how to run python script in ec2 instance

Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) provides scalable compute capacity in the cloud. Running Python scripts on EC2 instances is a common use case for various applications such as web hosting, data processing, and machine learning. In this tutorial, we'll guide you through the process of setting up an EC2 instance and running a simple Python script on it.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) Account:
AWS Command Line Interface (CLI):
Open the AWS Management Console.
Navigate to the EC2 Dashboard.
Click on "Launch Instance" to create a new EC2 instance.
Choose an Amazon Machine Image (AMI), select an instance type, and configure the instance details.
Configure the security group to allow inbound traffic on the desired port (e.g., 22 for SSH and 80 for HTTP).
Review and launch the instance. You will be prompted to create or use an existing key pair for SSH access.
Download the private key (.pem) and keep it secure. You will use it to connect to the instance.
Open a terminal on your local machine.
Use the following command to connect to the EC2 instance:
Use scp to copy your Python script to the EC2 instance. Run this command on your local machine:
Reconnect to your EC2 instance using SSH.
Navigate to the directory where you transferred the Python script:
Run your Python script:
Congratulations! You have successfully launched an EC2 instance, connected to it, transferred a Python script, and executed it. This basic setup can be extended for more complex applications and tasks, making AWS EC2 a powerful environment for Python development and deployment.
