- Elastic Cloud Compute, or EC2, is the core service for Compute in Amazon Web Services (AWS). An EC2 instance is effectively a virtual server that you “rent,” meaning you only pay for what you use.
In this video, I’ll provide a short overview of EC2, its benefits, and why you would use it. Then in a hands-on tutorial, I’ll walk through how to create a new EC2 instance (using the Windows Amazon Machine Image or AMI), how to connect, and then finally how to terminate the instance.

@@TinyTechnicalTutorials I do have a request for a video on AWS. Just not sure if others would find it helpful, but here goes.
What about transferring files back and forth between two instances?
I plan to have a Linux instance running my website and a Windows 11 (or Windows Server 2022 if persuaded) instances and I need to have files automatically sent back and fourth between the two instances.
If you’re interested and need more information, please let me know.

Thanks much. This is so clear to understand
I'm so glad! Thanks for the nice note! :)
Me again. I think I have commented on almost every one of your (extremely useful) AWS videos ... so, thanks again. 👍
This may be helpful to people seeing the newer UI: due to some changes in the UI, some features like "Shutdown behavior", "Request Spot Instances" and a few other behaviors are now located in the "Advanced details" section when you are creating an instance. "Firewall/Security Groups" has moved to "Network settings."
Also, you now need to create a key pair before you launch the instance. If you do not, you will be prompted to do so.
Thanks so much, @NoirRobert! 😊💪 This should definitely be helpful to folks. And yes, it's on my list to create an updated video using the new UI one of these days! 🤓
Morning Love this! totally new to AWS🥰
Welcome!! Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your AWS journey--you got this! 💪🤓🌟
You have explained it extremely well, teaching is all about how you approach a subject. You really took me for a drive. Wondering if you have any full course on AWS that can help beginners to pursue certifications and become AWS cloud professionals?

Thank you! I'd really be interested in hearing about use cases for EC2. Particularly regarding use cases for launching multiple short lived instances.
Hi Russell! Thanks for watching! 🙏🤓🌟
Great question! Here are a few common use cases for EC2 generally. These days, there's definitely a push towards more "serverless" architectures and things like containers, but a good-ol virtual machine still comes in handy for a lot of things:
-Web/application hosting
-Dev and test environments
-Big data analysis
-ML and AI workloads
-High-performance computing (science, genomic sequencing, etc.)
-Batch processing
-Gaming
-Disaster recovery and backup
For short-lived instances (like spot instances), these are well-suited for anything that can run for just a short amount of time and then start up again when needed. These workloads could also be good candidates for something like Lambda instead, but here's what I came up with:
-Batch processing
-Stateless web servers
-CI/CD pipelines
-Image/media processing
-Dev and test environments
Hope that helps!
@@TinyTechnicalTutorials Thank you for the detailed response! I have heard of people doing horizontal scaling by adding (or removing) more EC2 instances as required. If one instance goes down then the load is taken up by other running instances. This seems like a fascinating use of scaling and redundancy management and I was curious what kinds of development stacks would be used to achieve this?
Ugh amazing! Thank you!
You're so welcome! Thanks for watching! 😊
@TinyTechnicalTutorials Thank you for your tutorials. I am currently pursuing AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate (SAA-C02) and this is really helpful. Please keep making such good content to make a learning easier to pass the exam.
Awwww...thanks so much! 🙏🌟😊 I'm gald the videos are helpful. And good luck with the exam!!! 💪
Hello Thank you for the video. What is the best way to get prepared for SAA-C02 exam? There are loads of features to learn and the exam questions are mostly event driven. Although I know which instance to use in certain situations, I can' t find the right answer when an event driven situation is given. I feel stuck.😢
Awesome tutorial. Thanks.

I created a Linux instance and struggled for days to get SSH from Windows to work.
It's not that hard, but you need to know the secret handshakes which are poorly documented. If you don't know the secrets, they're impossible to guess and nearly impossible to google.
“But the plans were on display…”
“On display? I eventually had to go down to the cellar to find them.”
“That’s the display department.”
“With a flashlight.”
“Ah, well, the lights had probably gone.”
“So had the stairs.”
“But look, you found the notice, didn’t you?”
“Yes,” said Arthur, “yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying ‘Beware of the Leopard.”
― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Yeah, SSH from Windows is not super straightforward. Glad you figured it out. And I love the Hitcherhiker's quote! ❤ Thanks for watching!
Thank you much. I don't have a computer right now. I'm using my phone. My Motorola can connect to a monitor and has its own android chrome-ish type desktop environment....so I want to do an AWS instance with a mate desktop environment through my phone and a vnc viewer.

