snap-20cd6642.

(optional) On the Tag Instance tab, give the instance a Name value so you can more

easily find the instance in the Amazon Management Console.

On the Configure Security Group tab, use a security group to define firewall rules

for your instance. These rules specify which incoming network traffic is delivered to

your instance. All other traffic is ignored.

• In the Type list, select SSH.

• In the Source list, select My IP.

On the Review Instance Launch tab, check the details of your instance, and make

any necessary changes by clicking the appropriate Edit link. When all settings are

correct, click Launch.

In the Select an existing key pair or create a new key pair dialog box, make your

preference. For example, select Choose an existing key pair, then in the

Select the key pair list, choose a key pair that you have access to. This is the

key pair you will use later to connect to the instance for mounting the volume and

transferring data.

After you launch the instance, wait for the instance state to become Running. You

can view this information in the EC2 Dashboard by navigating to Instances >

Instances

The Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) volume and the instance must be located in the

same Availability Zone.

In the left-side navigation pane of the EC2 Dashboard, select Elastic Block Store >

Snapshots.

Select your snapshot.
