Steps

Launch Instances from CLI

AMI IDs:

• Ubuntu: ami-080e1f13689e07408
• Win: ami-03cd80cfebcbb4481

Ubuntu Instance

aws ec2 run-instances --image-id ami-080e1f13689e07408 --count 1 --instance-type t2.micro --key-name nicolas --security-groups default --region us-east-1

Windows Instance

aws ec2 run-instances --image-id ami-03cd80cfebcbb4481 --count 1 --instance-type t2.micro --key-name nicolas --security-groups default --region us-east-1

Describe Instances

aws ec2 describe-instances

Query specific information on Instances from CLI

Use the describe-instances command to just output the instance-ids of running instances (Hint: "instance-id" (query) and "instance-state-name" (filter)

aws ec2 describe-instances --query "Reservations[*].Instances[*].[InstanceId]" --filters Name=instance-state-name,Values=running --output json

Use the describe-instances command to just output the instance-ids and public IP address of running instances (add query for PublicIpAddress - may need to study reference or google for syntax)

aws ec2 describe-instances --query "Reservations[*].Instances[*].[InstanceId, PublicIpAddress]" --filters Name=instance-state-name,Values=running --output json

Use the describe-instances command to just output the instance-ids and public IP address of only Windows, running instances (Hint "platform")

aws ec2 describe-instances --query "Reservations[*].Instances[*].[InstanceId, PublicIpAddress]" --filters Name=instance-state-name,Values=running Name=platform,Values=windows --output json

Use RDP to Connect to your Windows Instance

Allow RDP through security group via my IP

Use AWS to download the RDP file and get the Windows password

Username: Administrator Password: epvMcSrS*8YO9&.ht1T.m3O&F!Qo4hYg

Connect via RDP using the gathered creds

Terminate Instances

aws ec2 terminate-instances --instance-ids i-034e71d012b038e81 i-00bbe601e37e92091
