In previous blog we already know about EC-2 instance if to add up few things service interface allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. It provides you with complete control of your computing resources and lets you run Amazon’s proven computing environment. Amazon EC2 changes the economics of computing by allowing you to pay only for capacity that you actually use. Amazon EC2 provides developers the tools to build failure resilient applications and isolate them form common failure scenarios.
Windows & Linux based instance - Different AMIs - Different traffic allowed in inbound rules of security group. Linux AMI and allowing SSH type traffic from anywhere/myip Git Bash - Standalone openSSH type client (linux based) to connect to the instance from the Windows Machine/System. Download Git for Windows and install it. - Use Linux Command "ssh" to connect to the instance - ssh command syntax is - ssh -i "private-key-with-path" [user@]<ip-address/hostname/dns name> - e.g. - ssh -i "10amkeypair.pem" ec2-user@54.198.230.153 [or] ssh -i "10amkeypair.pem"
