How to Create AWS Instance?
What is an Instance:
?
An instance is a virtual machine in AWS, which refers to Amazon Web Service. If we go back to our previous workshops where we learned about droplets on the Digital Ocean, here in the AWS platform, they call it an instance. An AWS instance is a virtual server where we can create and host the instance on the AWS cloud environment.

How to create?
?
First, you would need to sign into the AWS website. If you don’t have an account with Amazon, you can create one for free Cloud Computing Services - Amazon Web Services (AWS). Once you sign into your AWS account, then you can see a button called Launch instance in orange color, or you can click on Instance from the left to open an instance page to continue creating the new instance.
This is how the page would look: ( see the screenshot. You will need to type the name of your application or server name in the Name field:

Next, you must select Amazon Machine Image (AMI); make sure you know which AMI to choose by asking your organization.? You will also be required to create a key pair that will be needed to connect your instance later, so make sure your key pair is saved on your device. Note that the same key pair can be used to create multiple instances. Key-pair shown in the screenshot:

Now the following steps are for network settings; in the settings, we need to check the 3 options (shown in the screenshot), so we can get inbound traffic onto our server, by default AWS does not allow everything in the inbound rules; you need to check manually when creating an instance. See the screenshot of the security group:

Once these steps are completed, simply click on Launch instance, then it will show the instance name that was provided at the beginning of the creation of the server’s name. To view more of your instance in detail, click on the instance. It will show all the details information about that instance.
