Working With Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) Instances and Amazon Machine Images

1. Log on to AWS Educate using your AWS educate starter account, and click AWS Console button.
2. Launch a new instance using the Amazon EC2 console, in your default Region/Availability Zone.
3. Select the Amazon Linux AMI.
4. Choose the t2. medium instance type.
5. Launch the instance in the default virtual private cloud (VPC).
6. Assign the instance a public IP address (your choice), and add a tag to the instance of Key: Name, Value: ITEC6210-YourName.
7. Create a new security group called ITEC6210-Group-YourName.
8. Add a rule to the group ITEC6210-Group-YourName, allowing Secure Shell (SSH) access from any IP address.
9. Launch the instance, and when prompted for a key pair, create a new public-private key pair—ITEC6210Key-YourName. Download the private key (a .pem file) to your workstation.
