Logging in to EC2 Instances

In Chapter 2, Launching an EC2 Instance, we covered the process of launching EC2 instances. In this chapter, we will cover how to connect to them.

The topics that we will cover are as follows:

Key pairs
Logging in to Linux instances
Adding Linux users
Logging in to Windows instances

Key pairs consist of a public key and a private key, and are used to securely connect to your instances. The process is different for Linux and Windows instances. We will discuss ways to generate the keys, and then use them to log in to your instances.
