I am studying for my AWS certificate. I SSH into an Amazon Linux EC2.
When I type man aws or man ec2 I don't get any results.
I have seen the AWS CLI website but I wonder why there aren't man pages for AWS.
You invoke it through CLI. For example:
$ aws ec2 help
for help on AWS CLI ec2 commands.
Output:
NAME
ec2 -
DESCRIPTION
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) provides resizable computing
capacity in the Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud. Using Amazon EC2 elim-
inates your need to invest in hardware up front, so you can develop and
deploy applications faster.
AVAILABLE COMMANDS
o accept-reserved-instances-exchange-quote
o accept-vpc-peering-connection
o allocate-address
If you want help on subcommands:
$ aws ec2 create-image help
NAME
create-image -
DESCRIPTION
Creates an Amazon EBS-backed AMI from an Amazon EBS-backed instance
that is either running or stopped.
If you customized your instance with instance store volumes or EBS vol-
umes in addition to the root device volume, the new AMI contains block
device mapping information for those volumes. When you launch an
instance from this new AMI, the instance automatically launches with
those additional volumes.

I am using a manually created Kubernetes Cluster (using kubeadm) deployed on AWS ec2 instances (manually created ec2 instances). I want to use AWS EBS volumes for Kubernetes persistent volume. How can I use AWS EBS volumes within Kubernetes cluster for persistent volumes?
Cluster details:
kubectl veresion: 1.19
kubeadm veresion: 1.19
Posted community wiki for better visibility with general solution as there are no further details / logs provided. Feel free to expand it.
The official supported way to mount Amazon Elastic Block Store as Kubernetes volume on the self-managed Kubernetes cluster running on AWS is to use awsElasticBlockStorevolume type.
To manage the lifecycle of Amazon EBS volumes on the self-managed Kubernetes cluster running on AWS please install Amazon Elastic Block Store Container Storage Interface Driver.
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.

One of my AWS EC2 instances would be a better fit for Lightsail (and more cost-effective). Is there a way to create a Lightsail instance based from an EBS snapshot?
It seems that there is the ability to Export Amazon Lightsail snapshots to Amazon EC2, but I couldn't see any capability to go from EC2 to Lightsail.
Looks like you'll need to reload/reconfigure a Lightsail instance from scratch.
I created a free account in amazon aws and created an EC2 instance using "Amazon Linux AMI". I could ssh to the instance and I installed NodeJS in it. I also purchased a domain name and configured it with an elastic IP to that instance.
Now when i login to the EC2 management console I couldn't see the instance. What might be reason for this?
In which region did you create the instance?
Check the region at the top menu, to the right.
I wanted to migrate my EC2 instance which is in a VPC to a classic EC2 instance.
Is this possible?
What are the steps I need to follow?
Per the Amazon Documentation
If your account supports EC2 Classic you can make an AMI of the existing instance, and launch that AMI into EC2 Classic.
To find out whether your account supports EC2 Classic look under AWS Management Console -> EC2 Service, under Supported Platforms.
