# Day 38 Getting Started with AWS Basics☁

## AWS:

Amazon Web Services is one of the most popular Cloud Providers that has a free tier for students and Cloud enthusiasts for their Hands-on while learning (Create your free account today to explore more on it).

## IAM:

AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a web service that helps you securely control access to AWS resources. With IAM, you can centrally manage permissions that control which AWS resources users can access. You use IAM to control who is authenticated (signed in) and authorized (has permissions) to use resources.

### Task1:

Create an IAM user with the username of your own wish and grant EC2 Access. Launch your Linux instance through the IAM user that you created now and install Jenkins and Docker on your machine via a single Shell Script.

**To create an IAM user with EC2 access, follow these steps:**

Log in to the AWS Management Console.

Go to the IAM service and click on "Users" in the left menu

Click "Next" until you reach the end, and then click "Create user".

Take note of the username and password, as you will need these to authenticate your IAM user when launching instances.
