Nginx is a high-performance HTTP server, reverse proxy server, and an IMAP/POP3 proxy server. It is known for its stability, rich feature set, simple configuration, and low resource consumption.

Here's how to install and configure Nginx on an Ubuntu system.

Step 1: launch an instance.

Step 2: connect to instance.

Step 3: First, update your package lists to ensure you get the latest version and dependencies:

Sudo apt-get update

Step 4: Install nginx.

Install Nginx using the package manager.

Sudo apt-get install nginx

Step 5: Start and Enable Nginx

Start the Nginx service:

Sudo systemctl restart nginx

Sudo systemctl enable nginx

Step 6: Verify Nginx Installation

To check if Nginx is running, you can use:

sudo systemctl status nginx

upload application code file.

Change application code in /var/ www/html/index.nginx-debian.html file.

check the webpage using public ip address.

Public IP of EC2 Instance.

By above these steps, you will have a fully functional Nginx server on your Ubuntu system, ready to serve static or dynamic content, act as a reverse proxy, or perform other advanced tasks.
