Connection via SSH fails when running deploy_datalab.py about incubator-datalab

[leonidfrolov]

Hello Dylan,
you tried to deploy from master branch, right?
Please try to add Termination protection to SSN instance when it is created, and try to establish SSH connection from your VM to said instance with provided key and ubuntu user.
You can also try to run deploy_datalab.py from another EC2 instance, as some networking misconfiguration of your VM on Host machine can block connection.

Is there any chance that some policy removes security group rule with allowed inbound traffic from 0.0.0.0/0?

If you already have some existing VPC, subnet, security group that you use to successfully connect to EC2 instances, you can try to use them with additional options
--aws_vpc_id vpc-xxxxxxxx
--aws_subnet_id subnet-xxxxxxxx
--aws_security_groups_ids 'sg-xxxxxxxx,sg-xxxxxxxx'

Hi,

I was actually deploying from develop branch as that is what is specified in the documentation/README.md.

I managed to get around this error by using another EC2 instance and putting the ssh key into ~/ubuntu/.ssh and specifying this location as a parameter to the deploy_datalab.py script.

Thank you.
