Setup Instructions

1. Using the AWS Management Console

  1. Log in to your AWS Management Console.
  2. Navigate to the EC2 Dashboard.
  3. Click Launch Instance and configure the following:
    • AMI: Choose an Amazon Machine Image (e.g., Amazon Linux 2 AMI).
    • Instance Type: Select an instance type (e.g., t2.micro for free-tier eligibility).
    • Key Pair: Choose an existing key pair or create a new one for SSH access.
    • Security Group: Configure rules to allow required traffic (e.g., HTTP, HTTPS).
    • Storage: Specify the root volume size (default: 8GB).
  4. Review and click Launch to create the instance.

2. Using the AWS CLI

  1. Open your terminal and ensure AWS CLI is installed and configured.
  2. Run the following command to create an EC2 instance: 
    aws ec2 run-instances \
  --image-id ami-0abcdef1234567890 \ # Replace with your desired AMI ID
  --count 1 \
  --instance-type t2.micro \
  --key-name MyKeyPair \             # Replace with your key pair name
  --security-group-ids sg-0123456789abcdef0 \ # Replace with your security group ID
  --subnet-id subnet-0abcd1234efgh5678       # Replace with your subnet ID
    Replace /path/to/your-key.pem with the path to your private key file and <PUBLIC_IP_ADDRESS> with your instance's IP.

3. Configuring the Instance

Update the system:

 sudo yum update -y

Install necessary packages:

 sudo yum install -y httpd

4. Stopping or Terminating the Instance

To stop or terminate the instance, use the AWS Management Console or the following CLI commands:

  • Stop the instance:
aws ec2 stop-instances --instance-ids <INSTANCE_ID>
  • Terminate the instance:
aws ec2 terminate-instances --instance-ids <INSTANCE_ID>

Notes

Always ensure your IAM user or role has the necessary permissions. Choose the appropriate region for your instance.
