SSH to an instance in a Private Subnet
If you need to access an instance that is in a Private (non-routable) Subnet, you can use ssh-agent to do this:
$ ssh-add -K ~/Keys/my_key_region.pem
Identity added: /Users/username/Keys/my_key_region.pem (/Users/username/Keys/my_key_region.pem)
$ ssh-add -L
<you should see your ssh key here>
Now use -A with ssh and this will forward the key with your ssh login:
$ ssh -A -i ~/Keys/my_key_region.pem centos@111.222.333.444
Now that you have your key forwarded, you can login to an instance that is in the Private Subnet:
$ ssh <USERNAME>@<PRIVATE_IP>