Hello. Great video! Your channel and the video was exactly what I needed. I followed your instructions and I was able to create EC2 instances very easy 2 months ago. I am wondering if you could teach us how to read the bill for these instances that we are using. I selected the free tier instances and I am getting charged, it is not a lot but I would like learn why this is happening, I am using the instances for a program that needs to run 24/7, that is all nothing complicated. But maybe in the future I would need an instance with more power and I would like to estimate how much it would cost. Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the nice comment, David! I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel. I LOVE the idea of doing a video about "understanding your bill." I think it's confusing to a lot of people. I've added it to my list for future videos! In the meantime, I do have a very short blurb about Cost Explorer in this video: th-cam.com/video/8BwDrzeHOks/w-d-xo.html. It's probably too basic for what you need, but might still give you some helpful tidbits. Thanks for the suggestion! 😊
@@TinyTechnicalTutorials That's great! thanks for taking it into consideration for you future videos. Good luck and have a nice day!
Hey David! If you haven't seen it already, I published a short video this morning about how to view your bill and dig into detail using Cost Explorer: th-cam.com/video/xTIR5cvOfPc/w-d-xo.html. And then next Monday, I've got one scheduled for "how to estimate costs" using the AWS Pricing Calculator. Hope you enjoy them! Thanks again for the suggestion! 😊🙏
@@TinyTechnicalTutorials Wow! Thanks a lot. I will go watch it now! You are the best! 😃😃😃
Hey David! Here's the video for "how to estimate costs" with the AWS Pricing Calculator. Enjoy! 😊 th-cam.com/video/PQFztryprPQ/w-d-xo.html
Very Good Video! i was given a console login account for one environment that has everything (DEV, TEST, PROD) under one account. Do you normally need additional windows and Liunx accounts created on each machine I need access to? I know there is an "ec2-user" account for each EC2 machine that I think does not require password when you try instance connect the company seems to be blocking that and requiring SSH instead.
Thanks for watching, Moe! :) Yeah, the ec2-user account is the default login for Linux machines, but in the real world, it's generally best to not use it. That's because it's effectively a root account and can do anything. AND multiple people can log in with that account, so it's hard to track who did what. Logging in/SSH-ing with individual accounts is a better way to do it, as your company is having you do.
As far as the AWS accounts, though (vs. EC2 instance accounts), there are LOTS Of different ways you can set that up. Amazon generally recommends multiple accounts and using AWS Organizations.
Here's more about that: docs.aws.amazon.com/whitepapers/latest/organizing-your-aws-environment/benefits-of-using-multiple-aws-accounts.html.
And then another article that's a little easier to digest: medium.com/@sanchitbansal26/aws-multi-account-architecture-14ce665a5096
Hope that helps! 😊
Your explanation and workflow is great. Is it possible for you to make a new video as of Sep 2023? I see a different workflow when I launch and configure the instance for Linux. I have follow several videos that use SSH and a script to configure the connection to the EC2 Linux instance. After creating the instance, I am not able to SSH into it. I get permission denied.
Thanks so much, Barry! 🙏 Yes, the UI was updated after I created this video. It's on my list to update! To SSH into the instance, the easiest approach is to use EC2 Instance Connect (docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/connect-linux-inst-eic.html). It handles the credentials behind the scenes. But make sure you create a key when you create the instance.
great video
Thank you so much!! 🥰
Hi!
Thanks very much for your great explanations! Easy to understand!
One question: I can start the machine from my computer.
But if I try it with this *.rdp-File and password from another computer, it doesn`t work.
What`s wrong?
Many thanks again!
Christian
Thanks for the kind words, @Christian! I'm glad it helped. 😊 Just to make sure I'm following...
You're using an RDP file on your computer to connect to the EC2 instance, and that works. But if you use an RDP file from another computer (that presumably you copied to your computer), it doesn't work? I assume you've checked the IP address that it's connecting to, as well as the credentials?
@@TinyTechnicalTutorials Hi! ... no, I just copy the *rdp to the next computer, open it and add the password from the 1st computer.
thank you TTT
Thank YOU for watching!! 🙏🌟🤓
I cannot connect to EC2 cause it says: Remote Desktop can't connec for follow reasons: 1) Remote access to the server is not enabled.
2) The remote computer is turned off.
3) The remote ocmputer is not available on the network.
Hi Siddhartha! 👋 There are a variety of reasons you might get this error connecting to a Windows EC2 instance using Remote Desktop. In my experience, the most likely issue is that your security group needs an inbound rule allowing for traffic on port 3389 (the port RDP uses). If that doesn't work, here are some additional tips from AWS: docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/troubleshoot-connect-windows-instance.html.
Great👍
Thank you so much! 🙏😊
great
Thank you! 🤓
Do I select a Windows AMI to use a Mac with Microsoft Remote Desktop? Or do I skip the AMI?
Hey Paul! The AMI is used as the template for whatever remote machine you're creating in AWS. So if you want a remote Windows machine, then yes, use the Windows AMI. And then yes, to connect to a Windows machine, use Remote Desktop (though I haven't personally done this FROM a Mac, so not sure if there are any nuances there).
If I'm misunderstanding your question, though, and you want to create a Mac in AWS, then this video might help (it's a little more complicated): th-cam.com/video/UexCJtF5bA8/w-d-xo.html
@@TinyTechnicalTutorials Thanks. I was wondering. I think that's the step I need to complete. Super helpful. Thanks.
There must be a step or two necessary to expose the virtual machine from the VPC to the Internet that isn't covered here. The machine comes up, but the default VPC doesn't seem to allow the VM to be accessed from the Internet, even though you get a DNS entry that works on the internet, and the Instance shows a public IP address... Is it possible this video needs an additional discussion about how that part works?
Hi @jrehling! 👋 Great point. The EC2 UI has changed quite a bit since this video was made, and the current UI makes it more obvious that you have to set up security groups (firewall rules). But noted for when I do an updated version. 👍 Thanks for the feedback! 😊
For reference if you need it, this walk-through provides some additional detail under the "Network settings" heading: docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/ec2-launch-instance-wizard.html
Can you please inform me of the followings, why would I need to have an RDP on cloud, is it for, if I'm on a Mac and I need to something on windows? I'm trying to understand the use case. Thanks in advanced to anyone who answered.
Hi Gil! So sorry...this comment got buried in my list. You may have figured this out already, but yes, RDP is used to connect to Windows EC2 instances from a remote machine. I was using Windows on my laptop, so used the "Remote Desktop Connection." From a Mac, you can use the "Microsoft Remote Desktop" app. Hope that helps!
i had never edited tags while creating ec2 instance. So what does specifically tags used for?
Hi Faisal! 😊 Tags are basically key-value pairs that you can use to organize/label things. You can create whatever tags you'd like, so maybe "environment=development" or "team=security," something like that. They're not required, though in the newer EC2 UI, you're prompted to give the machine a name ("name=myinstance"). Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

