[SOLVED] Unable to launch ec2 instance "Launch Failed"

Unable to launch ec2 instance "Launch Failed"

I'm trying to launch a FortiGate c5.xlarge instance from the AWS marketplace. I keep getting the following.

Launch Failed

{
    "clientToken": "164876650066515092",
    "awsAccountId": "008420932876",
    "agreementId": null,
    "agreementRequired": true,
    "autoRoleCreationRequired": false,
    "instanceActionName": "RunInstances",
    "errorCode": "NeedsEntitlementCheck_InvalidParameterException",
    "errorMessage": "A non-retryable exception was thrown because of an invalid input for product e5126f4a-0d69-479f-919c-d5e158bd4d12, region us-east-1, amiId ami-065f5f3d485c1ec3f",
    "workflowStatus": "LAUNCH_FAILED",

    "isWorkflowExecutionFailed": false,

    "entitlementStatus": {

        "hasExistingRegionalEntitlement": null,
        "hasNewEntitlementPropagated": null
    },
    "workflowStartTime": null
}

I went through this article and it doesn't seem to be any of the following messages.

https://aws.amazon.com/premiumsupport/knowledge-center/ec2-launch-issue/

Also checked that c5.xlarge is supported in us-east-1. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Solution

So I ended up solving it by using the AWS CLI commands.

aws ec2 run-instances --image-id ami-065f5f3d485c1ec3f --count 1 --instance-type c5.xlarge --key-name fortigate-aws --security-group-ids sg-019b89b5dd233cdae --subnet-id subnet-0457dda8b55b5bb10 --private-ip-address 10.9.0.4

Worked like a charm. Not sure why it didn't work through the marketplace.
