Common Scenarios

Explaining the Issue

The error code InvalidTransitGatewayRouteTableAssociationID.NotFound is returned by AWS when the system cannot find the specified transit gateway route table association ID.

Steps to Fix the Issue

To resolve this issue, follow these steps:

  1. Verify the Association ID: Double-check the transit gateway route table association ID you are using. Ensure there are no typos or incorrect characters.
  2. Check for Deletion: Confirm that the association has not been deleted. You can do this by navigating to the AWS Management Console, selecting the Transit Gateway, and reviewing the associated route tables.
  3. List Associations: Use the AWS CLI to list all current associations and verify the correct ID. Run the following command: aws ec2 describe-transit-gateway-route-table-associations --transit-gateway-route-table-id
  4. Recreate the Association: If the association was deleted, recreate it using the AWS Management Console or AWS CLI. For CLI, use: aws ec2 associate-transit-gateway-route-table --transit-gateway-route-table-id --transit-gateway-attachment-id
