I did something stupid, I got a new laptop and copied everything over
to the new one, then wiped the old one clean. Then I realized that I forgot
to copy the private key out of .ssh that I use
to connect
to my AWS EBS backed instance.
So I can't log in
to my custom AMI. So I created a new Volume from the Snapshot of the AMI, then started up a public instance and attached the Volume
to it, edit the sshd_config
to allow for password log in. Unmounted the volume, detached it, made a snapshot of it, then made a new AMI from the snapshot.
The new AMI launches, but never passes the Status Checks and is not reachable.
What am I doing wrong? Or alternatively how can I fix my problem?
Edit: Adding some of the console output
