My immediate goal is to get a brand-new VPS up and running on Amazon EC2. The primary task is server setup and configuration; I’m not focusing on security hardening or ongoing maintenance right now—just a clean, reliable build that I can start using straight away. I’ve marked “AWS” as my operating-system preference and will be spinning this on EC2, so every step should align with AWS best practices—from choosing the right AMI to configuring networking, storage, and user access. If you have a preferred AWS-flavoured Linux distribution that streamlines future updates, feel free to recommend it as part of the setup. Deliverables • Launch and configure the EC2 instance in my AWS account • Apply initial OS settings (hostname, users, SSH, time zone, locales) • Configure security groups, key pairs, and basic firewall rules so I can connect safely • Install and verify core software packages I specify (e.g., web server or database, if needed) • Provide a concise hand-over document (commands run, configuration paths, and how to log in) Once everything is live and I can log in without issues, the job is complete.

Hi, I can help you get your EC2 environment deployed cleanly and ready to use following AWS best practices, keeping the scope focused on a reliable initial build without unnecessary complexity. For this type of setup, I usually recommend Debian 12 or Ubuntu LTS rather than Amazon Linux, mainly for their stability, long-term support, predictable package management, and easier future maintenance. I can handle: • EC2 instance deployment in your AWS account • AMI selection and sizing recommendations • Initial OS configuration (hostname, users, SSH, timezone, locales) • Security Groups, key pairs and firewall setup for secure access • Installation and validation of required packages/services (web server, DB, Docker, etc.) • Basic networking/storage configuration aligned with AWS practices • Clear handover document with commands, configs, paths and login procedure Before starting, I would just like to confirm a few details: Preferred distro: Debian 12 or Ubuntu 24.04 LTS? Which software stack should be installed? Do you need only EC2 setup, or also Elastic IP / Route53 / DNS assistance? SSH key-only access, or do you require password authentication? I’ve worked extensively with AWS, Linux servers, networking and production deployments, so the delivery will be clean, documented and easy for you to manage afterward. Happy to discuss your exact requirements.

Hey, What software do you need installed on the instance? That will help me pick the right AMI and instance type before I start. I will launch the EC2 instance in your AWS account, configure OS settings, security groups, key pairs, and SSH access, install the packages you specify, and hand over a clear document covering everything I ran and how to log in, all within the same day. I can start today. Share your AWS region preference and software requirements and I will have it ready within a few hours. Best, Ahmad
