Log on or sign-up to Amazon EC2

Ask someone with the Propsero snap shot to share it with you.

You will need to supply your EC2 account details to your colleague

for them to do this. e.g. 1998-2426-xxxx

Take note of the time zone, it has to be the same as the AMI (will be clear later)

Launch AMI

Zone us-east-1a

(Same as EBS volume)

Create new x509 cert

What is the Host name?

Add Private Key creation

Attach EBS Volume – must have been created in the same time zone as the Instance. E.g. East
