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.

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 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 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'm studying RDS, and I have a question.
I'm reading in some places that rds relies on the ec2 infrastructure. But I don't understand why, what is the relation with rds and ec2?
I know that after we create an rds instance we can connect to rds instance from a ec2 instance, but what is the other relation?
For example, when we create a RDS instance we need to choose a db intance class, for example "db.t1.micro", but when we create an rds instance we dont create an ec2 instance...
So what I'm thinking is that maybe rds relies on ec2 infrastructure, because when we create an rds instance we are using the same ec2 infrastructure to create an instance but in this case for RDS? Is that it?
Yes you are correct, I think what they are really saying is that RDS instances run on the same infrastructure as the EC2 instances you spinup and use yourself.
When you start an RDS instance, it runs on an EC2 instance, but you have no access to that underlying instance it is controlled and managed by the RDS group/system.
