Launch EC2 Instance

This Document will guide you to launch EC2 Instance in AWS

  1. Log into the AWS Management Console.

  2. In the "Services" menu, select "EC2" under the "Compute" category.

  3. Click the "Launch Instance" button.

  4. Choose an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) from the list. An AMI is a pre-configured virtual machine that you can use to create your instance. You can select a free-tier eligible image, or choose one that meets your needs.

  5. Choose an instance type. The instance type determines the computing resources allocated to your instance, such as CPU, memory, and network performance.

  6. Configure the instance details. This includes setting the number of instances you want to launch, the network settings, and any additional storage volumes you want to attach to the instance.

  7. Add any additional tags to help you identify the instance in the AWS Management Console.

  8. Configure the security group settings. A security group acts as a virtual firewall for your instance, controlling inbound and outbound traffic.

  9. Review your instance configuration and click the "Launch" button.

  10. Select an existing key pair or create a new key pair to securely log in to your instance.

  11. Once your instance is launched, you can connect to it using SSH or RDP.

Note: Depending on your specific use case, some steps may require additional configuration.
