I can set up a ipython/jupyter notebook server on aws ec2 by following this tutorial, it starts the remote server by entering $jupyter notebook in the local terminal.
However I also saw a pre-configured community AMI graphlab-create, which will run the remote server without the need of a Linux/Unix ssh client at all.
I'm wondering how that could be realized, since some students may not have an access to a linux/unix system. Any hint is appreciated.
Using windows is not an issue. I hooked up to my notebook in AWS from my home computer. I have Windows 10.
You can link up to AWS using putty.
I am using a Ubuntu AMI.
Once you have a terminal open you simply follow the instruction you gave in your link
It worked like a charm for me.

I would like to run a proxmox server on a Ubuntu EC2 Instance.
I know this may sound crazy but I do not have any spare hardware to run a promox server on. Would it be possible to run this on a Ubuntu EC2 Instance?
If i was to download proxmox on a flash drive, can i insert it into my computer and install it (overiding) the ubuntu instance and just using the hardware? Is this possible AWS?
It is possible to run Proxmox on EC2, but if you want to host VM guests you need to run on an instance type that supports nested virtualisation, which is only the "metal" instances. These start at about $4/hour.
Running containers works fine on any standard x64 instance type, though.
I posted a guide to installing Proxmox on EC2 here:
https://github.com/thenickdude/proxmox-on-ec2
The tricky parts that the guide fixes up automatically are harmonising the network configuration generated by Debian's cloud-init package with Proxmox's nonstandard ifupdown2 package.
For example, in Linux VM instances we can use gcloud beta ssh command to run commands remotely by downloading ssh keys using gcp credentials
Similarly, I am looking for running scripts on Windows VM instance remotely without doing RDP to an instance.
Can someone point to a solution for this problem?
If you have a Windows workstation with PowerShell, you can connect to your Windows Server instances through a remote PowerShell session. This process is similar to connecting to a Linux instance using SSH. Please review "Connecting to Windows instances using the PowerShell terminal"

I'm asking this here because google couldn't point me out in the proper direction. Are there any available tools for manipulating an EC2 instance via SSH using a GUI. I'm not very familiar with Ubuntu CLI commands (I actually crashed an instance by doing something over putty) so a GUI is my only option. What I actually want to do is to install a Glassfish web server on the instance. All necessary ports are forwarded (4848,8080,80).
I am new to the amazon world.
I have got an amazon ec2 machine with it's public dns and a .pem file . i have connected to the machine using putty by generating a ppk file . now i am able to login to the remote machine using root user. Can someone help me how to create a remote desktop machine or as a cloud machine like the way windows has a rdp feature so that i can install the software. Do i need to install vncserver on it ?. if yes, is there any handy video or documentation which can provide me steps to connect . i have to install appache 2 and mysql on it.
Appreciate your help.
P.S. I can't see any instance on the amzon ec2 which can be created with the machine dns i have got.
Thanks.
1) To see you instance in AWS Console, you need to choose region, where that ec2 server is deployed.
Click on right top menu, there is list of regions there.
2) As we understood, you need to install LAMP Server on that instance.
There are lots of examples how to do it (without GUI, using command line interface).
Find them easily typing how to setup lamp server on ubuntu/centos, depending on your OS.
I have EC2 instance running in AWS. I can access it using SSH client and private key at work. Now, I want to connect to same instance from home using Ubuntu 18.04 OS. So I copied the private key and tried using SSH commands from ubuntu terminal. But I didn't work and AWS was saying that access is denied.
I am not good with networking and security stuff. Can anyone help me on how I can access my AWS EC2 instance from ubuntu at home?
I managed to get it working finally. I went to the directory location where the key file is stored on Ubuntu terminal and then typed chmod 400 <yourPrivateKey.pem> and hit enter. Nothing happened. Then type SSH command to connect to my AWS EC2 instance. That's it, I got connected. Now, I really don't know what has happened there and how secure it is to connect this way. Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
