Timeout error when trying to connect to my EC2 Instance

Question

I cannot SSH into my instance - Operation timed out. The permissions are all okay. Can someone help me as what could be the probable reason?

Answer 1

The best way to solve the error would be as to build everything from begining so that everything works fine. Building everything back I had to make sure to create EVERYTHING. This included:

• Create VPC
  • CIDR: 10.0.0.0/24
• Create Internet Gateway
• Attach Internet Gateway to VPC
• Create Routing Table
• Add Route to Routing Table
  • Destination: 0.0.0.0/0
  • Target: <Internet Gateway from earlier>
• Create Subnet
  • CIDR: 10.0.0.0/24
  • Routing Table: <Routing Table from earlier

You can follow the blog on Amazon VPC Tutorial to understand how you can build everything from scratch and properly.
