MY First Step into AWS: Launching an EC2 Instance

I started learning AWS and tried launching my first EC2 instance.

What I did:

  • Created an EC2 instance
  • Connected to it using SSH
  • Installed a simple web server

What I learned:

  • Basics of EC2 and Cloud Computing
  • How virtual servers work
  • Importance of security groups

Challenges I faced:

  • Couldn't connect at first because port 22 wasn't open
  • Took time to understand key pairs

Still learning, but this gave me a good starting point. I will keep sharing what I learn.
