ssh -i <path to pem file> <username>@<ipaddress>

AWS

• In AWS the service to create vms is called as EC2
• The OS is chosen by AMI (Amazon Machine Image)
• number of vCPUs and RAM size is chosen by instance size
• The size which is free for 750 hours is t2.micro (t3.micro)
• SSH Private Key and public key is managed by AWS EC2 key pairs
• Follow the steps below to create an ec2 instance
