First Steps: Creating IAM Users
Using AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM), you can create and manage AWS users and groups.
You can control what resources each user has access to within an AWS account.
![Page 8: Getting Started with AWS - July 2016 Webinar Series](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062823/58781f111a28aba12d8b6287/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
First Steps: Enabling MFA
AWS allows you to require multi-factor authentication for your users through physical or software-based single use login tokens. This protects against stolen passwords and key loggers.
Enable this on IAM users and the root account

Amazon EC2 – Creating an SSH key pair
SSH stands for Secure Shell SSH keys are used for secured access to EC2 instances SSH keys avoid password weaknesses You can import your own key or have AWS generate a key pair for you. AWS does not store the private part of the key pair
![Page 11: Getting Started with AWS - July 2016 Webinar Series](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062823/58781f111a28aba12d8b6287/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Amazon EC2 – Creating a Security Group
Security Groups are firewalls for your instances By default, they block all traffic You can choose what protocols and ports to open
You can use port ranges (e.g. 22-24)
You can choose who the ports are open to Create rules with CIDR notation for groups of IP addresses (/32 is a single IP)
Create rules that specify Security Groups for other EC2 Instances

Amazon EC2 – Launching an Instance
Instances are virtual machines running in the cloud You have full control of the instance and can install any
software that you choose You can choose the instance type and size to get different
amounts of memory, CPU, disk, etc. You will need your Key Pair and a Security Group to launch
the instance into
