Understanding AWS EC2
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is a service that provides scalable computing resources in the cloud. It allows developers to deploy applications efficiently.
Benefits of AWS EC2
- Rapid Deployment: Instances can be set up within minutes.
- Pay-as-you-go Pricing: Costs are based on actual usage.
- Scalability: Easily scale applications based on demand.
Accessing AWS EC2 Instances

For this example, we use the NighthawkCodingSociety AWS organization.
Selecting the AWS Region
Make sure to change the default region to US East (Ohio) to ensure proper connectivity.
Navigating to EC2 Dashboard
Once logged in, navigate to the EC2 dashboard by searching for EC2 in the AWS search bar.
Viewing and Launching Instances
Click on Instances in the EC2 dashboard to view running instances. If launching a new instance, select Launch Instance, choose Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, and configure security settings.
