๐ Day-4: Launched a Linux OS EC2 Instance with Volume Management & Explored Amazon EBS! ๐ฅ๏ธ๐ป
Step-by-Steps
Today was a productive day working with AWS cloud infrastructure, focusing on EC2 and EBS storage management. Here's a breakdown of what I achieved:
Task 1: Linux OS EC2 Instance with Volume Management
1๏ธโฃ Launched a Linux OS EC2 instance on AWS and created a new EBS volume.
2๏ธโฃ Attached the volume to the instance, verifying its visibility using df -h
and lsblk
.
3๏ธโฃ Formatted the volume using the mkfs
command.
4๏ธโฃ Mounted the volume by creating a directory with mkdir
and attaching it via mount
.
5๏ธโฃ Optimized the storage by resizing the volume with resize2fs
.
It was a great hands-on learning experience with AWS EC2 and essential Linux commands like df -h
, lsblk
, mkfs
, mkdir
, mount
, and resize2fs
.
Task 2: Exploring Amazon EBS: Your Go-To Block Storage for EC2 Instances ๐
๐น Persistent & Reliable: EBS retains data even when EC2 instances are stopped or terminated, ensuring durability.
๐น Flexible Storage Options: From General Purpose SSDs to Provisioned IOPS SSDs, EBS meets diverse storage needs.
๐น Effortless Scaling: Resize volumes without downtime.
๐น Snapshots for Backup: Secure your data with snapshots for disaster recovery.
๐น Security Built-In: EBS volumes are encrypted at rest with AWS KMS, safeguarding data.
Amazon EBS is a game-changer for building secure, scalable, and resilient cloud solutions in AWS.
