How to connect to outside world from amazon vpc?

Question

I have amazon VPC set through wizard as \"public only network\", so all my instances are in public subnet.

Instances within VPC that have Elastic IP assigned connect

Answer 1

Security Groups -> Outbound

*   ALL Traffic ALL     ALL     0.0.0.0/0   Allow

Please allow Outbound, if you want to connect to external servers like google.com or even want to update- sudo apt-get update

You can allow the outbound using AWS front-end goto Security Groups -> Outbound

Make sure you select the right group for your AWS instance
