title: Unable to SSH to RHEL 6.5 after exporting to AWS
body: <p>I have exported a VM from VMware ESX server to AWS by converting it in to OVF and using ec2-import-instance Command.
  I am able to SSH this VM before exporting. sshd service is running fine and IPtables are updated to allow SSH. 
  After launching the instance in AWS, I am getting the error "Connection Refused".
  Security groups in AWS are configured to allow SSH from any computer.
  I am not sure what I am missing here. can anyone help.</p>
