Resource Specifications
Please find below the services we can practice as well as the resource specifications/features.
Its highly recommended to work only on t2.micro instances for the purposes of training
Service Technology Stack Specifications

EC2 Compute t2.micro, 1CPU, 1GB RAM, 10GB SSD
ELB Compute internet facing with round robin
AS Compute Default
VPC Network VPC, subnets, multi-AZ, IGW
S3 Storage standard storage class, no encryption
Glacier Storage lifecycling from S3 after 45 days
RDS Database db.t2micro, 1CPU, 1GB RAM, 5GB

AWS Lab Portal
Go to the below portal to access the lab https://413834863113.signin.aws.amazon.com/console
Get Credentials from the trainer

VPC
6
VPC Build Procedure
Create VPC, you

need to give the
name and CIDR
block
7
VPC Build Procedure
By default a routing
table is created for
routing within VPC
8
VPC Build Procedure
If you want to access

internet from VPC
resources, you need to
create an Internet
Gateway (IGW) and
attach to the VPC
Alternatively you could

also create a NAT
gateway and point route
to that if you don’t want
the machine to be on
direct internet
9
VPC Build Procedure
10
VPC Build Procedure
Next you need to goto

routing table and add a
route pointing to IGW
Once this is done you

could access the internet
directly from the machines
You can create subnets

within VPC and launch
compute resources from
those subnets
11
EC2
12
EC2 Dashboard
This is the EC2

dashboard where
you can see the
status of all
resources running.
You can also look

at status of services
running in this
region below
13
EC2 Launch Procedure
Choose t2.micro, pay

importance to the
keyword “Free tier
eligible” in green label
If you choose anything

other than this it might be
chargable
14
For Choose
default vpc or if
you have already
created one, you
can select that
If you choose
auto-assign public
IP as enable, you
will get a public IP
and can access
from internet
Choose other
values as
indicated
15
Here as well as other

screens click on the “I”
circle next to column
names. It will give you
more information
16
Tagging is a
best practice to
identify by
name/dept.
It will help in
generating
reports
tagwise..
17
It’s a good idea to

allow only the ports
that are required for
internet/internal
access as a layer of
security
18

If you are doing first

time, please
download key pair
and keep it safe, else
you cant connect to it
20

22
Once you download the private

key which is a .pem file, it needs to
be converted to .ppk format using
puttygen software.
After which you should load the

.ppk file in putty software and
connect to the linux instance via
ssh
For windows instance we use rdp

and not putty software

EIP
41
EIP Procedure
When you click

“Allocate New
Address”, it will ask for
a confirmation and
provide you with a
public IP
42
EIP Procedure
Choose the EIP and

click actions and
choose “associate
address”
43
EIP Procedure
44
EIP Procedure
Now you can ssh to the instance
with the public IP…in this case it’s
a Ubuntu instance. It can also be a
windows instance, in that case we
rdp.
Either case ensure that the

appropriate security groups are
allowed with required ports
45
ELB
46
ELB Launch Procedure
47
48
Choose the
subnet for each
AZ between
which you want
to do load
balancing
49
50
You can add

listeners as
required

Add instances
between which you
want to do load
