Amazon EC2 examples using Amazon CLI with Bash script

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the Amazon Command Line Interface with Bash script with Amazon EC2.

Basics are code examples that show you how to perform the essential operations within a service.

Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

Basics

The following code example shows how to:

Create a key pair and security group.
Select an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) and compatible instance type, then create an instance.
Stop and restart the instance.
Associate an Elastic IP address with your instance.
Connect to your instance with SSH, then clean up resources.
