AWS Nginx

AWS (Amazon Web Services) is a cloud services platform that provides a broad set of infrastructure services such as computing power, storage options, networking and databases, among others. It is used by businesses of all sizes to build and deliver wide-ranging applications and services.

To deploy Nginx on AWS, you can follow these general steps:

1. **Create an EC2 instance**: Open the AWS Management Console, navigate to the EC2 Dashboard and click “Launch Instance”. Choose an AMI (Amazon Machine Image) of your preference that will support Nginx. The most common choices are Ubuntu Server, Amazon Linux, or CentOS.

2. **Configure your instance**: Choose the instance type (t2.micro is usually sufficient for a basic web server), configure instance details, add storage, and optionally add tags for easier management of your instances.

3. **Set up Security Groups**: These act like a firewall for your instance. You’ll need to add rules to allow incoming traffic on HTTP (port 80), HTTPS (port 443), and SSH (port 22) at minimum.

4. **Review and launch**: Review your instance configuration and click “Launch”. You’ll be prompted to select an existing key pair or create a new one. This key pair will be used to SSH into your instance.

5. **Connect to your instance**: Using an SSH client and the key pair you selected or created in the previous step, connect to your instance.

6. **Install Nginx**: Once connected to your instance, you can install Nginx. For Amazon Linux, you would use the command `sudo yum install nginx`. For Ubuntu, you would use `sudo apt-get update` followed by `sudo apt-get install nginx`.

7. **Start Nginx**: After installation, start the Nginx service with `sudo service nginx start` or `sudo systemctl start nginx` depending on your Linux distro.

8. **Test your server**: You should now be able to see the default Nginx welcome page by entering the public IP address of your EC2 instance in a web browser.
