Your use of cfn-signal is incorrect. This is because it has different location on Ubuntu than on Amazon Linux.

  • Amazon Linux: /opt/aws/bin/cfn-signal
  • Ubuntu: /usr/local/bin/cfn-signal

Therefore, instead of 

/opt/aws/bin/cfn-signal -e $? --stack teststack --resource TestInstance --region ap-southeast-2

you should have :

/usr/local/bin/cfn-signal -e $? --stack teststack --resource TestInstance --region ap-southeast-2

If this won't help, please double check that teststack and ap-southeast-2 are correct. Also make sure the instance has internet access.
