AWS How to Launch an EC2 instance? - Step by Step tutorial (Part-4)

🚀 Hello, AWS explorers! I'm [Your Name], and today we're demystifying one of the foundational services in AWS - the Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2). If you've ever wanted to launch your own virtual server in the cloud, then you're in the right place!
Today's EC2 Journey Involves:
1. Creating Your First EC2 Instance: Understand the ins and outs of instance creation, from selecting the right AMI to choosing your instance type.
2. Generating an SSH Key Pair: Safety first! We'll create a secure key pair to ensure safe access to our instance.
Associating the Key Pair with Our EC2 Instance: Here's where the magic happens. This key ensures only YOU can access your instance.
3. Launching the EC2 Instance: With everything set, let's launch and see our server come to life!
SSHing into the EC2 Instance: We'll use our private key to securely access the instance, and I'll guide you through it.
4. Terminating the EC2 Instance: All good things come to an end. Learn how to safely shut down and terminate your instance.
🚀 Why Learn About EC2?
EC2 forms the backbone of many AWS services. By mastering this, you're equipping yourself with a fundamental skill that's vital for any AWS venture.

Dear Rahul,
I wanted to express my deepest gratitude to you for creating such an incredible AWS tutorial series on your RUclips channel. As a newcomer to AWS, I spent the past week tirelessly searching for the best courses for beginners. It was then that the RUclips search engine led me to your channel, and I can honestly say it's been a game-changer for me.
Your dedication to breaking down complex AWS services and explaining them in a beginner-friendly manner has been immensely valuable. I've gained a solid understanding of IAM, user creation, and Assume role, Access policy and permissions etc. All thanks to the comprehensive insights provided in your previous parts 1, 2, and 3.
Your series has not only equipped me with essential knowledge but has also instilled confidence in navigating the AWS ecosystem. I can't thank you enough for sharing your expertise and making the learning process enjoyable.
Please know that your efforts have made a significant impact on my AWS journey, and I eagerly look forward to each new installment in your series. Your generosity in sharing your knowledge is truly commendable, and I feel blessed to have stumbled upon your channel.
May you continue to inspire and educate countless others. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and God bless you abundantly.
Warm regards, ❤

our devs use putty to access our ec2 ubuntus
we email them the key pair.
now, is there a better way to send or to store those key pairs to avoid it getting leaked?

[@RahulWagh]

Use vaults for example hashicorp vault

Excellent explanation. I am really loving and enjoying your teaching!! Having said that, in the event I have forgotten to create a Key Pair, how may I add a Key Pair to SSH, please?
