How to Resolve Manually

This config rules checks whether an EC2 instance have more than one elastic network interface (ENI) or a fabric adapter (EFA) attached. The instance will be marked as non-compliant if more than one interface is associated to it.


In order to solve this, you need to head on over EC2 service within the AWS console and look for the instance that is not in compliance. Click on its name to access the properties page and check under the Networking tab how many network interfaces are attached to it.


To remove an interface, click on the Actions dropdown menu located in the upper right corner and then click on Networking > Detach network interface. Choose the desired interface and finally click on Detach button.
