[@NoirRobert]

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.

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

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! 🤓

[@RussellSmith-nv2je]

Thank you! I'd really be interested in hearing about use cases for EC2. Particularly regarding use cases for launching multiple short lived instances.

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

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!

[@RussellSmith-nv2je]

@@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?

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

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?

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.

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

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

[@wendykgosi149]

So would you as a cloud practitioner create the instance on the clients computer ??? Or can you create it on your own computer and then remote activate it on the clients computer ? I don’t understand. also would the cloud prac be the one managing the instance on behalf of the client or would the client manage his own instance in his own computer? I’m desperate for a clarification on this please ⚠️ thanks

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

Hi Wendy! 👋 Sorry for the slow response! The instance will always live "in the cloud," so it wouldn't be created on any local computer. The actual server lives in AWS's data centers, but you can use a remote client on your machine (like Remote Desktop, for example) to access/log into the machine and work with it. As far as who does that, it depends on what kind of work you're doing and what your relationship is with your client. If they're hired you to build a web application for them, then you'd probably be doing all the work yourself. Hope that helps! 🤓

[@barryabrams6071]

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.

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

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.

[@juan_diegotapia_broce4016]

Hey! can you help me understand better the estimated pricing for a ec2 on-demand? I'm confused in what should I use to base my estimate since when launching the instance it doesn't specify like the price or anything.

Do I select a Windows AMI to use a Mac with Microsoft Remote Desktop? Or do I skip the AMI?

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

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): kzbin.info/www/bejne/i5bbdH2qe5qVd5o

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.

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

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!

[@moedweik9523]

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.

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

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! 😊

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!

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/).

is there any coding round in aws interview???

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

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.

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...

Thanks for all the nice comments, Narendra! 😊 If you haven't found them yet, I do have a couple other videos that might answer some of these questions: VPCs/subnets: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fpO3l4KEpMqer68 How IP addressing works in AWS: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYOnpaqoZsmDptk I don't currently have any videos about the different ways to connect, but I'll add these to my list for future videos as well! Thanks for the suggestions!

So I’m new it IT but just finished boot camp and now enrolled in learncantrillo Aws SAA Can this be used as a demo for resumes ?

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

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): kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ7ComSimd-qZrc -A static website on S3: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fmmWqYyleJitaqM

I wish there was an option that adds your voice over every tutorial on the web :D p.s. This video can be updated as it changed a little bit on amazon.

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

Haha!! Maybe I've missed a career in voiceovers! 😅 And yes, this one is on my list to update. It's hard to keep up with all the AWS UI changes! 🤓 Hope it was still useful.

[@stumbras2000]

Any way to use it without downloading and installing anything?

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

Hi strumbras2000! 😊 If you're using a Linux instance, you can connect to it from within the browser (using EC2 Instance Connect). For Windows instances, though, you'll have to use the Remote Desktop client.

[@knightoftheblood1841]

I have tried it today but it seems the layout has been changed. This video still use the old layout.

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

Yes, unfortunately the AWS interface changes frequently. 😐 This one is on my list of videos to update! In the meantime, here's the latest official documentation: docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EC2_GetStarted.html

[@plove2579]

My Firefox is not working when i put in IP s address in browser

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

Maybe try Chrome?

[@plove2579]

Yes i tried that not a go

[@HarshColby]

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

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

Yeah, SSH from Windows is not super straightforward. Glad you figured it out. And I love the Hitcherhiker's quote! ❤ Thanks for watching!

How to change password after first login.

[@TinyTechnicalTutorials]

Hey Eric! 👋 If you're still looking for an answer, maybe this will help? repost.aws/knowledge-center/reset-admin-password

[@StrandDoctor]

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. Maybe he or she was suggesting changing it only for ease of remembering, not security?@@TinyTechnicalTutorials

How do i create different passwords to allocate to different users to log into the instance?
