Use separate private keys *per origin* (e.g. one from your work computer and a separate one for your personal laptop).
The same is not true of destinations: One private key on your personal laptop can serve to access multiple destinations;
if that key is compromised, all other private keys stored on in the same directory will surely be compromised as well.

• Check the instance security group rules. Allow incoming SSH, port 22.
• Are DNS resolution & hostnames enabled for the VPC?
• Does the VPC have an Internet gateway?
• Check the route table for the VPC subnet. Add 0.0.0.0/0 --> Internet gateway
• Check the network access control list (ACL) for the subnet. Allow incoming SSH, port 22.
• Use the right private key, duh. Look it up under the instance details, https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/home

Basically (and very roughly), the standard paths on Unix are:

• /bin & /sbin for vital programs for the OS, sbin being for administrators only ;
• /usr/bin & /usr/sbin for not vital programs, sbin being for administrators only ;
• /var for living data for programs. It can be cache data, spool data, temporary data (unless it's in /tmp, which is wiped at every reboot), etc. ;
• /usr/local for locally installed programs. Typically, it hosts programs that follow the standards but were not packaged for the OS, but rather installed manually by the administrator (using for example ./configure && make && make install) as well as administrator scripts ;
• /opt for programs that are not packaged and don't follow the standards. You'd just put all the libraries there together with the program. It's often a quick & dirty solution, but it can also be used for programs that are made by yourself and for which you wish to have a specific pa
