I want to connect to my EC2 instance using IAM user instead of root user. I can log in to web console using IAM user's credentials. I think ec2-instance-connect is a solution to it as highlighted by Chris. – SauriBabu Jun 22 at 3:37

This is official Amazon Web Services (AWS) documentation for Amazon Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2). This guide explains the infrastructure provided by the Amazon EC2 web service, and steps you through how to configure and manage your virtual servers using the AWS Management Console (an easy-to-use graphical interface), the Amazon EC2 API, or web I am looking for where the default Amazon AMI linux image sets up the privileges for the default ec2-user account. After logging in with this account I can use sudo successfully. Checking via the sudoers file, which I open by running visudo (with no other options) I see a few default settings and permissions for root ALL ALL Integrate ServiceNow instance with Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). Manage Amazon instances, Amazon Machine Images (AMIs), Key Pairs, and Tags from your ServiceNow instance. Request apps on the Store. Visit the ServiceNow Store website to view all the available apps and for information about submitting requests to the store. EC2 encourages scalable deployment of applications by providing a web service through which a user can boot an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) to configure a virtual machine, which Amazon calls an "instance", containing any software desired. It is usually ec2-user but if you are using RHEL5 distro it can be root and if you are using the Ubuntu the user name will be ubuntu - which was my case. So alternatively try those: ssh -i my-pem-file.pem ubuntu@my-ec2-instance-address for Ubuntu. or. ssh -i my-pem-file.pem root@my-ec2-instance-address for RHEL5. Hope it helps! The config script is run by the user from the EC2 instance with root access. It installs Java onto the instance, fetches the startup script and sets it to run when the machine starts up.

[ec2-user ~]$ sudo usermod -a -G www ec2-user 3- To refresh your permissions and include the new www group, log out: [ec2-user ~]$ exit 4- Log back in again and verify that the www group exists with the groups: [ec2-user ~]$ groups > ec2-user wheel www 5- Change the group ownership of the /var/www directory and its contents to the www group

enables a user to log in to an Amazon EC2 Linux host with an SSH client, without having to enter a password. Use Key Pairs for Amazon EC2 Linux Logins For Amazon EC2 Linux instances, the default user name is ec2-user. The public key is stored on the target instance (the instance that the user is requesting access to) in the ec2-user home

For Amazon Linux variants, such as the Amazon ECS-optimized AMI, use the following command to install scp: [ec2-user ~]$ sudo yum install -y openssh-clients To transfer files in the other direction (from your Amazon EC2 instance to your local computer), reverse the order of the host parameters.

When you spin up an instance on EC2, you base the instance on an “Amazon Machine Image”, or AMI. In ssh ec2-user@[ec2 instance ip] This morning I tried the same and couldn't connect. But doing. ssh -i ~/.ssh/[keypair name] ec2-user@[ec2 instance ip] gets me in. Using ssh-add on the key pair again gets me in. I'm guessing ssh-add only works within the shell I'd issued it in. When I closed the terminal window and opened another I no longer had
