CONNECT TO THE EC2 SERIAL CONSOLE

PDFRSS

You can connect to the serial console of your EC2 instance by using the Amazon
EC2 console or via SSH. After connecting to the serial console, you can use it
for troubleshooting boot, network configuration, and other issues. For more
information about troubleshooting, see Troubleshoot your Linux instance using
the EC2 Serial Console.

CONSIDERATIONS

 * Only 1 active serial console connection is supported per instance.

 * The serial console connection typically lasts for 1 hour unless you
   disconnect from it. However, during system maintenance, Amazon EC2 will
   disconnect the serial console session.

 * It takes 30 seconds to tear down a session after you've disconnected from the
   serial console in order to allow a new session.

 * Supported serial console port for Linux: ttyS0

 * When you connect to the serial console, you might observe a slight drop in
   your instance’s throughput.

 * Connect using your own key and SSH client

CONNECT USING THE BROWSER-BASED CLIENT


You can connect to your EC2 instance's serial console by using the browser-based
client. You do this by selecting the instance in the Amazon EC2 console and
choosing to connect to the serial console. The browser-based client handles the
permissions and provides a successful connection.

EC2 serial console works from most browsers, and supports keyboard and mouse
input.

Before connecting, make sure you have completed the prerequisites.

TO CONNECT TO YOUR INSTANCE'S SERIAL PORT USING THE BROWSER-BASED CLIENT (AMAZON
EC2 CONSOLE)

 1. Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.

 2. In the navigation pane, choose Instances.

 3. Select the instance and choose Actions, Monitor and troubleshoot, EC2 Serial
    Console, Connect.
    
    Alternatively, select the instance and choose Connect, EC2 Serial Console,
    Connect.
    
    An in-browser terminal window opens.

 4. Press Enter. If a login prompt returns, you are connected to the serial
    console.
    
    If the screen remains black, you can use the following information to help
    resolve issues with connecting to the serial console:
    
     * Check that you have configured access to the serial console. For more
       information, see Configure access to the EC2 Serial Console.
    
     * Use SysRq to connect to the serial console. SysRq does not require that
       you connect via the browser-based client. For more information, see
       Troubleshoot your Linux instance using SysRq.
    
     * Restart getty. If you have SSH access to your instance, then connect to
       your instance using SSH, and restart getty using the following command.
       
       [ec2-user ~]$ sudo systemctl restart serial-getty@ttyS0
    
     * Reboot your instance. You can reboot your instance by using SysRq, the
       EC2 console, or the AWS CLI. For more information, see Troubleshoot your
       Linux instance using SysRq or Reboot your instance.

 5. At the login prompt, enter the user name of the password-based user that you
    set up previously, and then press Enter.

 6. At the Password prompt, enter the password, and then press Enter.
    
    You are now logged onto the instance and can use the serial console for
    troubleshooting.


CONNECT USING YOUR OWN KEY AND SSH CLIENT


You can use your own SSH key and connect to your instance from the SSH client of
your choice while using the serial console API. This enables you to benefit from
the serial console capability to push a public key to the instance.

Before connecting, make sure you have completed the prerequisites.

TO CONNECT TO AN INSTANCE'S SERIAL CONSOLE USING SSH

 1. Push your SSH public key to the instance to start a serial console session
    
    Use the send-serial-console-ssh-public-key command to push your SSH public
    key to the instance. This starts a serial console session.
    
    If a serial console session has already been started for this instance, the
    command fails because you can only have one session open at a time. It takes
    30 seconds to tear down a session after you've disconnected from the serial
    console in order to allow a new session.
    
    $ aws ec2-instance-connect send-serial-console-ssh-public-key \
        --instance-id i-001234a4bf70dec41EXAMPLE \
        --serial-port 0 \
        --ssh-public-key file://my_key.pub \
        --region us-east-1

 2. CONNECT TO THE SERIAL CONSOLE USING YOUR PRIVATE KEY
    
    Use the ssh command to connect to the serial console before the public key
    is removed from the serial console service. You have 60 seconds before it is
    removed.
    
    Use the private key that corresponds to the public key.
    
    The user name format is instance-id.port0, which comprises the instance ID
    and port 0. In the following example, the user name is
    i-001234a4bf70dec41EXAMPLE.port0.
    
    The endpoint of the serial console service is different for each Region. See
    the EC2 Serial Console endpoints and fingerprints table for each Region's
    endpoint. In the following example, the serial console service is in the
    us-east-1 Region.
    
    $ ssh -i my_key i-001234a4bf70dec41EXAMPLE.port0@serial-console.ec2-instance-connect.us-east-1.aws

 3. (OPTIONAL) VERIFY THE FINGERPRINT
    
    When you connect for the first time to the serial console, you are prompted
    to verify the fingerprint. You can compare the serial console fingerprint
    with the fingerprint that's displayed for verification. If these
    fingerprints don't match, someone might be attempting a "man-in-the-middle"
    attack. If they match, you can confidently connect to the serial console.
    
    The following fingerprint is for the serial console service in the us-east-1
    Region. For the fingerprints for each Region, see EC2 Serial Console
    endpoints and fingerprints.
    
    SHA256:dXwn5ma/xadVMeBZGEru5l2gx+yI5LDiJaLUcz0FMmw
    
    NOTE
    
    The fingerprint only appears the first time you connect to the serial
    console.

 4. Press Enter. If a prompt returns, you are connected to the serial console.
    
    If the screen remains black, you can use the following information to help
    resolve issues with connecting to the serial console:
    
     * Check that you have configured access to the serial console. For more
       information, see Configure access to the EC2 Serial Console.
    
     * Use SysRq to connect to the serial console. SysRq does not require that
       you connect via SSH. For more information, see Troubleshoot your Linux
       instance using SysRq.
    
     * Restart getty. If you have SSH access to your instance, then connect to
       your instance using SSH, and restart getty using the following command.
       
       [ec2-user ~]$ sudo systemctl restart serial-getty@ttyS0
    
     * Reboot your instance. You can reboot your instance by using SysRq, the
       EC2 console, or the AWS CLI. For more information, see Troubleshoot your
       Linux instance using SysRq or Reboot your instance.

 5. At the login prompt, enter the user name of the password-based user that you
    set up previously, and then press Enter.

 6. At the Password prompt, enter the password, and then press Enter.
    
    You are now logged onto the instance and can use the serial console for
    troubleshooting.


EC2 SERIAL CONSOLE ENDPOINTS AND FINGERPRINTS
