CMIT 495 Current Trends and Projects in Computer Networks and Security Week 2 – Cloud Computing 1 Log in to your newly created AWS account and take a screenshot of the AWS Management Console (Dashboard) and paste it below question 1. The screenshot should include the username you created during the setup phase. Figure 1: AWS management console dashboard. 2 Launch a Windows Virtual Machine (VM). Provide a detailed overview of the steps required to install the Microsoft Windows operating system (OS) on the VM. The steps may be listed in the form of bullet points or a summary with complete sentences. Use as much space as required. Finally, take a screenshot of the desktop and paste it with your response below this question. Figure 2: EC2 dashboard. Figure 3: Instance name. Figure 4: Selecting Microsoft AMI Figure 5: Instance properties. Figure 6: creating key pairs. Figure 7: Allowing RDP. Figure 8: Instance storage size. Figure 9: Successful instance launch. Figure 10: Connecting instance. Figure 11: Rap to Windows instance. 3 Using what you learned from Project 1, provision and launch a new AWS EC2 Ubuntu Linux Server and connect to it via the SSH protocol. Note any challenges or opportunities associated with this provisioning. Figure 12: Naming instance. Figure 13: Selecting Ubuntu AMI Figure 14: Creating key pairs. 4 Using AWS, create a network file system with Amazon Elastic File Systems (EFS) and attach it to the running Ubuntu Server instance. You may use the AWS web page for step-by-step instructions and understand how the EFS works. Take a screenshot of the result and embed it below. Specifically, take a screenshot to verify that your file system has been successfully mounted, along with the results from creating a test file in your new file system. This will be done by running a simple dd command to generate a 1GiB file in your new directory. Finally, describe the value of a network file system. left987557 Figure 15: Mounted EFS left623760 Figure 16: Generated a 1GiB file Central management - data stored in a single location can be accessed by multiple instances. Remote access - users can log in from different locations and still be able to access their files. Scalability - It's easy to scale by decreasing, or increasing the resources without significant impact on the current storage. Data sharing - It enables easy data sharing between multiple instances within the same network. Data security - data can't be modified from multiple instances 5 Using the AWS platform, create an S3 bucket and upload any file to the S3 bucket. Take a screenshot showing the file was uploaded to the S3 bucket and paste it below. If necessary, use the AWS webpage above ...
