EC2 timeout due to inactivity

0 votes

The bad thing is that SSH command is closed after some time due to my inactivity and I'm no longer able to see what's going on with my instances. How can I disable/increase timeout in Amazon Linux machines?

You can set a keep alive option in your ~/.ssh/config file on your computer's home dir:

ServerAliveInterval 50

Amazon AWS usually drops your connection after only 60 seconds of inactivity, so this option will ping the server every 50 seconds and keep you connected indefinitely. This way even though there is no activity on your instance your instance won't close.

Hope this helps.
