Your First Instance
By the end you can say in one plain sentence what an EC2 instance is, make a key pair in your own Ubuntu and send AWS only its public half, fill a launch sheet before the console opens and launch one micro inside the sandbox rules with two tags on everything, come in by SSH and say why the machine does not know its own public address, serve your SCS2.3 site with nginx and find a stranger's request in the access log, answer "are only 22, 80 and 443 open?" with evidence from the console and from outside, find a fault a partner made from evidence, rebuild the machine from your log alone, and close the day with it stopped, not terminated.
