I was once asked these questions in an AWS Cloud Engineer interview. You can bookmark for your future interview. 

Q1: Your EC2 instance suddenly went unreachable. It was fine a few minutes ago. How would you start debugging it?

A: First, I’d see if the instance is still running in the console. 

Then I’d check system logs using EC2 Instance Connect or get the serial console output. 

I’d also check if a script or change caused a reboot or security group/NACL changes.
