromised AWS credentials.For more information, see What do I do if I notice unauthorized activity in my AWS account?Related informationWhat to do if you inadvertently expose an AWS access key
Question: Why is IKE (phase 1 of my VPN tunnel) failing in Amazon VPC?

When creating a virtual private network (VPN) in Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC), the Internet Key Exchange (IKE) phase of my configuration fails.

ResolutionCheck the AWS Virtual Private Network (AWS VPN) configuration to confirm the following:Meets all customer gateway requirements.Uses the appropriate IKE version for your use case (AWS supports both IKEv1 and IKEv2).Uses the appropriate lifetime in seconds for IKE (phase1) for your IKE version. To configure tunnel options based on your requirements, see Tunnel options for your Site-to-Site VPN connection.Has a customer gateway device that's configured with the correct pre-shared key (PSK) or valid certificates.Can successfully ping AWS Virtual Private Network (AWS VPN) endpoints from your customer gateway.If acceleration is turned on for an AWS Site-to-Site VPN connection, then be sure that NAT-Traversal is turned on for the customer gateway device.If the customer gateway device is behind a network address translation (NAT) device, then make sure of the following:UDP packets on port 500 (and port 4500, if NAT-traversal is used) are allowed to pass between your network and the AWS VPN endpoints.The intermediate internet service providers (ISPs) aren't blocking UDP port 500 (or port 4500, if NAT-Traversal is used).Note: It's a best practice to turn off NAT-traversal if your customer gateway isn't behind a port address translation (PAT) device.

Question: What's the Amazon SNS IP address range?

I need the IP address range of Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) to allow notifications to be delivered to my endpoints. What's the IP address range of Amazon SNS?ResolutionThere is no subset of AWS IP address ranges specific to Amazon SNS.To add Amazon SNS to an allow list for public HTTP or HTTPS endpointsAdd all the current AWS IP address ranges to your ingress rules.Note: Notifications aren't always sourced from IP addresses in the same AWS Region as their associated topic. You must include the AWS IP address ranges for all Regions.To add Amazon SNS to an allow list for private endpointsFollow the instructions in How do I subscribe a private HTTP or HTTPS endpoint to my Amazon SNS topic?Important: When fanning out messages from Amazon SNS to HTTP and HTTPS endpoints, it's a best practice to verify the authenticity of the messages.

For an example message validation script, see How do I verify the authenticity of Amazon SNS messages that are sent to HTTP and HTTPS endpoints?Related informationFanout to HTTP/S endpoints
Question: My Direct Connect connection is down and the Tx/Rx optical signal receives no or low light readings. How can I troubleshoot this?

My AWS Direct Connect connection is down and the Tx/Rx optical signal receives no or low light readings.

ResolutionFollow these steps to troubleshoot the Direct Connect connection.Unable to connect to a Direct Connect deviceIf you can't establish a physical connection to a Direct Connect device, then follow these instructions to troubleshoot layer 1 (physical) issues.Check the Letter of Authorization and Connecting Facility Assignment (LOA-CFA)If the Direct Connect connection is not up after 90 days, then the LOA-CFA expires and AWS sends you an email alert. To refresh the LOA-CFA with a new issue date, download the LOA-CFA. Then, send the LOA-CFA to your network or colocation provider to order a cross connect for you. If your cross connect has been ordered, contact the colocation provider to request a cross connect completion notice. Then, compare the ports with those listed on your LOA-CFA. You can also request a written report for the Tx/Rx optical signal across the cross connect from your colocation provider.For more information, see Requesting cross connects at AWS Direct Connect locations.Use Amazon CloudWatch metrics to check for the fiber connection traffic health and connection stateYou can use CloudWatch metrics to monitor Direct Connect connections and virtual interfaces. For Direct Connect dedicated connections, check the ConnectionLightLevelTx and ConnectionLightLevelRx metrics to determine the health of the egress and ingress traffic. A good light signal is within the range of -14.4 dBm and 2.50 dBm. You can filter Direct Connect data using the OpticalLaneNumber dimension. For more information, see Direct Connect available dimensions.To determine the connection state, check the ConnectionState metric. 1 indicates up and 0 indicates down.For more information, see Viewing Direct Connect CloudWatch metrics.

Question: How can I connect to an Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible DB instance using Kerberos authentication?

I want to connect to my Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition DB instance or cluster using Kerberos authentication.

Short descriptionPrerequisitesBefore connecting to your Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible instance using Kerberos authentication, do the following:You must be logged into the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Instance domain that's joined with AWS Directory Service for Microsoft Active Directory. Or, you must be logged in to an on-premises Active Directory domain trusted with AWS Managed Microsoft AD. The user must be part of the domain, for example youruser@example.com, before you can connect to the Aurora Database with Kerberos authentication. To set up Active Directory, see Create and configure users. If you are using the on-premises option, then you must set up TRUST between the on-premises Active Directory and AWS Managed Microsoft AD.Create an Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible DB instance with the authentication mode set to Kerberos authentication. Or use an existing DB instance with this authentication mode. Make sure that your DB instance runs in the same VPC as the AWS Managed Microsoft AD.Create a user in AWS Managed Microsoft AD. This user must match the database user that you create in the next step (youruser@example.com).Create a user (youruser@example.com) in the database with the required permissions to log in using AWS Managed Microsoft AD authentication.Install the pgAdmin and PostgreSQL client.

ResolutionConnect to your DB instance using Kerberos authentication (Windows)Open pgAdmin.Create a new server connection and name the server.In the Connection tab, enter the Aurora cluster endpoint for Host name/address. Enter the port number if not the default, and the user name (youruser@example.com). Note: You don't need a password if you're using the Kerberos authentication option available in pgAdmin.Save the server connection.You can now connect to the Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible instance using Kerberos authentication.Connect to your DB instance using Kerberos authentication (Linux)Log in to the Linux client as the AD user (youruser@example.com), and then run this command to connect:psql -h yourrdsinstance.region.rds.amazonaws.com -U  youruser@example.com -d yourdatabase
