Step 1: Launch Instance

Once you have logged in to AWS console, Go to EC2 -> Instances, then launch instances and select Microsoft Windows Server 2012 Base and follow the steps.

Before Launching Instances, AWS console prompts you to create a key pair file (.pem file). Once you created the .pem file, download the file to your local machine as this file will be used to obtain passwords for Windows Machine.

Once the instance is in running state, click Connect (It takes around 5-10 min to retrieve the password). It prompts you to upload the .pem file that you have created above. Once you have uploaded the file it will decrypt the file and delivers you a random Password  which will be used to connect to Instances using RDP (Remote Desktop Client).

Note: Make sure to open Port 3389 for RDP connections in the security group.

Step 2: Connect to Instances using RDP

You can use Remmina RDP in Ubuntu to connect to Windows Instance with Username: Administrator and Password: (that console delivers after decryption process)

Step 3: Install Web Platform on Windows Server Instance

Web Platform Installer is a free tool used to automate the installation of the Microsoft Web Platform (e.g IIS/Visual Studio) and some third party softwares like WordPress/Drupal/Joomla

Once this is installed, Open Web Platform and search web deploy
