Hi 👋 Folks,

I am using Macbook M2 Pro Terminal to get connect with my light sail instance, unfortunately, it gives an error on terminal which is underfollowing

ssh: connect to host (Lightsail instance Ip port 22): Operation timed out

However, I have provided all details including proper parameters as defined by Amazon Articles with absolute path like
ssh -i /Users/amirali/Desktop/SecurityKeysFile/xyz.pem root@IPaddress

that's how I give path as per file is save in above location. On other hand, I have follow the this Amazon article https://lightsail.aws.amazon.com/ls/docs/en_us/articles/amazon-lightsail-ssh-using-terminal#terminal-ssh-change-key-file-permissions

Unfortunately, it's been more than 2 days unable to resolve, get stuck therefore, my all work is In complete

However, I am familiar with Linux therefore, I just need small assistance to get this work done.

What I have found through systemctl status sshd

If configured, you can use the EC2 Serial Console for Linux to troubleshoot OS-level issues on supported Nitro-based instance types. This allows troubleshooting of boot issues, network configuration, and SSH configuration issues. Before using the serial console, grant access to it at the account level and create AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) policies granting access to your IAM users. After configuration, connect to the EC2 instance through the EC2 serial console using a password-configured Linux user. Then run commands to verify that the SSH connections aren't being blocked by the OS firewall or TCP wrapper, and that the sshd service is running and listening on port 22

I was wondering how Lightsail's firewall is configured since it is an SSH timeout error.  
Please check if port 22 and the IP address of the connection source are allowed in this setting.
