Hands-On with Amazon EC2: Learning by Doing!

I recently completed a hands-on lab on Amazon EC2, diving deep into launching, managing, and securing cloud instances. This wasn't just theory—I got my hands dirty with real-world tasks that reflect what cloud professionals do daily!

By the end of the lab, I had successfully:
✅ Launched a web server with termination protection enabled
✅ Monitored my EC2 instance’s performance
✅ Modified Security Groups to allow HTTP access
✅ Scaled and resized my EC2 instance to adapt to different workloads
✅ Explored EC2 limits and tested stop protection

*Every step reinforced a key takeaway: *

  • Cloud scalability
  • Security
  • Cost optimization

These steps are all critical in AWS environments. This practical experience has strengthened my confidence in managing cloud infrastructure efficiently.
I’m excited about the journey ahead and look forward to applying these skills in real-world cloud environments. If you're working with AWS and looking for a cloud practitioner who’s passionate about hands-on learning and problem-solving, let’s connect! 🚀
