AWS Elastic Compute Cloud

AWS EC2 Stands for elastic compute cloud. In the ever-evolving digital age, where adaptability, efficiency, and security are paramount, Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) stands out as a transformative force. It's not just a service; it's a game-changer that puts the power of scalable computing resources firmly in the hands of businesses.


Imagine a world where scaling your computing resources is as easy as flipping a switch. AWS EC2 makes that dream a reality. Whether you're a startup, a growing business, or an established enterprise, EC2 streamlines managing your computational needs. It's like having a virtual toolkit that allows you to create, launch, and even retire virtual servers in minutes.


But that's not all. With EC2, you're in control of your expenses. Say goodbye to the days of heavy upfront investments in hardware and infrastructure. Instead, you only pay for the resources you actually use. It's a "pay-as-you-go" model that aligns your financial outlays with real-world requirements, making it an ideal solution for organizations of all sizes.

It has the following benefits

  • Cost saving
  • Flexibility
  • Security
  • Scalability

Launch EC2 in three simple steps

  • Start with selecting a template with basic configurations.
  • The config includes the operating system, application server, or applications.
  • Next, decide the instance type and hardware configuration of your instance.

Finally, could you specify the security settings to control the traffic in and out of your instance?

How to connect EC2 via SSH

When working with an AWS EC2 instance, you typically use SSH (Secure Shell) to connect to the instance remotely. The username you use to log in depends on the operating system of the EC2 instance you're connecting to. Here are the default usernames for some common EC2 instance operating systems:

ssh -i /path/to/your/private-key.pem ec2-user@ec2-instance-public-ip        

Third-Party tool

There are several tools that are commonly used to connect ec2 instances.

  • PuTTY
  • MobaXterm
  • Termius

These tools can make your interaction with AWS EC2 instances more efficient and provide features beyond basic SSH connectivity. Choose the one that best fits your platform and requirements.

That is all for now folks.
