I've got what could either be a problem with an EC2 instance or with ubuntu 20.04.

When I run sudo apt-get update I eventually get:

Failed to fetch http://eu-west-
2.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/focal/InRelease  Could not connect to eu-
west-2.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (34.241.117.189), connection timed out Could not 
connect to eu-west-2.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com:80 (54.246.214.20), connection timed out

The attached security group allows http/s traffic. Does anyone have an idea of what's going wrong?

Adding outbound rules

Very clear message the access to this eu-west-2.ec2.archive.ubuntu.com is timing out. Try another mirror. – David Sep 25 '21 at 10:44
Check once outbound traffic too or try to download anything using wget if it works than there might be issue with the mirrors. – Prince Kumar Barnwal Sep 25 '21 at 13:08
@David before outputting this message it cycles through different mirrors, I wasn't mindful of this when I posted. I guess that points to a networking issue. – goose Sep 26 '21 at 08:39
@PrinceKumarBarnwal ah that's very helpful, yeah I can't download so much as jquery without a time out, so I must need to change my security group in some way. – goose Sep 26 '21 at 08:42
@goose Please check outbound security group once. – Prince Kumar Barnwal Sep 27 '21 at 08:15
@PrinceKumarBarnwal - sure thing. I've added a picture showing the attached outbound rules. – goose Sep 27 '21 at 19:13
@goose where you have added the picture ? – Prince Kumar Barnwal Sep 28 '21 at 07:08
@PrinceKumarBarnwal to the bottom of the question. It doesn’t stand out very well as it’s white on white. – goose Sep 28 '21 at 08:23
