I have an ec2 instance serving a webpage with apache. I created an autoscaling group using an AMI of this instance in the launch config. Once CPU went over 80% and the autoscale policy ran, a new instance was created. But the CPU of my original instance continued to rise and the CPU of my new instance remained at 0%.
The new instance was not serving the web page. I am guessing this is because apache was not started with the launch of the image. I tried to ssh into the new instance to run "service httpd start" but I got the following error:
ssh: Could not resolve hostname http://ec2-xxx-xx-xxx-xxx.compute-1.amazonaws.com:
nodename nor servname provided, or not known
Why could I not ssh in? How do I configure autoscaling to automatically start apache on launch?
