1 INTRODUCTION
Amazon EC2 presents a true virtual computing environment, allowing you to use web service
interfaces to launch instances with a variety of operating systems, load them with your custom application environment, manage your network’s access permissions, and run your image using as many or few systems as you desire.
To use Amazon EC2, you simply:
1. Configure security and network access on your Amazon EC2 instance.
2. Choose which instance type(s) you want, then start, terminate, and monitor as many instances of your AMI as needed, using the web service APIs or the variety of management tools provided.
3. Determine whether you want to run in multiple locations, utilize static IP endpoints, or attach persistent block storage to your instances.
4. Pay only for the resources that you actually consume, like instance-hours or data transfer.
This activity guide cover steps for:
1. Creating a Ubuntu EC2 Instance a. Launching the Ubuntu Instance b. Connecting to the Ubuntu Instance
2. Deleting/Cleanup
a. Stopping the Ubuntu Instance
b. Terminating the Ubuntu Instance

12. The next window will ask you for the key pair. So select Create a new key pair and provide any Key pair name to it and click on Launch.
13. Now we have successfully created our Ubuntu EC2 Instance
Note: Stop the EC2 instance after the usage.When you stop an instance, it is shut down
and you are not billed for hourly usage. If you don’t stop the instance you will be highly charged.

4.2 Connecting to the Ubuntu Instance
Note: In this section we will be connecting to our Ubuntu Instance using EC2 Instance Connect.
1. Move to your Instance dashboard and select the instance we just created. We can see the public IP assigned to this windows instance. Click on Connect
2. Once you get in the Connect to instance, go to EC2 Instance Connect and click Connect.
