setup-aws-ec2

Automating AWS EC2 provisioning creates a complete network environment, including VPC, public subnet, internet gateway, and route tables, alongside a launched Ubuntu 24.04 LTS instance. It returns the instance ID and public IP address for immediate use.

Launching an Ubuntu 24.04 LTS EC2 instance without manual console configuration is possible by automating API interactions. The process provisions the instance within a new VPC and configures a security group for SSH access, returning the server's public IP.

AWS credentials are required to provision a VPC and public subnet for an EC2 server. The provisioning process utilizes these credentials to authenticate API interactions for creating the network infrastructure and launching the compute instance.

When setting up a new AWS EC2 server environment, the security group is configured to allow only SSH access by default. This security-focused approach ensures the isolated Ubuntu server is protected from unauthorized network traffic.

Provisioning a complete AWS EC2 server environment includes creating a VPC, public subnet, internet gateway, route tables, and a security group. It also launches an Ubuntu 24.04 LTS instance with a specified type, such as t4g.small in us-east-1.
