00:00:00,030  -->  00:00:05,520
and welcome back to BackSpace Academy. In
this lesson I'm going to run through

2

00:00:05,520  -->  00:00:11,490
what we previously did with connecting
to ec2 windows and ec2 Linux instances

3

00:00:11,490  -->  00:00:18,029
but I'm going to do it using a Mac
instead of using a Windows PC so if

4

00:00:18,029  -->  00:00:23,279
you're a Windows PC user you can skip
over this lesson it's not for you. So now

5

00:00:23,279  -->  00:00:29,490
in the ec2 management console will
launch an instance and we'll select the

6

00:00:29,490  -->  00:00:49,079
Amazon Linux AMI and a t2 Nano and we'll
auto assign a public IP. We'll skip over

7

00:00:49,079  -->  00:00:55,170
that and we'll go to security group so
we've got a security group there for SSH

8

00:00:55,170  -->  00:01:04,530
on port 22 which is fine for us so we
just review and launch so I'm just going

9

00:01:04,530  -->  00:01:14,180
to create a new key pair here okay so
now we'll just download that keep in and

10

00:01:14,180  -->  00:01:17,930
I'll launch that instance

11

00:01:26,780  -->  00:01:30,500
okay so that's currently pending and
after a certain amount of time it will

12

00:01:30,500  -->  00:01:38,030
be up and running okay we can see there
now that our ec2 instance is up and

13

00:01:38,030  -->  00:01:43,729
running so we just select that and then
we'll click on connect. So the first

14

00:01:43,729  -->  00:01:48,440
thing we need to do is to change
permissions on our pem. file that we

15

00:01:48,440  -->  00:01:52,369
downloaded previously when we created
the ec2 instance and then once we've

16

00:01:52,369  -->  00:01:59,140
done that we can connect to our instance
using the terminal using that endpoint

17

00:01:59,140  -->  00:02:14,800
So I'm just going to jump into the
terminal and I'm just going to create a

18

00:02:14,800  -->  00:02:20,290
directory for putting this key pair into
there

19

00:02:24,220  -->  00:02:31,790
Okay so just created that there now and
so I'll just CD into that now

20

00:02:31,790  -->  00:02:37,130
I'll just jump back in and grab that
file and I'll put it into that location

21

00:02:37,130  -->  00:02:41,080
So first of all I'll just get Finder up

22

00:02:42,910  -->  00:02:51,459
and there's the key pairs directory. Back
into Chrome and grab that file

23

00:03:02,750  -->  00:03:06,590
I am going to copy that file
over to the key pairs directory that I just

24

00:03:06,590  -->  00:03:21,470
created. Okay so that's that done. Okay so
it's fine. So now it's just got to create

25

00:03:21,470  -->  00:03:26,209
or to do a command to change the
permissions on that file. So I just jump

26

00:03:26,209  -->  00:03:31,780
back into here grab that command, save me typing it out

27

00:03:43,700  -->  00:03:48,240
just put your password in there and
that's change the permissions on that

28

00:03:48,240  -->  00:03:55,800
for us. So now we've got that that key
pair file located there and we're in

29

00:03:55,800  -->  00:04:01,020
that directory where our key pair is, so we
can now look at connecting into our

30

00:04:01,020  -->  00:04:06,560
instance through the terminal. So I just
jump back into Chrome just grab this and

31

00:04:06,560  -->  00:04:10,770
AWS made life a lot easier for us
here so there's it's given us the actual

32

00:04:10,770  -->  00:04:19,830
command that we need to use in terminal. So we just copy that over and place that

33

00:04:19,830  -->  00:04:35,610
in and just typing is for that and there
we go we eventually connect it into the

34

00:04:35,610  -->  00:04:45,150
Linux instance in and so we can do our
sudo yum update if we want and there we

35

00:04:45,150  -->  00:04:54,360
go. So we've success successfully
connected into our Linux instance using

36

00:04:54,360  -->  00:04:59,130
a Mac something new for me I'm not a Mac
user so it was quite interesting to get

37

00:04:59,130  -->  00:05:04,440
to do this that life is a lot easier for
Macs as compared to Windows. So this as

38

00:05:04,440  -->  00:05:08,040
you can see we just go straight into
terminal there's no using putty or

39

00:05:08,040  -->  00:05:12,210
anything like that you just go straight
in and and it's it's a lot easier it's

40

00:05:12,210  -->  00:05:18,420
very easy very similar to the process
that you use with with Linux as well. So

41

00:05:18,420  -->  00:05:22,380
now that we've launched an ec2 instance
we have connected into it with SSH and

42

00:05:22,380  -->  00:05:27,510
we've run some commands in the terminal
from our Mac this will have a look now

43

00:05:27,510  -->  00:05:34,200
at using SFTP to transfer files from our
Mac across to the EBS volume that is

44

00:05:34,200  -->  00:05:41,310
attached to our ec2 instance. So we use
FileZilla the same as we would with

45

00:05:41,310  -->  00:05:45,630
Windows so just go to the FileZilla website and download and install

46

00:05:45,630  -->  00:05:53,240
FileZilla then once you've got it up and
running just go to file site manager and

