1. Login to the AWS Management Console.
2. Navigate to the EC2 dashboard.
3. In the left-hand navigation menu, select “Classic Wizard”.
4. Click on “Launch Instance” to launch a new instance.
5. Choose the appropriate AMI and instance type for your needs.
6. In the “Configure Instance Details” section, select the VPC that you want to launch the instance in.
7. In the “Advanced Details” section, expand the “Network Interfaces” section and select the appropriate subnet.
8. Click “Next” to proceed to the “Add Storage” section and configure your storage needs.
9. Continue through the remaining configuration steps until you reach the “Review Instance Launch” page.
10. Review your instance settings and click “Launch” to launch the instance in your selected VPC.

​

1. Open the AWS CLI on your local machine or EC2 instance.
2. Run the following command to describe your VPCs:

aws ec2 describe-vpcs

3. Identify the VPC that you want to use for your EC2 instances.
4. Run the following command to create a new security group in the VPC:

aws ec2 create-security-group --group-name my-security-group --description "My security group" --vpc-id <vpc-id>

5. Run the following command to authorize inbound traffic to the security group:

aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --group-id <security-group-id> --protocol tcp --port 22 --cidr 0.0.0.0/0

6. Launch your EC2 instance in the VPC that you identified in step 3, and specify the security group that you created in step 4.
7. Verify that your EC2 instance is running in the VPC by running the following command:

aws ec2 describe-instances --instance-ids <instance-id>

8. Once you have verified that your EC2 instance is running in the correct VPC, terminate any instances that are running in EC2 Classic.

1. Identify all the EC2 instances in the account that are running in the EC2 Classic environment. You can use the boto3 library to list all the instances and check their VPC ID.

import boto3

ec2_client = boto3.client('ec2')

response = ec2_client.describe_instances(
    Filters=[
        {
            'Name': 'instance-state-name',
            'Values': ['running']
        }
    ]
)

for reservation in response['Reservations']:
    for instance in reservation['Instances']:
        if 'VpcId' not in instance:
            # This instance is running in the EC2 Classic environment
            # Add remediation steps for this instance

2. For each EC2 Classic instance, launch a new instance in a VPC. You can use the run_instances method of the EC2 client to launch a new instance. Make sure to specify the correct VPC ID and subnet ID in the NetworkInterfaces parameter.

response = ec2_client.run_instances(
    ImageId='ami-0c55b159cbfafe1f0',
    InstanceType='t2.micro',
    KeyName='my-key-pair',
    MaxCount=1,
    MinCount=1,
    NetworkInterfaces=[
        {
            'DeviceIndex': 0,
            'AssociatePublicIpAddress': True,
            'SubnetId': 'subnet-12345678',
            'Groups': ['sg-0123456789abcdef0'],
            'DeleteOnTermination': True
        }
    ]
)

new_instance_id = response['Instances'][0]['InstanceId']

3. Once the new instance is launched, you can terminate the old instance running in the EC2 Classic environment. You can use the terminate_instances method of the EC2 client to terminate an instance.

ec2_client.terminate_instances(
    InstanceIds=['i-0123456789abcdef0']
)

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all the EC2 Classic instances in the account.
