Launching Your First EC2 Instance

Learn to provision and configure a virtual server (EC2 instance) in the AWS cloud, choosing appropriate instance types and AMIs.

Start Your EC2 Journey

Time to launch your first EC2 instance. The key choices: an Amazon Machine Image (the OS) and an instance type (the hardware specs).

What's an Amazon Machine Image?

An AMI is the blueprint for your instance — a pre-configured template bundling an OS and often software, like a snapshot of a ready-to-go server.
