Adding second network interface to Ubuntu 18.04 on AWS EC2

The provided 18.04 AMI comes with one interface, and I am adding a second one with its own IP (for stuntman-server). However the instance is only responding to one elastic IP or the other, not both (for SSH and stuntman), while both private addresses do work. Setup with Amazon Linux was also flawless, so should just be a piece of networking config.

There are two network interfaces, each with an Elastic IP and with different subnets on one VPC in one availability zone (172.31.16.0/20 and 172.31.48.0/20) and the same security group.

Ubuntu did not automatically detect the second, but /etc/netplan/50-cloud-init.yaml looks like the place to start from 18.04?

Different from what I am used to and I couldn't find instructions so guessing this is the problem. I just added an eth1 DHCP to it. And I am guessing these will break if I make an AMI or change the interface (will get new MAC address)?

network:
    version: 2
    ethernets:
        eth0:
            dhcp4: true
            match:
                macaddress: 06:05:14:4a:26:ce
            set-name: eth0
        eth1:
            dhcp4: true
            match:
                macaddress: 06:86:ef:73:d4:1a
            set-name: eth1

This does show up in ifconfig, and I can SSH to both private addresses, but only the second (eth1) responds to either pogram over the EIP, although it does show a few packets on eth0.

I found how to solve that on the AWS knowledge center

Perhaps that may help you
