EC2 InvalidTransitGatewayRouteTableID.NotFound

The specified transit gateway route table ID does not exist or is incorrect.

Understanding Amazon EC2 and Transit Gateways

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a web service that provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale cloud computing easier for developers. One of the key components in managing network traffic within and across AWS environments is the Transit Gateway. A Transit Gateway acts as a hub that controls how traffic is routed among all the connected networks, which can include VPCs, on-premises networks, and other AWS services.

Identifying the Symptom

When working with Transit Gateways in AWS, you might encounter the error code InvalidTransitGatewayRouteTableID.NotFound. This error typically appears when you attempt to reference a transit gateway route table ID that AWS cannot find. This can occur during operations such as creating or modifying route tables, or when associating route tables with VPCs or other resources.

Common Scenarios

  • Attempting to modify a route table with an incorrect ID.
  • Associating a route table that has been deleted.
  • Using an ID from a different AWS region.

Explaining the Issue

The error InvalidTransitGatewayRouteTableID.NotFound indicates that the specified transit gateway route table ID does not exist in your AWS account or the region you are operating in. This could be due to a typographical error, a deletion of the route table, or an attempt to access a resource in a different region.

Potential Causes

  • Typographical errors in the route table ID.
  • The route table has been deleted or never existed.
  • Incorrect AWS region specified in the API call or AWS CLI command.

Steps to Resolve the Issue

To resolve the InvalidTransitGatewayRouteTableID.NotFound error, follow these steps:

Verify the Route Table ID

  1. Log in to the AWS Management Console.
  2. Navigate to the VPC Dashboard and select Transit Gateway Route Tables.
  3. Ensure that the route table ID you are using matches one of the IDs listed in your account.

Check for Deletion

  1. Confirm that the route table has not been deleted. If it has, you will need to create a new route table and update your configurations accordingly.

Ensure Correct Region

  1. Verify that you are operating in the correct AWS region. The route table ID is region-specific, and attempting to use an ID from another region will result in this error.
  2. Use the AWS CLI command aws ec2 describe-transit-gateway-route-tables --region your-region to list all route tables in the specified region.
