Is It Possible to Make an EC2 Instance Part of a VPN Protected by Global Protect

What am I running?

EC2 instance Ubuntu 22.04 with a static elastic ip address The instance has only one network interface, whose details say it is an Elastic network interface. (I believed every instance has a primary network interface, but I do not see any PNI).

What I want to do?

My company has an on-prem virtual machine running MSSQL server at 192.168.181.75:1433, but that is behind the globalprotect VPN from Palo Alto Networks. Even when I make a call to that database, I have to connect to global protect manually from my laptop. So my question is, is there any special step I need to take to make the EC2 part of the globalprotect network?

I talked to my company network administrator, who wants the public IP address of the EC2 instance (which I use for SSH) and the mac address. I got the mac address by entering

$ ip addr

in the terminal, under the ens3 interface. But can I assume the mac will remain fixed across stopping and restarting the instance? Also, the inbound/outbound rules have to be altered?

Some readings led me to believe I have to create an ENI, as the primary network interfaces do not support a fixed mac address. But when I checked the instance details, it seems the only interface present is an ENI.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
