Hi Everyone,

I am having trouble with configuring my AWS EC2 instance. I recently launched a new instance but can’t seem to get the correct settings for SSH access. I’ve followed the steps to set up my security group and key pair, but I am still getting “Permission denied” errors when trying to connect via SSH.

Here’s what I’ve done so far ::-

- Created a new EC2 instance
- Associated a security group allowing inbound traffic on port 22
- Added my public key to the key pair

Can anyone suggest what might be going wrong or provide additional troubleshooting steps: ?? I searched this issue on internet and got these results [Troubleshoot Amazon EC2 instance launch issues - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/troubleshooting-launch.html) [AWS DevOps Tutorial](https://www.igmguru.com/blog/aws-devops-tutorial/) but couldn’t find pretty good solution.

Thanks in advance for your help…! 😀 🙏

David Miller 😀
