Sundays are usually my day to play and rest, but instead I’ve been thinking about what to blog about this week. It doesn’t always come naturally, so I have to take time to think about it.
Coming up this week is a series on Getting Started with AWS EC2! I’m going to focus on the free tier, but it’ll apply for any tier. I could write it all in one post, but it’d be massive and no one likes massive blog posts…at least I don’t. Here’s the breakdown:
- Signing up and choosing a Linux distro.
- Starting the instance, configuring the firewall, and logging in via SSH
- Installing updates and LAMP
- Configuring SNS and CloudWatch for monitoring
EC2 is an awesome platform, but getting started is a definite challenge.
I’m looking forward to this one! Get ready!
