On Sunday, I did a Yum Update on my Amazon Linux 2 instance (a T2.Medium) and after the update only 2 IP addresses per interface were working. Before the update I had 6 IPs per interface. It looks like either the kernel update or the ec2-net-utils is the culprit.

I have tried ec2ifscan and several reboots, as well as dropping the IP and re-attaching it on the AWS control panel.

I can't see the IPs at all from within the instance, and I can't see anything out of place on the AWS side.

Here is list of what was updated.

Any suggestions for what happened and how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Amazon Support has helped with this:

It turns out the new version ec2-net-utils messes with the network interfaces for its own purposes.

The work around is to:

yum downgrade ec2-net-utils 
reboot
