-> We launched Windows VM using EC2 in AWS

-> We connected with windows vm using RDP client

RDP
My Laptop -----------------> Windows VM

-> Windows OS is recommended only for personal use

-> In Realtime Environment , we will use Linux OS to run our applications

Linux
+++++
-> Linux is Free and Open source OS
-> Linux is secured OS
-> Linux is Multi User Based OS
-> Linux Operating System having Several Distributions (flavours)

Ubuntu
Debian
Suse
Fedora
Amazon Linux

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-----------------
Requirement : Launch Linux VM using EC2 service and connect to Linux VM using Putty
or Mobexterm software.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------

-> When we launch EC2 instance use Key-Pair for securing our EC2 instances

-> Key-Pair is a combination of public key & private key

-> AWS will store public key and it will provide private key file for us

(private key file will have .pem extension)

-> For Windows VM we will open RDP port (3389)

-> For Linux VM we will open SSH port (22)

Launch Linux VM
----------------
Choose AMI (Amazon Linux)
Instance Type -> t2.micro (Free Tier Eligible)
Configure Instance Details (No need to change anything)
Storage (Default 8gb for Linux)
Add Tag (Name -> MyFirstLinuxVM)
Security Group (SSH with Port 22)
Download Key Pair (.pem file)
Launch Instance
Go to EC2 dashboard and Check Public IP of Ec2 instance and notedown that

Connect to EC2 using putty


--------------------------
1) Download and install putty software
2) Open Putty Gen software and convert .pem to .ppk file
3) Open Putty software and connec to EC2 using IP & PPK file
(SSH -> Auth -> Upload ppk file)
IP : <take from ec2 dashboard>
Username : ec2-user

Connect to EC2 using MobaXterm


-------------------------------
1) Download and install MobaXterm software
2) Open Session and choose SSH
3) Enter HOST name as public ip of Ec2 instance
4) Go to Advanced SSH setting and upload .pem file directley
5) Connect to EC2 and enter username

Deploying web application using EC2 VM


---------------------------------------

-> The applications which we are accessing through internet are called as web
applications

-> Web applications are used for Customer 2 Business Communications

Ex: Google, Gmail, Facebook, Linkedin, Naukri, IRCTC etc.....

-> Web application nothing but collection of web pages

-> Web application will be deployed in webserver

-> Users will send request to webserver to access web application

Steps to host a website in EC2 instance


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1) Login into AWS Cloud Account

2) Launch EC2 Instance ( AMI : Amazon Linux )

3) Connect to EC2 instance using Putty / MobaXterm

4) Install HTTPD Webserver in EC2 instance

5) Setup Website in EC2 instance

6) Configure Security Groups


(SSH - 22 for admin access & HTTP - 80 for users to access our website)

7) Access Website from Browser using EC2 Instance Public IP

Commands To Execute
-------------------------
$ sudo su
$ yum update -y
$ yum install httpd -y
$ cd /var/www/html
$ echo "Welcome to Ashok IT Website..!!" > index.html
$ service httpd start

Note: After this excersise completed then STOP your EC2 instance.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-> EC2 => Elastic Compute Cloud

-> Using Ec2 we can create virtual machines in AWS Cloud

EC2 instance = Virtual Machine / Instance / Server

-> EC2 having Several AMIs (Amazon Machine Image)

-> AMI means pre-configured machine. EC2 is giving several AMIs to launch Virtual
Machines quickly

Linux AMI
Windows AMI
Mac OS AMI

=> Using EC2 AMIs we can launch Virutual Machines Easily

=> In AWs, we can create our own Images also

1) Go to EC2 dashboard

2) Select EC2 instance

3) Click on Action -> Select Image -> Create Image -> Give Unique Name for Image

Note: This will create our Image in AWS

Note: Images are Regional Specific.

Note: When we are working on multiple projects then we can use Images to setup
Virtual Machines easily

Note: After practise, delete your Images


-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------

-> In Ec2 we have several Instance types

1) On-Demand Instance
- Fixed Price (Hourly)
- Pay for what you use
- No Commitment
- No upfront Payments

2) Reserved Instances
- Long Term Committement
- Upfront Payment
- 1 year or 3 years
- 75% discount

3) Spot Instances
- Auction Instances
- Bidding
- Huge Capacity for Cheap Price

4) Dedicated Host Instances


- Dedicated Physicals
- Licensed Softwares
- Dedicated Host is much costlier than others

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------

-> EC2 having Instances as Families

t1, t2, t3, c1, a1 etc...

Note: In t2 family t2.micro instace is Free Tier Eligible (For 1 year, monthly 750
hours)

Note: EC2 instance minimum billing period is hour. If you use it for 5 mins also
they will consider as 1 hour.

-> If EC2 instance is in "Running" state then it will consider for billing.

Stop / Terminate State : No Bill
