Amazon Web Service - AWS
Overview
- Create AWS account (free, but requires credit card)
- Create an Ubuntu instance (free, as long as you select the free EC2 variant, and your account is within the "one year free" grace period)
- after 173.678 Instance Hrs, I now owe $2.36 ($0.0116 / instance hr.)
- Install software on Ubuntu instance
Create Amazon Web Services Account and log into account Click on "EC2 Dashboard" Click on "Launch Instance" button, select Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS Select "General purpose t2.micro Free tier eligible" Click Review and Launch After clicking on "Launch Instances", you will need to define a key pair. Provide a name for this security key pair. A security key-pair file will be downloaded. I used the name "MediaWiki" Save it! This is your key to your instance. Connect to your instance via SSH (I prefer to use TeraTerm for my SSH connection) Within your instance dashboard, for your currently running instance, find the Public DNS (IPv4) address. Example: ec2-18-237-174-213.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com - Follow step by step detailed below...
Connect with TeraTerm - Tera Term Download
- Select TCP/IP
- Check History
- TCP port #: 22
- Service SSH, SSHVersion SSH2
- Click "OK"
- User Name: ubuntu
- Select "Use RSA/DSA/ECDSA/ED25519 key" and select the private key you downloaded earlier (Show all file types)
- Click "OK"
Following the above steps should produce an SSH command prompt for your AWS Linux instance. Install Apachi Web Server
$ sudo apt-get install apache2
