2.Choose Amazon Linux as the Amazon Machine Image (AMI): Select the free tier-eligible Amazon Linux AMI.
3.Select Instance Type: Choose t2.micro for free tier eligibility.
4.Create or Choose a Key Pair: Create a new key pair or select an existing one. Download the private key file (.pem).
5.Launch the Instance: Review your configuration and launch the instance.
Step 3: Setting Up puTTY
Download puTTY: Download and install puTTY along with puTTYgen from putty.org.
Convert .pem to .ppk: Use puTTYgen to convert your .pem file to a .ppk file.
Step 5: Assigning an IAM Role to the Instance
1.Create an IAM Role:Navigate to the IAM service and create a role with Amazon S3 full access.
Attach the role to your EC2 instance.
2.Verify Role Assignment: Confirm that the instance has the appropriate permissions.
Step 6: Uploading a File to S3
