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 would like to SSH into my Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud9 Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2) environment, but there is no key pair assigned to the Cloud9 EC2 environment. How can I assign a key pair to that environment, so that I can SSH into it?
I created the AWS Cloud9 EC2 environment through the Cloud9 interface, rather than creating the EC2 environment and then accessing it through Cloud9. When I create EC2 environments normally, I am given the opportunity to assign an existing key pair, or create a new key pair. This option was not presented to me when I created the environment through Cloud9.
You can SSH into a Cloud9 environment created through Cloud9. The steps are similar to sharing a running app over the internet in the docs, but instead of sharing the app, you share the SSH server.
In AWS Console, find the corresponding EC2 instance.
In the bottom panel, under the Description tab, in Security groups row, click on the link to go to associated security group.
You should now be in Security Groups section. In the bottom panel, under the Inbound tab, click Edit and add:
Type: SSH
Source: Anywhere
and click Save.
In Cloud9 terminal, add your public key to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys. Don’t replace the existing keys or elsewise Cloud9 IDE wouldn’t be able to connect to the instance.
You can now SSH into the Cloud9-managed instance using ssh ec2-user#<ip>, or ssh ubuntu#<ip> if using Ubuntu AMI, for other AMIs see default user name for the AMI
Cloud9 is managing the underlying EC2 for you so you won't get any extra charges.
A terminal is already provided by AWS but you could follow this procedure if you still want to get SSH access to a Cloud9 environment.
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 created a WordPress app using Lightsail. It says it was created in Frankfurt Zone. However, I cannot see this instance in EC2 console. I want to create a Load Balancer for that app and add certificates, but I can't cause I don't see this instance on the list. Any ideas where can I find this Lightsail instance in EC2 console?
AWS Lightsail not shown in EC2 console, it's the main difference between the Lightsail and EC2, If you want to have more control on your EC2, so you should run EC2 instance instead of cheaper version Lightsail.
For more info about the Lighsail read the FAQ on the AWS website:
https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/faq/
Also, you can use Lightsail load balancer instead of standard ELB on AWS, for more info read the following doc:
https://aws.amazon.com/lightsail/features/load-balancing/
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.
