Introduction to Amazon EC2
Overview
In this workshop, you will explore Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) and its essential features. You’ll learn how to establish connections and deploy a sample application called AWS User Management. This Node.js application provides basic CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) functionality for managing users, allowing you to add, remove, modify, and retrieve user information. Users can also exchange data with each other. You’ll deploy the AWS User Management application on both Windows and Linux environments.
ℹ️ Information: All instructions in this guide have been thoroughly tested on Microsoft Windows Server 2022 and Amazon Linux 2023, ensuring compatibility with the latest AWS infrastructure.
