AWS EC2 Instance practical

Creating an EC2 instance

1. Sign in to the AWS Management Console.
2. Click on the EC2 service.
3. Click on the Launch Instance button to create a new instance.

4.Choose AMI: (Amazon Machine Image) AMI is a template used to create the EC2 instance.

5.Choose Instance Type and then click on the Next. Suppose I choose a t2.micro as instance type for testing purpose.

6.The main setup page of EC2 is shown below where we define setup configuration.

                                                                                                                                     

7.Never leave the default 8gb, if you want to be on the free tier limits you can set a value around 20gb -24gb, because sometimes you leave it as default and your instance is not going to have too many spaces to do many things, and click next.

8.Now, Add the Tags and then click on the Next.

9.onfigure Security Group. The security group allows some specific traffic to access your instance. i.e. If you want to have a web server you need to open port 80. If you want ssh access you need port 22, so let’s create a new one.

10.Review an EC2 instance that you have just configured, and then click on the Launch button.

11.Create a new key pair and enter the name of the key pair. Download the Key pair.

12.Click on the Launch Instances button.
