In this article I will talk about how to create a linux machine in the cloud amazon AWS<\/a>. For testing a trial account can be created.
\nOnce registered, we can connect by using the “Sign In to the Console” button
\n\"signIn\"
\n<\/a>To create an instance, let\u2019s click on EC2 under Compute
\n\"EC2\"<\/a>
\nAnd then let’s use the Launch Instance button
\n\"launch\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We can see the templates \u00a0for building our machine. In our exemple we are going to use a Redhat one.
\n\"template\"<\/a>
\nWe keep the default selected
\n\"redhat\"
\n<\/a><\/span>We keep the default instance details
\n\"instancedetails\"<\/a>
\nBelow the storage details
\n\"storage\"<\/a>
\nThe instance tag
\n\"tag\"
\n<\/a>We keep default values for the security group
\n\"securitygroup\"<\/a>
\nAfter we have the instance review which is resuming our configuration
\n\"instancereview\"
\n<\/a>Before launching the instance, we have to create a key pair. And we have to store the private one we will use to connect using putty for example.
\n\"keypair\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We can finish the process now by clicking on Launch Instances
\n\"launch1\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"launch2\"
\n<\/a>If we click on the Connect tab on the top we have info how to connect. One useful info is the Public DNS <\/span> we will use to connect.
\n\"connect\"
\n<\/a>Now that our instance is ready let\u2019s see how to connect. I am using putty.
\nA few steps ago we have created a key pair \u00a0and we kept the private one with an extension .pem. Using this key we will create a key with a format for putty (.ppk). For this we will use puttygen.
\nJust launch putty key generator and load the .pem key and follow the instructions
\n\"puttygen1\"<\/a>
\n\"puttygen2\"<\/a>
\n\"puttygen3\"<\/a>
\n\"puttygen4\"<\/a>
\n\"puttygen5\"
\n<\/a>And Now we can use putty and load the .ppk private key to connect with the user ec2-user<\/span> which is a built-in user and using the Public DNS<\/span>.
\n\"putty11\"<\/a>
\nClick Browse to load the .ppk file
\n\"putty2\"<\/a><\/p>\n
