Hey man. Thanks for the video! You explained everything in the simplest terms and I was able to get my script up and running.

Thanks for the tutorial! One question:
This method leaves the instance alive forever therefore will cause more costs, If i want to run a script daily, what's the best practice for scheduling the EC2 instance to wake up, install dependencies and run a specific script?
