*Deploy Secure EC2 Instances with Terraform and AWS SSM (No SSH or RDP)*

This video demonstrates how to securely access private Windows and Linux EC2 instances in AWS using *AWS Systems Manager (SSM)* . Unlike traditional bastion hosts or public IP access, SSM provides a *secure, agent-based, browser-accessible method* to manage EC2 instances without exposing them to the internet.

*What This Project Covers*

- Creates a custom *VPC* with private subnets
- Deploys a private *Windows Server EC2 instance*
- Deploys a private *Ubuntu Server EC2 instance*
- Configures *IAM roles and instance profiles* for SSM access
- Applies a *Security Group* for accessing the EC2 instance from SSM
- Enables *SSM Session Manager* for remote browser-based access
- Uses two custom *SSM Documents* to install Apache (Ubuntu) and IIS (Windows)

*Technologies Used*

- AWS EC2
- AWS Systems Manager (SSM)
- IAM Roles and Policies
- Terraform
- Secure instance access via AWS Console and CLI
