Hi, I am trying to access, on port 9200, a single instance of ES that is running on an EC2 machine with no EIP. I can access it from the machine itself but not from remote. the port is opened in the security group. I have tried setting network.host to the various available options with and without discovery.ec2.host\_type: public\_ip but nothing helps. If I set the network.host param to the current public IP or DNS of the machine, ES fails to boot with BindTransportException.
