Farewell to Bastion Hosts: Achieving Secure and Intelligent Operations for Private Subnets Using AWS EICE (EC2 Instance Connect Endpoint) and Chaterm

This article introduces the integration of Chaterm, an AI-powered terminal tool, with AWS EC2 Instance Connect Endpoint(EICE) to address operational challenges in private subnets. Traditional approaches require VPNs or bastion hosts,whereas EICE leverages IAM-based authentication to establish secure connections without public IP addresses. Chaterm wraps the EICE capability with cross-platform auto-adaptation and a visual interface. More importantly, its built-in AI Agent can perform intelligent health checks, fault diagnosis, and batch management directly on private EC2 instances —significantly improving both operational efficiency and security.

告别堡垒机：使用 AWS EICE （EC2 Instance Connect Endpoint） 与 Chaterm 实现私有子网的安全智能运维

本文介绍了Chaterm智能终端工具与AWS EC2 Instance Connect Endpoint (EICE)的集成方案，用于解决私有子网运维难题。传统方案需要VPN或跳板机，而EICE通过IAM身份认证实现无公网IP的安全连接。Chaterm封装了EICE能力，提供跨平台自动适配和可视化操作界面，更重要的是内置AI Agent可直接对私网EC2进行智能巡检、故障诊断和批量管理，大幅提升运维效率和安全性。
