[SAMPLE]

Practical No. 1:

Practical Title: Sign up for AWS, Explore Free-Tier Services, and Launch
EC2 Instances using Ubuntu and Windows

Objective:
• To create an AWS account and explore free-tier services.
• To launch an EC2 instance with Ubuntu and Windows OS.

Step-by-Step Procedure with Screenshots:

Step 1: AWS Account Signup
1. Visit AWS Portal: Open AWS Official Website (https://aws.amazon.com/) and click on
"Create an AWS Account".
2. Enter Account Details: Provide your email address, set an AWS account name, and click
"Continue".
3. Billing Information: Enter credit/debit card details (AWS Free Tier is available but requires
card verification).
4. Identity Verification: Enter the OTP received on your registered mobile number.
5. Select Support Plan: Choose "Free Tier (Basic Support)".
6. Sign in to AWS Console: Once the account is activated, log in using your credentials.

Step 2: Exploring AWS Free-Tier Services

1. Navigate to AWS Management Console and explore services like EC2, S3, Lambda, RDS,
and more.
2. Check Free-Tier Dashboard: Go to Billing Dashboard → Free Tier to view available services.

Step 3: Launching EC2 Instances (Ubuntu & Windows)

(a) Launching an Ubuntu EC2 Instance

1. Open EC2 Service: Navigate to AWS Management Console → EC2 → Launch Instance.
2. Choose Amazon Machine Image (AMI): Select Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Free-Tier Eligible).
3. Choose Instance Type: Select t2.micro (1 vCPU, 1GB RAM, Free-Tier Eligible).

4. Configure Instance: Keep default settings.

5. Add Storage: Default 8GB EBS is selected.
6. Add Tags: Add Name → Ubuntu_Instance (optional).
7. Configure Security Group: Allow SSH (Port 22) for remote access.
8. Create Key Pair: Create a new key pair (e.g., ubuntu-key.pem) and download it.
9. Review and Launch: Click "Launch" and wait for the instance to start.
10. Connect to Ubuntu Instance using SSH: ssh -i ubuntu-key.pem ubuntu@<Public_IP>

(b) Launching Windows EC2 Instance

1. Repeat Steps 1-3 from Ubuntu EC2 Instance and choose Windows Server 2022 AMI.
2. Configure Security Group: Allow RDP (Port 3389) for remote desktop access.
3. Create a Key Pair: Download the key file for decrypting the administrator password.
4. Launch and Connect: Click "Launch" and wait for the instance to start.
5. Get Password: Select Windows instance, click "Get Password", upload key file, and decrypt.
6. Open Remote Desktop Connection (RDP) and enter credentials.

Learning Outcomes:

 Successfully signed up for AWS and explored free-tier services.

 Launched and connected to EC2 instances using both Ubuntu and Windows.
 AWS provides a free-tier environment for cloud computing. We created EC2 instances and
accessed them using SSH (Ubuntu) and RDP (Windows). This experiment demonstrated the
fundamentals of launching and managing virtual machines on AWS.
