Web Hosting: Hosting your website or web applications with customizable resources.

Development & Testing: Creating isolated environments for testing applications, deploying new software, and setting up development environments.

Data Processing: Running big data or machine learning applications that require scalable compute power.

Disaster Recovery: Creating backups and failover servers to ensure business continuity.

Application Deployment: Running and managing production or staging environments for your software.

Define Resources: Determine the CPU, memory, and storage capacity required for the instance.

Match Workload: Choose an instance type that aligns with the workload's performance and resource requirements.

Scale as Needed: Select instance types that can be scaled up or down based on changing demands.

Optimize Costs: Choose an instance type that fits within budget constraints while meeting performance needs.

Ensure Compatibility: Ensure the selected type is compatible with the chosen AMI and intended applications.

Secure Access: Key pairs are essential for securely accessing the instance, ensuring that only authorized users can connect.

Authentication: Provides a secure method of authentication without using passwords.

Prevent Unauthorized Access: Protects the instance from unauthorized access by requiring the key pair for SSH connections.

Manage Security: Regularly update and manage key pairs to maintain security and compliance.

Facilitate Administration: Enables remote administration of the instance while ensuring security.

Network Integration: Ensure the instance is properly integrated into the selected VPC and subnet for optimal network functionality.

Access Control: Define and manage access controls through security groups, allowing or restricting traffic to the instance as needed.

Connectivity: Enable or restrict internet access by configuring public IP settings, ensuring that the instance can communicate as intended.

Network Segmentation: Use subnets to segment the network, enhancing organization and security within the VPC.

Allocate Disk Space: Define storage needs for applications and data.

Optimize Performance: Ensure adequate storage to avoid performance issues. Amazon EBS provides high-performance block storage, while Amazon EFS offers scalable, shared storage.

Adjust Based on Use: Scale storage capacity as required. Amazon EBS allows volume size adjustments, and Amazon EFS scales automatically.

Manage Costs: Choose storage options based on cost. Amazon EBS charges by volume size, while Amazon EFS charges by used storage.

Enable Data Handling: Provide appropriate storage to handle data efficiently. Amazon EFS supports shared access, while Amazon EBS is ideal for dedicated storage.
