SSH & RDP practice

  1. Provisioned two EC2 instances – Amazon Linux AMI and Windows Server 2019 AMI
  2. Created new key pair for both instances named. Lab Server.pem
  3. Connected to the Linux instance via EC2 Instance Connect in the Management Console
  4. Attempted to connect through SSH via my desktop terminal.  Kept running into this error:
  1. Connected to the Windows Server instance via Microsoft RDP client that I installed on my desktop
  2. Was able to locate and actually use the Lab Server.pem file and decrypt the password
  3. Successfully RDPed into the EC2 Windows Server instance from the RDP client on my desktop