Congrats on your AWS journey, Elias! 😊 Yes, you could use this as a resume builder, but here are couple more that would better demonstrate how to use several services together:
-A web app that uses Lambda, Amplify, API Gateway and DynamoDB (looks like you already watched this one): th-cam.com/video/7m_q1ldzw0U/w-d-xo.html

Hey Abhinav! 👋 I'm not totally sure on that...I think it depends on your architecture and GPU.

Hi, excuseme but how much will you end up paying if you choose any other Instance Type that is not in the Free Tier plan?
Hi Bearz! It'll depend what type of instance, and how much you use (since you only pay for what you use). But here's some more info to get you started: aws.amazon.com/ec2/pricing/. Hope it helps! :)
Hello @tinytechnicaltutorials i discovered the cloud around 7 months ago. I was put in an accerlerated program and i havent learn too much. I need a basic road map or something im still lost in the sauce.
Hi Millie! 😊 AWS can definitely be overwhelming...there's SO much to learn! I'm not sure what kind of program you were in before, but you might consider taking an AWS Cloud Practitioner class (I have one on Udemy, but there are lots of others too: www.udemy.com/course/aws-certified-cloud-practitioner-master-aws-fundamentals/). The videos here on TH-cam are a little better for "how do I do X," where a course will give you a better overall foundation. Hopefully that helps, and good luck! 💪🤓

is there any coding round in aws interview???
Hi Peddi! 😊 It depends on the job you're interviewing for. If you're a developer, then you'll likely have coding questions during an interview. If you're interviewing for something like a sys admin or architect job, it's less likely. But IMHO, regardless of role, it always helps to know a little bit of coding, at least enough to look at some code and understand what it does. It'll also help you work better with others who DO write code all day (i.e., the developers). Hope that helps!
How do you actually have it run windows OS and not just the command line?
Every tutorial has the windows EC2 instance running windows OS automatically (11:11) once connecting. When connecting to mine it only opens up Powershell command line and then im not sure what to do from there.
Hi @PeerThroughMedia1! 😊 To set up a Windows instance, you'll have to choose that when you create the machine (this video shows a Linux instance). Here's a walk-through that might help: docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/EC2_GetStarted.html

How do i open command line interface on an EC2 instance?
Hi Varun! 😊 By default, the CLI isn't installed ON the instance itself. You'd have to install it. But a super easy alternative is to use CloudShell instead. This is basically the CLI in the browser, and doesn't require any installation. The credentials are also handled for you behind the scenes. Here's more: docs.aws.amazon.com/cloudshell/latest/userguide/getting-started.html.

Hey Eric! 👋 If you're still looking for an answer, maybe this will help? repost.aws/knowledge-center/reset-admin-password
Hey thanks very much for replying. I thought I heard in a tutorial somewhere that the first thing someone should do is change the password after logging in for the firs time. Do you recommend that or stick with the decrypted password and go back to that each time.
