Part 1

Deployed a Amazon Linux EC2 Instance using the AWS Dashboard, making sure that is is associated to the privious key pair created. Connected using the AWS CLI Created a AWS Billing preference to inform me when my free tier usage is depleted

Proceeded to create a new user called Diego sudo adduser Diego

Loaded up the saved private key on PuTTYgen so I could check the public key Changed to my newly created user sudo su - Diego

Added Diego to sudo priviledges sudo usermod -aG wheel Diego

Created a new folder in the home directory mkdir .ssh

ls -a to verify folder creation chmod 700 .ssh touch .ssh/authorized_keys chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys vim .ssh/authorized_keys i esc :wq

cat authorized_key To check that the key was inserted correctly

Now I can ssh from PuTTy directly into my created Diego User
