Creating an EC2 instance in AWS involves several steps. Here's a detailed guide to help you through the process:
Step 1: Sign in to AWS Management Console
Go to the AWS Management Console.
Sign in with your AWS credentials.
Step 2: Open the EC2 Dashboard
In the AWS Management Console, click on the Services menu at the top.
Under Compute, click EC2 to open the EC2 Dashboard.
Step 3: Launch an Instance
On the EC2 Dashboard, click the Launch Instance button.
Step 4: Choose an Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
Choose an AMI, which is a pre-configured template for your instance. You can select from Amazon Linux, Ubuntu, Windows, etc.
Click Select next to the AMI you want to use.
Step 5: Choose an Instance Type
Choose an instance type based on your needs. The instance type determines the hardware of the host computer used for your instance.
Click Next: Configure Instance Details.
Step 6: Configure Instance Details
Configure the instance details such as the number of instances, network settings, and IAM role.
You can leave the default settings for a basic setup.
Click Next: Add Storage.
Step 7: Add Storage
Configure the storage size and type. The default is usually sufficient, but you can adjust according to your needs.
Click Next: Add Tags.
Step 8: Add Tags
Tags are key-value pairs that help you organize your instances. This step is optional but recommended.
Click Next: Configure Security Group.
Step 9: Configure Security Group
A security group acts as a virtual firewall for your instance. You can create a new security group or select an existing one.
Define the rules for inbound and outbound traffic.
For example, you might add an SSH rule to allow SSH access.
Click Review and Launch.
Step 10: Review and Launch
Review all your settings.
Click Launch.
Step 11: Select a Key Pair
Choose an existing key pair or create a new one. This key pair is used to securely connect to your instance.
If you create a new key pair, download the private key file (.pem) and keep it secure.
Check the acknowledgment box to confirm that you have access to the selected key pair.
Click Launch Instances.
Step 12: View Your Instances
Click View Instances to go to the EC2 Dashboard where you can see your newly launched instance.
Wait for the instance to initialize. Its state will change from "pending" to "running".
Step 13: Connect to Your Instance
Once the instance is running, select it from the list.
Click the Connect button at the top of the page.
Follow the instructions to connect to your instance using SSH (for Linux) or Remote Desktop (for Windows).
That's it! You've successfully launched an EC2 instance on AWS.
