Big(ger) Data<br />

In EC2 parlance, a running server is called an instance. So now, we want to select<br />

Launch Instance. Now, follow the classic wizard. Select the Amazon Linux option<br />

(if you are familiar with one of the other offered Linux distributions, such as Red<br />

Hat, SuSe, or Ubuntu, you can also select one of those, but the configurations will be<br />

slightly different). We will start with one instance of the T1.micro type. This is the<br />

smallest possible machine, and it is free. Accept all of the defaults until you come to<br />

the screen mentioning a key pair:<br />

We will pick the name awskeys for the key pair. Then, click on the Create &<br />

Download your Key Pair button to download the awskeys.pem file. Save that<br />

file somewhere safe! This is the Secure Shell (SSH) key that will enable you to<br />

log in to your cloud machine. Accept the remaining defaults and your instance<br />

will launch.<br />

You will now need to wait for about a minute for your instance to come up.<br />

Eventually, the instance will be shown in green with the status "running."<br />

Right-clicking on it and selecting the Connect option will bring up instructions<br />

on how to connect. The following will be a standard SSH command of the form:<br />

ssh -i awskeys.pem ec2-user@ec2-54-244-194-143.us-west-2.compute.<br />

amazonaws.com<br />
