This project involves deploying an AWS EC2 Linux instance and establishing a connection to it using SSH, providing practical experience in deploying cloud infrastructure.
EC2 instance is a virtual server in AWS cloud, while SSH is a secure protocol for remotely accessing and managing EC2 instances securely.
Steps to launch an EC2 instance on AWS: Create an AWS account, search for EC2 in the portal, select 'Launch Instance', choose instance type and AMI, create a key pair, configure security group, review settings, and launch the instance.
After launching the instance, connect using SSH to interact with the operating system remotely, completing the process of creating an EC2 instance on a Linux operating system.
