Amazon Web Services LAMP Setup

Welcome! We are here again to explore web services, why we need it?

How web services help us in the development, who is the best service provider for this?

Developing web applications in a traditional way are sometimes tedious as the demand of scaling needed in terms of hardware so for that, we have to increase hardware servers as per demand which is time-consuming and costly

Solution to this problem is AWS (Amazon web services) which helps us in providing the the best solution and can help us scale up or down based on the demand.

Amazon backed this support with massive infrastructure. Only we have to access, compute whenever required.

What is AWS?

Before we begin with AWS lets first understand, what cloud computing is? 

Cloud Computing- the cloud is just a metaphor for the internet. Cloud computing is one of the major revolutions for today’s computing, it's trending nowadays and every small and big organization is moving on to the cloud. It’s an increasing technology which is connected with the traditional system, distributed system, and virtual system.

To implement cloud computing we need cloud a service provider such as Amazon which creates subsidiary AWS in 2006 and introduced EC2, IBM

Google cloud application comes in 2009. Microsoft introduced its application, Microsoft Azure, in 2010, etc.

These services provide users to develop applications in a cloud environment and can easily access them from anywhere.

Cloud uses the internet as a communication medium, cloud data are stored and accessed in a remote server (virtual system) with the the help of cloud service provider services.

AWS (Amazon Web Services)-It’s a service which works on cloud service platform which helps users to compute, store data and deliver the content

One of this web service is Amazon Elastic compute cloud (EC2)

Amazon EC2 provides resizable compute capacity in the cloud. It is designed to make web-scale computing easier for developers.

Amazon EC2’s simple web service interface that allows you to obtain and configure capacity with minimal friction. It provides you with complete control of your computing resources and lets you run on amazon’s proven environment.

Amazon’s EC2 Services

·       Flexible cloud hosting services

·       Designed for use within the AWS

·       Reliable

·       Secure

·       Inexpensive

Setting up LAMP server using Amazon EC2

Before setting the LAMP server, what is LAMP?

LAMP is the open-source software stack that provides users an advanced framework to create web applications. It uses Linux as the operating system, Apache as the webserver, MySQL as a relational database and PHP as a language. We can use python too as another language.

Let’s begin with setting up Amazon EC2

Step 1: Sign up for AWS / Use your Amazon user id and password

After your signup for AWS, your Aws account will be signed up for all the services. You will only be charged for the services you use. In Amazon EC2

You only pay for what you use. You can see all the services listed in the image below.

After this we can check with the services we signed in the below image 

We are using Amazon EC2 here to create an instance in LINUX, Let’s begin    looking how we create instances in Linux using AWS EC2.

In services, there is an option to create and launch instance in Linux.

Now follow the step by step instructions to create an instance in LINUX

Step 1: We have to choose an amazon machine image and select the 64bit version. 

Step 2:Now we have to choose the type of the instance 

Step 3: we are now configuring the instance details like

the number of instances, network, etc.

Step 4: Now we need to add the storage

Step 5: Define the tag with key =Name, value = Webserver

Step 6:Is to configure security group and provide a description with all the protocols selected.

Step 7: Final step is to review your instance and launch and now you are ready to go.

These are the snippets used in our video and course from our experienced developers having expertise in AWS. To learn more to create instances on different platforms kindly watch the youtube video below.
