Creating an EC2 Instance refers to the action of starting a server on Amazon using one's credential, and then connecting to it using ssh.

Steps

The steps are fairly simple:

  • Connect to the AWS console, and then select Amazon EC2
  • Click on Launch Instance
  • When the instance is created, right click on it and click on Connect

  • Copy/Paste the ssh command into a shell that you will have started
 ssh -i dft.pem root@ec2-174-129-165-180.compute-1.amazonaws.com
  • Make sure you have downloaded a private key file to your .ssh directory first. This is done by
    • Selecting your account
    • clicking on Credentials
    • selecting the X.509 certificate tab
    • and clicking on Create New. A page will open allowing you to download your pem file.
