Begin by setting up an AWS account and configuring your billing preferences. Make sure you have access to the AWS Management Console.
-
Step 2: Initial Setup
Use AWS CloudFormation templates to automate the creation of a VPC and necessary subnets. This reduces manual configuration errors.
-
Step 3: Execution
Launch an EC2 instance within your VPC using predefined templates and configure security groups to allow SSH access.
-
Step 4: Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues during the setup, review the CloudFormation logs for error details or use CloudWatch to monitor instance performance.
