I have problem to add a node to my master node in AWS, the node give me this error  
[2018-07-25T15:42:28,163][INFO][o.e.d.z.ZenDiscovery] [FANIMAR-LOG] failed to send join request to master [{ELK Master}{spOnKZNEQlCNkI7EetMO-A}{YjCfSytuQD-MSCEKJX7Obg}{52.58.82.131}{52.58.82.131:9300}], reason [RemoteTransportException[[ELK Master][172.31.36.120:9300][internal:discovery/zen/join]]; nested: ConnectTransportException[[FANIMAR-LOG][10.0.0.206:9300] connect\_timeout[30s]]; ]  
The ip 172.31.36.120 is the private ip of aws it must be 52.58.82.131.  
How i can resolve??Thanks a lot

I don't have any experience with AWS, but typically in your Elasticsearch .yml file you would set `discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts` with all the nodes in the cluster (hostname or ip address). Check [this link](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/modules-network.html#common-network-settings) for the doc on Elasticsearch network settings.

I also found [this blog post](https://www.elastic.co/blog/running-elasticsearch-on-aws) from 2016. It states you need to add the AWS cloud plugin for each instance, although I don't know if that requirement has changed in 2 years.
