Deploy EC2 instances in EC2-VPC platform
Description
Deploy EC2 instances on the AWS EC2 Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) platform instead of the older EC2 Classic platform. EC2 instances are non-compliant if they are on the EC2 Classic platform.
Remediation
- Log in to the AWS Management Console.
- Select Services.
- Select EC2.
- Select EC2 Dashboard.
- In the top right corner, under Account Attributes, select Supported Platforms.
- If Support Platforms displays only VPC, the account only supports the EC2 VPC platform, requiring no further action.
- If Support Platforms displays EC2 and VPC, the account supports both the EC2 VPC and EC2 Classic.
- Find all EC2 instances on the EC2 Classic platform.
- Select Instances. Select an instance by clicking the checkbox for the instance row.
- In the Details tab, if there is no value for VPC ID, this instance is on the EC2 Classic platform.
- Migrate EC2 Classic instances to the AWS EC2 VPC platform. For more information: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/vpc-migrate.html.
- Repeat steps 8-11 for each region.
