20190124 TIL - Connecting AWS EC2 Windows Instance

Connecting AWS EC2 Windows Instance

1. Create a Windows Instance

-I already noted how to create an instance. Last time I created a Ubuntu server instance but this time I created a Windows Server.

2. Connect

-In the instance, right click and click connect.

3. Download Remote Desktop File & Get Password

-With Remote Desktop File, I could enter into my windows instance. For the password, click Get Password. 

(Be sure you have the key AWS gave you)

4. Decrypt Password

Using the key pair, I could get the actual password that could be used for connecting to Windows Instance. This password should be entered when Remote File has executed and asked you the password.

5. Web Server ISS install (Server Manager -> Manage -> Add Roles and Features)

6. Right Click Default Web Site -> Explore

7. Create index.html File

-I used notepad to make an index.html file inside the wwwroot directory. In my index file, it says 'Hello AWS'

8. Check the index page from a browser
-Exit from Remote File. Using any browser, put the Public DNS/index.html. I could see the index page I made from my Windows instance server. Fun & Easy!
