These a the Publishing Steps for AWS and EC2

High Level Overview

Using the AWS service you can create an EC2 instance that will be used to deploy your web application. For safety it is good practice to allocate an elastic ip for your EC2 instance. This instance allows you to publish your web application to a domain that is connected to the elastic ip.
Step 1: Getting on AWS
Step 2: Getting into EC2 instance
Step 3: Getting an Elastic IP Address

The step by step process of web publishing

Step 1: Getting on AWS

  1. To get on AWS you would launch an academy learner lab from the CS3550 canvas page
  2. Next, you would hit start lab and wait for the AWS indicator to turn green. This might take some time, but once it is running you should be good for 4 hours unless shut off.
  3. Once that indicator is green, you can click the AWS link next to the green icon and that will bring you to the AWS dashboard.

Step 2: Getting into EC2 instance

From the top of the dashboard, use the search bar to search for EC2, then open the EC2 service link then find and click launch instance

Within the instace you will want to fill out all the necessary information like:

  1. Name and tags
  2. Application and OS
  3. Amazon machine image
  4. Instance type
  5. Key/Pair
  6. Network settings
  7. Configure storage
  8. Advanced details (Optional)

Once you have filled in all information, click launch instance.
Then once you launch the instance, you should be able to click on instance ID that is generated and open the summary.

Step 3: Getting an Elastic IP Address

Navigate to the EC2 page, then navigate to the elastic ip page.
From here, click allocate elastic ip address. Create a new tag for your elastic ip. Once that is done navigate back into the elastic ip that was created and make sure your resource type is instance and within the search bar select the EC2 instance you created earlier.
