Concept

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is a secure web service that provides a secure, resizable computing capacity in the cloud.
It allows you to have complete control of your computing resources and lets you run on Amazon’s proven computing environment.
Benefits of EC2 are that you can decrease or increase capacity within minutes or days.
The best advantage is that you can scale up and scale down according to your need.
You can stop any instance any time. The best advantage is that instance can be rebooted remotely using web service APIs, you also have access to their console output.
Amazon EC2 provides you a highly reliable environment where replacement instances can be rapidly and predictably commissioned.
Cloud security is the highest security and highest priority for everyone. You will benefit from the data center and network architecture built to meet the requirement.
Amazon EC2 provides multiple images for different operating systems.

Implementation – Creating an AWS EC2

Sign into Aws Management Console Portal
Then Drag and Pin the EC2 onto the top.
Double Click on the EC2

Click on Launch Instance.
Select or Choose Amazon Machine Image.
We have several images or operating system to be select on Amazon.
Select Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Base.
And it’s a free tier to create a virtual machine of windows server 2012 R2 Base.
Select your virtual machine image.
Choose an Instance Type.
Now Configure Instance Details.
Create VPC and subnet group and fill all the required details into it.

Next step is to add the storage so if you require more storage into that machine you can add New Volume.

Next Step is to Add Tags.
So you can add tags to Key-Value pair to identify your machine easier.
Now, you need to configure your security group to secure your virtual machines.
You have two options -- you can create a new security group or you can select an existing security group.
Click on the next screen, Review Instance launch.
See the configuration which you have selected or configured.
Then click on Launch.
This will launch your virtual machine instance.

Once you click on the Launch button you need to create Key value pair.
You need to generate a key to login into your EC2 instance.
Select Create a new key pair.
Give key pair name and click on download key pair.
Then click on Launch Instance.

Implementation – Connect to the AWS EC2

Connect to the AWS EC2.
Now, we will connect the AWS instance.
Click on connect to connect the instance.
Now, click on Get password and upload/choose to file your downloaded key pair file (.pem).

Click on Decrypt password.
Save this password in notepad which helps you to connect the EC2 instance later on.
Now download the remote desktop file and connect to the EC2 instance.
Give username and password and connect the windows server 2012 R2 Base.
If you are not able to connect it just enable Remote desktop from Windows 10 OS Settings.

Summary

This is how you can use Amazon EC2.
