|
|
+ Using Amazon EC2 instances running Windows is similar to using instances
|
|
|
+ running Linux and UNIX. The following are the major differences between
|
|
|
+ instances that use Linux/UNIX and Windows:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <itemizedlist>
|
|
|
+ <listitem>
|
|
|
+ Remote Desktop—To access Windows instances, you use Remote
|
|
|
+ Desktop instead of SSH.
|
|
|
+ </listitem>
|
|
|
+ <listitem>
|
|
|
+ Administrative Password—To access Windows instances the first time,
|
|
|
+ you must obtain the administrative password using the ec2-get-password
|
|
|
+ command.
|
|
|
+ </listitem>
|
|
|
+ <listitem>
|
|
|
+ Simplified Bundling—To bundle a Windows instance, you use a single command
|
|
|
+ that shuts down the instance, saves it as an AMI, and restarts it.
|
|
|

|
|
|
+ As part of this service, Amazon EC2 instances can now run Microsoft Windows Server
|
|
|
+ 2003. Our base Windows image provides you with most of the common functionality associated
|
|
|
+ with Windows. However, if you require more than two concurrent Windows users or need to
|
|
|
+ leverage applications that require LDAP, Kerberos, RADIUS, or other credential services,
|
|
|
+ you must use Windows with Authentication Services. For example, Microsoft Exchange Server
|
|
|
+ and Microsoft SharePoint Server require Windows with Authentication Services.
|
|
|
+ </para>
|
|
|
+ <note>
|
|
|
+ To get started using Windows instances, we recommend using the AWS Management Console.
|
|
|
+ There are differences in pricing between Windows and Windows with Authentication Services
|
|
|
+ instances. For information on pricing, go to the Amazon EC2 Product Page.

|
|
|
+ The Windows public AMIs that Amazon provides are unmodified
|
|
|
+ versions of Windows with the following two exceptions: we added
|
|
|
+ drivers to improve the networking and disk I/O performance and
|
|
|
+ we created the Amazon EC2 configuration service. The Amazon EC2
|
|
|
+ configuration service performs the following functions:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+ <itemizedlist>
|
|
|
+ <listitem>
|
|
|
+ Randomly sets the Administrator password on initial launch,
|
|
|
+ encrypts the password with the user’s SSH key, and reports
|
|
|
+ it to the console. This operation happens upon initial AMI
|
|
|
+ launch. If you change the password, AMIs that are created
|
|
|
+ from this instance use the new password.
|
|
|
+ </listitem>
|
|
|
+ <listitem>
|
|
|
+ Configures the computer name to the internal DNS name. To
|
|
|
+ determine the internal DNS name, see Using Instance Addressing.
|
|
|
+ </listitem>
|
|
|
+ <listitem>
|
|
|
+ Sends the last three system and application errors from the
|
|
|
+ event log to the console. This helps developers to identify
|
|
|
+ problems that caused an instance to crash or network connectivity
|
|
|
+ to be lost.