47

00:05:53,240  -->  00:05:58,330
then create a new site
now our host will be the public IP

48

00:05:58,330  -->  00:06:04,180
address of our ec2 instance. So I'm just
going to jump back into the browser

49

00:06:04,180  -->  00:06:10,930
and I can see here this is the public IP
address of that ec2 instance that I want

50

00:06:10,930  -->  00:06:21,460
to connect to and we're going to connect
on with port 22 for SSH and our protocol

51

00:06:21,460  -->  00:06:30,669
will be SSH File Transfer Protocol or
SFTP and we're going to be logging on

52

00:06:30,669  -->  00:06:36,850
using our key file or our key pair so
what we need to do is just browse for

53

00:06:36,850  -->  00:06:45,669
that key pair and we just download that
and there it is now our our user because

54

00:06:45,669  -->  00:06:57,400
it is in an amazon linux ami you will be
ec2 - user will be the user if it was

55

00:06:57,400  -->  00:07:04,360
an Ubuntu AMI, the user would
be ubuntu. So we just connect into

56

00:07:04,360  -->  00:07:13,979
that now and just trust this host not a
problem

57

00:07:17,130  -->  00:07:22,660
So just connect it in its retrieving the
home directory of this and there we can

58

00:07:22,660  -->  00:07:27,010
see so we've got our our EBS volume that
we're having a look at now so we've got

59

00:07:27,010  -->  00:07:34,090
our home directory then which is ec2
user and that looks all pretty good. So

60

00:07:34,090  -->  00:07:40,539
now we'll look at connecting to a
Windows Server instance from the Mac so

61

00:07:40,539  -->  00:07:45,580
again let's launch an instance so this
time we're going to look for a Windows

62

00:07:45,580  -->  00:07:51,190
Server standard edition, we don't want
the data center edition, we're looking

63

00:07:51,190  -->  00:07:56,410
for a, so here we go, so Microsoft Windows
2012 Standard Edition is the one we're

64

00:07:56,410  -->  00:08:01,870
looking for.
So we'll select that we'll select a nano

65

00:08:01,870  -->  00:08:04,650
instance for that

66

00:08:05,690  -->  00:08:11,690
and we'll go along and we'll make sure
that there's a public IP enabled we

67

00:08:11,690  -->  00:08:16,760
don't need to add storage or tags but we
need to configure a security group so

68

00:08:16,760  -->  00:08:20,900
obviously we need double three eight
nine for RDP connection to a Windows

69

00:08:20,900  -->  00:08:27,890
Server instance. So that will be fine for
us. So just review and launch and we'll

70

00:08:27,890  -->  00:08:41,450
use the same key pair that we used
before and we'll just wait for that to

71

00:08:41,450  -->  00:08:47,900
boot up okay so our ec2 instance theory
is up and running so let's just have a

72

00:08:47,900  -->  00:08:54,820
look at that so what we can do now is
that we can get our Windows password and

73

00:08:54,820  -->  00:09:00,860
we do that by opening our keep part
I'll keep here and then we get their

74

00:09:00,860  -->  00:09:06,710
contents into this box here so let's
open that up so there's our PEM file

75

00:09:06,710  -->  00:09:14,650
that we downloaded previously and now we
decrypt the password. So there's our

76

00:09:14,650  -->  00:09:19,220
endpoint for this server and this is our
username as an administrator and our

77

00:09:19,220  -->  00:09:24,830
password there so we just need to go
into an RDP client now on Mac the one

78

00:09:24,830  -->  00:09:30,050
that I've found seems to be quite
reliable is called Cord. So just go to

79

00:09:30,050  -->  00:09:35,300
Google and typing cord RDP and you'll
find the website for it. So just download

80

00:09:35,300  -->  00:09:39,050
that and install it. So once you've
install it you'll you'll get a screen

81

00:09:39,050  -->  00:09:42,740
like this. So all you need to do is to
just click on servers in this little

82

00:09:42,740  -->  00:09:46,940
slide will come out and just add the
server information. So I'm just going to

83

00:09:46,940  -->  00:09:53,270
give it a name ec2 now the address will
be the end point which you see them now

84

00:09:53,270  -->  00:09:59,470
public dns endpoint so just copy that
and bring that over

85

00:10:01,070  -->  00:10:04,690
and our username and password

86

00:10:20,550  -->  00:10:24,879
okay I mean just say that task squared
there so we need to do now just close

87

00:10:24,879  -->  00:10:28,420
out of that form and that should be all
ready to go so we just double click on

88

00:10:28,420  -->  00:10:33,100
this instance that we've quite all this
server that we've just created that will

89

00:10:33,100  -->  00:10:39,430
connect us straight in and there we go
so it's connected and it will start to

90

00:10:39,430  -->  00:10:47,490
do its business and we should get a user
interface for our Microsoft server

91

00:10:59,830  -->  00:11:04,180
okay so that you can see so we've
connected in with we've got our user

92

00:11:04,180  -->  00:11:07,690
interface for our server and
everything's fine so that brings us to

93

00:11:07,690  -->  00:11:13,000
the end of this lecture and I'll look
forward to seeing you in the next ones
