Issues

I had small issues here and there with the spelling of the commands I used to achieve the deliverables, yet the biggest issue I had was just trying to get into AWS to start the milestone in the first place. Every time I tried to work on the milestone, 10-15 minutes in I am kicked out of AWS and have to reinsert the credentials to access my account through the command line. I use AWS for Adam's Cloud Admin class and I had the same issues and it also seems to lead that the region server was down. I also seemed to have had issues with achieving a password-less SSH login to the instance, and I found the problem to be that the SSH service couldn't find the key on my side cause it wasn't in the default file used when making the SSH keys. So I just copied it over and it was fine after that. Other than that I loved working with AWS for this class.
