 Hello Everyone

In the last blog, we covered ,  how to create an instance in EC2 for Windows operating systems . Link below 

https://cloudmonkeys20.blogspot.com/2024/02/aws-series-ec2-creation-of-windows.html

In this blog, we are going to cover , how to create an instance for AWS LINUX operation systems, Almost all the steps are same, except the key pair generation Process

In windows operating system - We used .PEM key pair for login authentications

In AWS linux, we can use the same PEM key file [conversion needed]  from .PEM to PPK file

Windows - convert a .pem file to a .ppk file

Download the putty Gen from internet source

Start PuTTYgen, and then convert the .pem file to a .ppk file. For detailed steps, see below

  • Start PuTTYgen. For Actions, choose Load, and then navigate to your .pem file.
  • Choose the .pem file, and then choose Open.
  • From the menu at the top of the PuTTY Key Generator, choose ConversionsExport OpenSSH Key.
  • Note: If you didn't enter a passphrase, then you receive a PuTTYgen warning
  •  Choose Yes.Name the file and add the .ppk extension
  • Choose Save.

Launch the new instance and Name it as you like



AMI - Choose AWS LINUX




In Key pair Section Don't create any,  as we already converted the key pair from putty gen

we have to choose the key from drop down 

Select the PPK file which we converted from puttyGen Tool








Since its LINUX server , its automatically taken as SSH in network section



STORAGE

The capacity is very less, while compare to windows OS as this LINUX platform which consumes much less storage 



finally launch and connect






Happy Learning All 😃
