Windows EC2 Launch & Configuration
Budget: $250 – $750 AUD
I need a fresh Amazon EC2 instance spun up with a Windows Server AMI, fully patched, secured, and ready for RDP access. Once the instance is online I will let you know which applications need to go on it, but please be prepared to handle common Windows installs such as IIS, MSSQL or Visual Studio should I confirm those.
Key tasks
• Select an appropriate Windows AMI, size it, and place it in the correct VPC and subnet.
• Configure security groups, key pairs, and any IAM roles so that only the intended ports are open.
• Enable and test Remote Desktop access.
• Apply Windows updates and hardening best practices.
• Install the software I specify after the server is running, verifying each service starts automatically and survives reboots.
• Deliver a brief hand-off document detailing instance ID, region, credentials path, open ports, and steps you followed (PowerShell commands, AWS Console screens, etc.).
The job is complete when I can log in, see the requested software functioning, and have your concise documentation in hand.
