Amazon Web Server (AWS) Initiation

Upon following the guidelines from EC2 for Poets, I was able to successfully set up my Amazon Web Server (AWS). I felt that the instructions provided were really specific which allowed for an easy set-up. There were only a few areas for which I had complications due to differences in his instructions and my options. For example, once I create a "Key Pair," the file with the 'all mighty powers' would not save and would not open with any program that I used. However, after playing around with it a while, I was able to open and locate the file. Woot! The remote desktop was pretty neat, though not practical for me at this point.

In my opinion, the set-up process was tedious (which I assumed after reading it can take "10 minutes to an hour") and I almost developed a head ache. However, in the end, I was able to complete my mission and had a little extra time to review some of the technical jargon necessary for me to better understand AWS.


Thanks for reading!
