๐Ÿš€ Day-4: Launched a Linux OS EC2 Instance with Volume Management & Explored Amazon EBS! ๐Ÿ–ฅ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ป

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๏ธโƒฃ Launched a Linux OS EC2 instance on AWS and created a new EBS volume.
2๏ธโƒฃ Attached the volume to the instance, verifying its visibility using df -h and lsblk.
3๏ธโƒฃ Formatted the volume using the mkfs command.
4๏ธโƒฃ Mounted the volume by creating a directory with mkdir and attaching it via mount.
5๏ธโƒฃ 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 ๐ŸŒ

๐Ÿ”น Persistent & Reliable: EBS retains data even when EC2 instances are stopped or terminated, ensuring durability.
๐Ÿ”น Flexible Storage Options: From General Purpose SSDs to Provisioned IOPS SSDs, EBS meets diverse storage needs.
๐Ÿ”น Effortless Scaling: Resize volumes without downtime.
๐Ÿ”น Snapshots for Backup: Secure your data with snapshots for disaster recovery.
๐Ÿ”น 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.
