Recently I started to use Azure.
In Azure, I created Resources Group, Virtual Network, Availability Set and Virtual Machine.
Then I connected VM using RDP
Same way, I want to create and connect VM in AWS.
Please let me know, what steps I need to follow.
Virtual Machines on AWS are provided by the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud service, more commonly known as Amazon EC2. Individual VMs are referred to as instances. Thus, the terminology to seek is "Amazon EC2 instance".
There are many ways to launch an Amazon EC2 instance, such as using a web interface, making an API call or using the AWS Command-Line Interface (CLI).
See: Launch Your Instance - Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud
To launch an instance from the EC2 management console, click Launch instance and provide the desired configuration.

I am planning to create virtual server(Microsoft SQL Server 2019 Web on Windows Server 2019) in AWS but the costing is too high for me, to reduce the price I wanted to stop my virtual server automatically for some hours by using other AWS service.
How can I shutdown the virtual server?
Will I be able to shutdown it?
How AMI and EC2 are different in nature ?
After searching by hours I found that EC2 and RDS can be shutdown automatically but didn't find any article related to that.
Link for Virtual Server I want to created :

Link for help:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/WindowsGuide/terminating-instances.html
To terminate an instance using the console
Before you terminate an instance, verify that you won't lose any data by checking that your Amazon EBS volumes won't be deleted on termination and that you've copied any data that you need from your instance store volumes to persistent storage, such as Amazon EBS or Amazon S3.
Open the Amazon EC2 console at https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/.
In the navigation pane, choose Instances.
Select the instance, and choose Instance state, Terminate instance.
Choose Terminate when prompted for confirmation.
Yes
The EC2 is used for creating the virtual server instance. The AMI is the EC2 virtual machines image. ECS provides container services such as docker and the AWS lambda is used to run the code without a server.

I have a SQL Server database running on Windows Server EC2 instance. I also have Web API (ASP.NET Core WebAPI) deployed as a Service in ECS cluster (Fargate launch type).
What connection string should I use to access this database from my web API?
Right now I'm trying:
data source=NAME_OF_THE_EC2_INSTANCE;initial
catalog=DATABASE_NAME;User
Id=USER_NAME;Password=PASSWORD;MultipleActiveResultSets=True;App=EntityFramework;Connection Timeout=10;
But it doesn't work. The error returned suggests that the app doesn't even see the database at all.
It seems you'll need to use a NAT instance/Gateway
This will enable connectivity between your Fargate instance and EC2 instance where DB is installed.
Another source and also the official documentation
"...Container instances need external network access to communicate with the Amazon ECS service endpoint, so if your container instances are running in a private VPC, they need a network address translation (NAT) instance to provide this access. For more information, see NAT Instances in the Amazon VPC User Guide."
AWS offers the option to run VMs on hardware hosts that are dedicated to a single customer (for compliance purposes, added security, etc).
This is available when using their Amazon EC2 Dedicated Instances
My question is: Do they offer similar hardware-level single-tenancy in their managed DB services ? (AWS RDS. For example using Oracle, or MySQL)
I looked for that option but cannot find it anywhere.
To run RDS on dedicated hardware, you need to create a dedicated VPC and then launch the RDS instance into that VPC. You also need to choose a DB instance class that is an approved EC2 dedicated instance type e.g. db.m3.medium.
For more, see Working with a DB Instance in a VPC.
I am trying to develop a Spring Cloud microservice and need to deploy in AWS cloud. I am new to Spring Cloud and AWS. I would like to open a EC2 instance and like to deploy using Elastic Beanstalk environment wizard.
When I am exploring how to create EC instance and configuration, I found that the documentation explaining EC2 and EC2 container service. Here I need to deploy my service in Java environment and Tomcat as service structure. So I am confused about EC2 and EC2 container service. Which one is suitable for my criteria and requirement? EC2 or Ec2 container service for deploying my service?
EC2 container service is to be used if you want to run container systems like Docker. Are you comfortable using Docker containers?
If you want to use standard virtual machine; use EC2 instance. Your requirement of deploying microservice can be achieved using any of EC2 instance or EC2 container service. What is important is your comfort level.
I want to remove VPS Instance in AWS and it's RDS.How to remove the both services in my account.
Your question is confusing because the title mentions VPS, while your question mentions VPC and RDS. So, here's some definitions:
An Amazon EC2 instance is a virtual machine that runs in the AWS cloud. Some people might refer to a virtual machine as a Virtual Private Server (VPS), but within AWS the term VPS is only really used with a virtual machine provisioned via Amazon Lightsail.
An Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) is a virtual network in which resources (eg Amazon EC2 instances can be created). There is a Default VPC provided in an AWS account that should not (in general) be deleted.
Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) provides fully-managed database instances for SQL databases such as SQL Server, My SQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL.
If you wish to remove an Amazon RDS instance, go to the RDS management console, select the instance, then in the Instance Actions menu select Delete.
See: Deleting a DB Instance
If you wish to remove an Amazon EC2 instance, go to the EC2 management console, select the instance, then go to the Actions menu and select Instance State -> Terminate.
See: Terminate Your Instance
I do not recommend that you delete your VPC unless you created it yourself.
