AWS CLI: Launch EC2 Instance Guide

How to Launch an EC2 Instance Using AWS CLI

Tasks

Create an EC2 instance using AWS CLI under default VPC with the following details:

• The name of the instance must be datacenter-ec2.

• You can use the ami-0cd59ecaf368e5ccf AMI to launch this instance.

• The instance type must be t2.micro.

• Create a new RSA key pair named datacenter-kp.

• Attach the default security group (available by default).

Steps

1. Create a new RSA key pair named datacenter-kp:

    aws ec2 create-key-pair --key-name datacenter-kp --query 'KeyMaterial' --output text > datacenter-kp.pem

2. Launch an EC2 instance with the specified AMI and instance type, and assign it the name datacenter-ec2:

    aws ec2 run-instances --image-id ami-0cd59ecaf368e5ccf --count 1 --instance-type t2.micro --key-name datacenter-kp --security-groups default --tag-specifications 'ResourceType=instance,Tags=[{Key=Name,Value=datacenter-ec2}]'

   
3. Ensure the key pair file has the correct permissions:

    chmod 400 datacenter-kp.pem
