First you will need to register and sign up for the EC2 (Free for 1 yr)... It will ask for your credit card (but only changers $1 to check that is real) fees apply when you go outside the Free services offered... Please read all the terms... It will also call your phone to make sure its a valid number
https://portal.aws.amazon.com/gp/aws/developer/registration/index.htmlAfter registering
Log in to your Amazon web services account
http://aws.amazon.com/Then go to your management console
https://console.aws.amazon.com/console/homeUnder “Compute & Networking” choose EC2
https://console.aws.amazon.com/ec2/v2/homeClick Launch Instance
Choose OS: I use
“Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS (HVM) “ Choose an Instance Type: I use
“t2.micro”Then launch it.
There will be a pop-up about Key pairs... the YouTube below will go over what to do next...
The key pair and how to access your server, ( If your working in windows,best to use PUTTY )
here is a older YouTube but still the steps are the same.. Amazon dashboard looks a little different...
www.youtube.com/watch?v=5STROm2pk0c you will need
"PuTTYgen" and
”PuTTY ” http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html Then after you are in your server via Putty follow the steps Crypti Dev's gave us so far

Edit: second passphrase is a must if your thinking of Forgeing off a cloud server... If you ask me the second passphase is a must for every account anyway... but I'm just a little crazy.. I like keeping what I own...
