How to Create EC2 Instance in AWS:
Step by Step Tutorial
An EC2 instance is nothing but a virtual server in Amazon Web
services terminology. It stands for Elastic Compute Cloud. It is a web service
where an AWS subscriber can request and provision a compute server in
AWS cloud.
An on-demand EC2 instance is an offering from AWS where the
subscriber/user can rent the virtual server per hour and use it to deploy his/her
own applications.
The instance will be charged per hour with different rates based on the type of
the instance chosen. AWS provides multiple instance types for the respective
business needs of the user.
Thus, you can rent an instance based on your own CPU and memory
requirements and use it as long as you want. You can terminate the instance
when it’s no more used and save on costs. This is the most striking advantage
of an on-demand instance- you can drastically save on your CAPEX.
In this step by step instructions, you will learn-
• Login and access to AWS services
• Choose AMI
• Choose EC2 Instance Types
• Configure Instance
• Add Storage
• Tag Instance
• Configure Security Groups
• Review Instances
• Create a EIP and connect to your instance
• What is Spot Instance?
• Create a Spot Request
o Find Instance Types
o Configure the Spot instance
o Review your Spot instance
Let us see in detail how to launch an on-demand EC2 instance in AWS Cloud.
,Login and access to AWS services
Step 1) In this step,
• Login to your AWS account and go to the AWS Services tab at the top
left corner.
• Here, you will see all of the AWS Services categorized as per their area
viz. Compute, Storage, Database, etc. For creating an EC2 instance, we
have to choose Compute EC2 as in the next step.
• Open all the services and click on EC2 under Compute services. This
will launch the dashboard of EC2.
Here is the EC2 dashboard. Here you will get all the information in list about
the AWS EC2 resources running.
, Step 2) On the top right corner of the EC2 dashboard, choose the AWS
Region in which you want to provision the EC2 server.
Here we are selecting N. Virginia. AWS provides 10 Regions all over the
globe.
