EC2 Checklist

  • AMI, images used to create virtual machines

  • It's possible to create a malicious image to compromise users

  • We can access an instance using SSH Keys, EC2 Instance Connect, Session Manager

  • The SSH Key method is permanent, we need to gather the private key to connect to the instance

  • EC2 Instance connect is an IAM right that we can add to a user, enabling us to temporarily connect to an instance

  • Session manager only work in browser and it does not need SSH Key

  • Windows machines can be accessed by using RDP, Session Manager

  • Security Groups acts as a virtual firewall to control inbound and outbound traffic, acts at the instance level, not the subnet level.
