Fix EC2 Instance Setup Error
Budget: ₹600 – ₹8,000 INR
I’m stuck on an EC2 instance that refuses to launch correctly because of a configuration error during the initial setup. I need a seasoned AWS engineer to jump in, trace the root cause, and get the instance up and running without data loss or unnecessary downtime.
You will have console access (both AWS Console and SSH) and full permission to review IAM roles, instance details, AMI selection, storage mappings, user-data scripts, and anything else tied to the launch sequence. Once the underlying misconfiguration is identified, please apply the fix, verify that the instance boots cleanly, and provide a concise summary of what was changed so I can replicate or roll back if needed.
Deliverables
• Corrected EC2 configuration applied and instance booting normally
• Step-by-step notes outlining the issue, the fix you implemented, and any best-practice recommendations for future launches
Acceptance criteria
• Instance reaches running state with the intended AMI, volume, and networking intact
• SSH connection succeeds using my existing key pair
• Your summary is clear enough for me to repeat the setup without errors
If you’re confident with AWS CLI, CloudWatch logs, and common EC2 pitfalls, this should be a quick engagement. Let me know your availability, and we’ll get started immediately.
