如何仅使用公共 ip 地址、用户名和密码登录 AWS EC2？

Question

I have received a Public IP, Username, and Password for an EC2 instance I need to deploy a Node API backend to, but I'm not able to ssh into it. When I try to SSH into it, I get the following message:

ssh: connect to host xx.xxx.xxx.xx port 22: Connection timed out

And if I try to ping the IP address, I receive a timeout as well:

Pinging xx.xxx.xxx.xx with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

Usually I get a pem file, but I wasn't provided with one on this project. Are those always required for AWS EC2 connections and maybe they just forgot to provide me with it?

Thanks in advance!

It turned out to be an issue on the AWS configuration side. The route table did not have the inte.net gateway set.
