1.An
AMI (Amazon Machine Image) is required when launching an
EC2 instance because it provides the
software blueprint for the instance's root disk.
2.If the security group does not allow RDP traffic, you generally cannot connect to the Windows EC2 instance using RDP from outside the allowed network.
3.For a Windows EC2 instance, the key pair is important because AWS uses it to securely retrieve the initial Windows Administrator password.
4.The instance type determines the computational resources available to your EC2 instance.
The AMI tells EC2 what image to use when creating the instance.
5. You should terminate an EC2 instance after completing a lab mainly to avoid unnecessary AWS charges and clean up resources.
