All about AWS EC2: Your Virtual Server in the Cloud

AWS Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is your personal computer in the cloud, and it’s easier to use than you might think! In “All about AWS EC2: Your Virtual Server in the Cloud”, we introduce you to the concept of virtual servers or ‘instances’ as they’re called in AWS.

Starting with the basics, we explain what an EC2 instance is and the different instance types available. We guide you through launching your first instance, choosing an instance type that suits your needs, and connecting to the instance.

We then explore how to manage these instances - starting, stopping, rebooting, or even terminating them as required. We’ll also touch upon key concepts like Security Groups and Key Pairs, ensuring your journey with EC2 is smooth and secure.
