Introduction
Cloud Computing is a fundamental skill for DevOps professionals. This document outlines the steps I took to install and configure an NGINX web server on an AWS EC2 instance with an Ubuntu image installed. The goal here is to deploy a functional web server on AWS cloud infrastructure.
Project Setup
Deploy AWS EC2 Instance
- My instance name: My Nginx Server
- AMI: Ubuntu Server 24.04

- Key pair: nginx-web-key
- SG: Allow SSH traffic from 0.0.0.0/0
Connect to the EC2 instance
- Connect to the EC2 instance using the EC2 CMD and run sudo apt update to update the package list.
- Run Sudo apt install nginx -y to install the Nginx package.
- Start and enable Nginx on the web server
Configure the html page, run sudo nano /var/www/html/index.html
Edit the html contant
Save and exit.
- Restart and check the status of the Nginx package.
