Amazon Web Services (AWS) - Hands On

Log in to the AWS management console as the root user or an IAM user. Learn to create and use a key pair for EC2 in your chosen region.

Create a key pair in the AWS console, generate a public and private key, download the pem private key, and convert it to ppk with puttygen to access resources.

select a region and availability zone in the AWS management console to create virtual servers, using EC2, S3, and VPC, with examples from Mumbai and Ohio to illustrate fault tolerance.

Learn to access a Linux instance using Putty, install httpd and php on Amazon Linux 2023, create a web page, and stabilize the address with elastic IP.

Change an EC2 instance from t2.micro to t3.micro by stopping, applying the change, and starting; allocate and attach an elastic IP, then terminate the instance and release the IP.

Discover four storage types—DAS, NAS, SAN, and object storage—and how AWS maps them to instance storage, EFS, EBS, and S3 for file, block, and browser-based storage.

Attach a 2 GB EBS volume to a Windows instance, initialize with MBR, format as a FAT simple volume, write a test file, then detach and reattach to Linux.

Compare instance store and Elastic Block Storage (EBS) in AWS EC2: instance store is direct attached storage, while EBS is the SAN option, and termination preserves EBS volumes.

Create a public S3 bucket, upload index.html (and optional error.html), enable static website hosting, and manage the website address and resource deletion for simple deployment.

Mount EFS via IP when DNS fails, verify with df -h, and open port 2049 for NFS; EFS is NAS with EBS SAN and S3 object storage.

Install the mysql client on a Linux instance, connect to the RDS endpoint, create a test database and staff table, insert records, and delete the instance with optional snapshot.

Verify deletion of the database instance in the AWS dashboard, noting no running instances, and discuss RDS basics, public access versus private subnet deployment for fault-tolerant, two-zone production setups.

Create public subnets pub1 and pub2 with 10.0.10.0/24 and 10.0.20.0/24, private subnets pri1 and pri2 with 10.0.30.0/24 and 10.0.40.0/24, in ap-south-1a and ap-south-1b, with auto assign enabled.

Describe setting up a VPC with public and private subnets, Internet gateway, routing, and security groups; deploy a web server with MySQL back end and a data-reading app, delete resources.

Set up three EC2 instances across two zones, install Apache, and host server1, server2, and server3, then configure an application load balancer with path-based routing.

Demonstrates setting up an application load balancer with three ec2 instances, configuring a target group and health checks, and implementing path based routing for /demo.

Learn how to configure a network load balancer (nlb) on layer 4, set IPv4, create target groups with HTTP health checks, and distribute traffic across three EC2 instances.

Terminate lab resources after building the load balancing lab, deleting instances, snapshots, and the web server security group, confirming the ALB with path-based routing and the NLB are cleaned up.
