无法在AWS上连接Jupyter Notebook

Question

I have trouble connecting jupyter notebook on AWS. I tried several solutions on SO, including setting security group rule with port 8888 from any ip, setting configure file like:

c = get_config()

# Notebook config this is where you saved your pem cert
c.NotebookApp.certfile = u'/home/ubuntu/certs/mycert.pem' 
# Run on all IP addresses of your instance
c.NotebookApp.ip = '*'
# Don't open browser by default
c.NotebookApp.open_browser = False  
# Fix port to 8888
c.NotebookApp.port = 8888

Also, I tried using jupyter notebook --ip=my_aws_ip --port=8888 . For the login part, I use ssh -i <pem key> ubuntu@<ec2...> -L 8888:localhost:8888 All above solutions returned https://ip-172-31-44-200:8888/?token=****** , and I was not able to open this url in the web browser, saying that ip-172-31-44-200's server IP address could not be found. .

Is there any solution? Thanks in advance!

As @AlexK mentioned in the comments, I should use DNS or the public IP to connect jupyter notebook. For people who have the same issue, under the AWS instance tab, you can find the Public DNS (IPv4), then connect jupyter notebook using jupyter notebook --ip=ec2-**.******.compute.amazonaws.com . Now jupyter notebook should run perfectly on AWS.
