I have exported a VM from VMware ESX server to AWS by converting it in to OVF and using ec2-import-instance Command. I am able to SSH this VM before exporting. sshd service is running fine and IPtables are updated to allow SSH. After launching the instance in AWS, I am getting the error "Connection Refused". Security groups in AWS are configured to allow SSH from any computer. I am not sure what I am missing here. can anyone help.
Below is the log from System log
