Click on below:
Sign in as IAM user with your given Accound ID, username and Password
Then the next view appears, check "regeon" as "Oregon" by default and "user@Accond ID" as you expeced.
If you have already accessed AWS console, these kinds of view can be seen. In the case select "EC2" to go to "EC2 Dashboard"(if not, skip it).
In this EC2 Dashboard, we can maintain the EC2 boxes from creation to deletion. In this section, how to create an EC2 instance from the AMI image which has already been registered is shown.
Select "Images>AMIs" in the right pane(Navigation pain) ;
Select an AMI name which name is "IDD Staging AMI" in the "Amazon Machine Images (AMIs)" by clicking the responding AMI checkbox on the left, then push the "Launch instance from AMI" button (colored in orange).
To create an EC2 instance, fill out the items as below (example):
Name and tags
input an appropriate name (e.g., "sample_box01")
Application and OS image
check whether "AMI from catalog" is _"IDD Staging AMI" (for example; select one as you want) ;
Instance type
as you selected by drop-down list(e.g., m5.xlarge)
Key pair(login ;
you can generate new key pair if you want to connect to the instance securely (by clicking "Create new key pair" on the right side), but usually select "ams__ks_ED25519__keypair" by drop-down list so that you can be helped when local client setup (recommended).
In case that you use your own key, you will be the only person to log in, of course. you should be careful of handling key management ;
