[cs615asa] NetBSD EC2 not working?

[Elliot Wasem]

Hey Jan,

I was thinking that, but looking at the listing for the t1.micro, under heading "Processor architecture" it says "64-bit (x86), 32-bit (x86)", so for all intents and purposes it should be working. It can't be that I'm running too slim resources as I tried a bulkier machine (64-bit x86 only) with the 64-bit ami, and it was still failing. Just to make sure I had permissions on things, I gave Ubuntu 18.04 Server ami a shot where everything else was the same on the instance configuration, and it still failed.
My only other thought is that perhaps since I have an AWS Educate account, I'm not allowed to use community images? I'm going to email aws support and see if they can help. I'll post the results here so if anyone else has the same issues they can reference my solution.
Best,
Elliot Wasem
