Getting started with AWS Console

The AWS Console is a web-based user interface provided by AWS that allows users to access and manage various AWS services and resources through a Graphical User Interface (GUI).

The AWS Console is designed to be user-friendly and accessible from any web browser, allowing users to manage their AWS resources from anywhere with an internet connection. It provides a visual representation of AWS services and resources, making it easier for users to understand and interact with the AWS ecosystem.

Using the Console

During this section, you will deploy an EC2 instance, which is an AWS virtual machine.

To use the Console, you must have an AWS account. The creation process of an AWS account is outside the scope of this book, but you can find all the necessary information on the AWS website at https://aws.amazon.com/free.

Important note

Every example in this book assumes that you have a standalone AWS account that is not part of AWS Organizations...
