Hosting a Simple Website on an Amazon EC2 Virtual Server
This project demonstrates how to host a simple website using Amazon EC2, a cloud-based virtual server service provided by AWS. The objective is to understand the fundamentals of cloud computing by launching a virtual machine, configuring network access, installing a web server, and publishing a webpage that can be accessed through the internet.
Websites and web applications require servers to store files and deliver content to users over the internet. Traditionally, organizations had to purchase and maintain physical servers, which could be costly and difficult to scale. Cloud computing solves this problem by providing virtual servers on demand. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) is a service offered by AWS that allows users to quickly launch and manage virtual machines in the cloud.
This project focuses on hosting a simple website using an Amazon EC2 instance. It demonstrates the process of creating a virtual server, configuring security settings, installing a web server, and making a webpage accessible through a public IP address. The project provides practical experience with core AWS services and helps in understanding the fundamentals of cloud infrastructure, server management, and web hosting in a cloud environment.
