I have a server hosted in Amazon’s cloud (EC2, AWS), where I have SQL Server installed. With SSMS on the server, I can connect to the server instance using the Amazon server name and the SQL Server instance. However when I use the IP address, I cannot connect.
I have Allow Remote Connections to Server checked.
Similarly, I am unable to connect to the SQL Server instance remotely.
How can I resolve this?
Ensure you have enabled port 1433 to your specific public ip address in the appropriate security group.
You may also have to update the windows firewall config to allow the service to accept connections.
