In this blog we will cover

📌 Create a key pair
📌 Create a security group
📌 Launch an instance using the above created key pair and security group.
📌 Create an EBS volume of 1 GB.
📌 The final step is to attach the above created EBS volume to the
instance you created in the previous steps.

aws configure 

aws configure

Here we get Access Key Id and Secret key Id by configuring IAM(Identity Access Management) AWS
