Step-by-Step Guide:
Step 1: Launching a Windows EC2 Instance
  • Click the “Launch Instance” button.
  • Select a “Windows Server” AMI based on your requirements.
  • In the instance type, set as “t2.micro” as a free tier eligible.

Step 2: Choose an existing key pair or create a new key pair.
  • If you already have an EC2 “key pair“, select it.
  • If not, create a “new key pair“. You’ll use this key pair to securely connect to
    your Windows EC2 instance.
  • Save the file” on your local device. Make sure it is safe.
Step 3: Configure the Security Group and Virtual Private Cloud (VPC):
  • Automatically “assigned public IP” should be “enabled”.
  • Create a “new security group” or select an “existing one”.
  • Define rules to allow HTTP (port 80), RDP (port 3389), and HTTPS (port 443)
    traffic for a web server.
  • Click “Launch” to proceed.


Step 4: Connect your EC2 instance
  • In the RDP Client Tab, click on “Download Remote Desktop File” on your local machine.
  • Click on “Get Password” and “Upload the Private Key“.
  • Click on “Decrypt Password“, then copy your decrypted password.
  • Open the RDP file and “paste” your copied decrypted password.
  • You are successfully connected to your Windows EC2 instance.

Step 5: Windows Instance
  • Navigate to the search bar for “Server Manager” and double-click to open.
  • On the dashboard, on the left panel, click on “Add Roles and Features.”
  • Click on “next” following Server Roles.
  • Click on the “web server (IIS)” and click on “Add feature.”
  • Finally, click on “Install.”


Step 6: Make a webpage file
  • Navigate to “Local Drive (C:)” –> “inetpub” –> “wwwroot”. Delete all the files.
  • Create a new text document and write, “This is my first static webpage.”
  • Save it as “index.html“.


Step 7: Testing Your Static Website
  • Copy the “public IPv4 address” and paste it into a new tab in your browser.
  • The static webpage has been loaded successfully and can see, “This is my first static webpage.”

Congratulations! You’ve successfully launched a Windows EC2 instance on AWS. You can now customize and use it for various purposes, including hosting a static webpage.
