Why I can't ping any domain/hostname when ufw enabled?
[root@ip-172-31-23-37 ec2-user]# ping google.com
ping: google.com: Name or service not known
[root@ip-172-31-23-37 ec2-user]# ufw disable
Firewall stopped and disabled on system startup
[root@ip-172-31-23-37 ec2-user]# ping google.com

I was disabled all outgoing traffic except defined by using command ufw default deny outgoing. ufw status:
80 ALLOW OUT Anywhere
443 ALLOW OUT Anywhere
3306 ALLOW OUT Anywhere
2465 ALLOW OUT Anywhere
3306/tcp ALLOW OUT Anywhere
3306/udp ALLOW OUT Anywhere
127.0.0.1 3306 ALLOW OUT Anywhere
80 (v6) ALLOW OUT Anywhere (v6)

2465 (v6) ALLOW OUT Anywhere (v6)

I already set to accept icmp to the /etc/ufw/before.rules file
# allow outbound icmp
-A ufw-before-output -p icmp -m state --state NEW,ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
-A ufw-before-output -p icmp -m state --state ESTABLISHED,RELATED -j ACCEPT
You haven't allowed outbound DNS traffic, thus names cannot be resolved to IP addresses.
