EC2 instance should be deployed in EC2-VPC platform​

Description​

We recommend deploying EC2 instances on the AWS EC2 VPC platform instead of the older EC2 Classic platform. When EC2 instances on the EC2 Classic platform are found, violations are reported.

Remediation​

  1. Log in to the AWS Management Console.

  2. Select Services.

  3. Select EC2.

  4. Select EC2 Dashboard.

  5. In the top right corner, under Account Attributes, check Supported Platforms.

  6. If Support Platforms displays only VPC, the account is configured to only support the EC2 VPC platform. No further action is required.

  7. If Support Platforms displays EC2 and VPC, the account is configured to support both the EC2 VPC and EC2 Classic.

  8. Find all EC2 instances on the EC2 Classic platform.

  9. Select Instances. Select an instance by clicking the check box for the instance row.

  10. In the Details tab, if there is no value for VPC ID, this instance is on the EC2 Classic platform.

  11. Migrate EC2 Classic instances to the AWS EC2 VPC platform. For more information: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/vpc-migrate.html

  12. Repeat steps 8-11 for each region.
