Begin Your Cloud Journey with Vishal

 So, you have created your EC2 instance, but you just have your instance running; then how can you interact with your instance? You need a terminal or a GUI session to do that. So, that's what we're gonna today. We are going to access our instance from a Kali Linux machine via a terminal emulator program called PuTTY. Before starting with this, make sure that you've installed PuTTY on your Windows/Linux machine. Let's get going! Step 1: Select the instance you wanna connect with. I will be selecting the Assisi-EC2 machine. Step 2: Let me start the instance, so we can connect to it. Step 3: Create a key pair. Give it a proper name - mostly, I'd recommend using the same name as your instance. Select ".ppk" as the key format as we're gonna be using PuTTY. Finally, click on "Create a key pair". It''ll get downloaded to your machine. Save it coz' we'd be using it to connect to our EC2 instance. Step 4: Click on "Connect"....

In this blogpost , we'll be creating an EC2 machine in AWS. First, you need to create an AWS Free Tier account. It'd ask you some information such as your name, address etc. Yeah, it also requires you to make a payment of $1 USD (don't worry, they'll give the amount back) Then, after you sign up for one, it'll lead you to your AWS Console Management Dashboard. In there, you can see some of the services listed. Choose "EC2" from there. In there, type in the stuff such as your instance name, the OS that you wanna use etc. Also make you create a keypair and save it on your machine. I'll tell you know what its used for in my next post. Since you have opted for the free-tier, you'll be given a t2.micro machine to use, so you don't have to fiddle anything with that. Once you're done, click on "Launch Instance" to rocket-launch your instance -- wee! Once it throws the success message on the screen, click on "View all instances"...

  ·         Multiple Locations Amazon EC2 provides the ability to place instances in multiple locations. Amazon EC2 locations are composed of Regions and Availability Zones. Availability Zones are distinct locations that are engineered to be insulated from failures in other Availability Zones and provide inexpensive, low latency network connectivity to other Availability Zones in the same Region. By launching instances in separate Availability Zones, you can protect your applications from failure of a single location. Regions consist of one or more Availability Zones and are geographically dispersed.   ·          Choice of operating systems and software Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) are preconfigured with an ever-growing list of operating systems, including  Microsoft Windows  and Linux distributions such as  Amazon Linux 2 , Ubuntu, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, CentOS, SUSE and Debian.

Roll No: 19BCS103 Assignment Title: Cloud Computing – Worksheet1 Cloud computing...the buzzword that's in the air right now What is it actually?? Let me explain what is cloud computing and also virtualization and its types coz' cloud computing and virtualization go together like bread and butter. Cloud computing in essence means using renting someone else's servers for hosting your application or storing your data or using theirs for any purpose you could imagine. Cloud computing has become very popular for its pay-for-what-you-use economic model. Let me take you back a few years back when organizations need to set up services such as app hosting, storage, other web applications for them. They had to buy hardware which weren't that cheap. They had to hire administrators who can manage the hardware, developers to develop software for their specific requirements which was a lot of overhead for organizations. Fast forward and you have this treasure ches...

Physical to Virtual Migration In this blogpost , let's take a look at how to do P2V (i.e.) Physical to Virtual Migration. To do this, you'd be using your very own OS that you have installed on your system.  Now, download Disk2VHD from SysInternals website. I've added a hyperlink too,  so you don't have to be searching around.  Disk2VHD   It'd be downloaded as a .zip file to your computer. Extract that and open the "disk2vhd" application in the extracted folder.                                          Now, in this exercise, I'd be cloning the OS drive on which, as you might have guessed it, the OS is installed on this logical volume.                                         Then, tick the box corresponding to the C: drive and click the "Create" button beneath to begi...
