Introduction to EC2 with Windows Server
Amazone EC2 is a web service which provides scalable and shrinkable competing in the cloud environment.It provides a complete control over the computing resources. EC2 also helps to use the only minimum resources, which will help to reduce cost in the cloud environment.
In this blog, we are explaining how to create amazon Windows Server 2012 in EC2 and how to log into the instance.
1) Go to the AWS management console then Services and select EC2, find the launch Instance button and click it and select Windows Server 2012 R2 Base
2) Keep the default setting in the next steps until Tag instance page, here you have to give a name for the instance.
3) In Configure Security Group, create a new security group. The security group is the firewall in EC2, by default port 3389 for RDP will be open automatically in the default security group.
4) You can use the existing key pair and click Launch Instance. The key pairs are used to access to the instance after creation .
1) Download a PEM key from the Quick lab screen and save it on the local machine.
2) Go back to the EC2 instance screen and select the instance then click on the connect button.
