What is Amazon AWS Management Console?

The AWS Management Console is, in short, a web application that allows you to access all AWS resources. Through the AWS Management Console, you can view all resources and workloads. You can access different services, manage your billing, manage security credentials, and more.

After signing up for an AWS (Amazon Web Services) account, you can go to the AWS Management Console and start with AWS services.

How to Access the AWS Management Console

You can access the Management Console through any browser by using the console.aws.amazon.com link. AWS users also enjoy the flexibility of using the AWS console on their mobile devices, tablets, and desktop clients.

You can also configure the interface to suit your individual or business needs. You can access recent services pin frequently used services, and from the top left menu, users can access AWS regions.

How to Configure the AWS Management Console

If you want to use free-tier eligible services, configure an eligible region by choosing from the top-left dropdown. The dropdown arrow below the username allows users to configure account details, billing details, and security credentials.

Note that AWS costs vary with region. Some free-tier discounts are only available in the US East, Northern Virginia, and US Central regions.

What AWS Resources Can You Access Through the Console?

The list of resources on your console will vary with the subscription plan. Some resources are only available for enterprise clients. However, AWS has a wide range of solutions, including blockchain, computing, networking, storage, robotics, DevOps, analytics, and much more.

Launch a Virtual Machine on EC2

You can access Reserved Instances via the AWS Management Console. Virtual Machines will help you run workloads on both Windows and Linux servers. The Management Console will take you through the whole process of launching an EC2, from choosing the instance type to configuring policies and adding tags

Build a Web App with Elastic Beanstalk

Java developers can deploy web applications for free using Elastic Beanstalk, a service on the AWS Management Console. This service also supports familiar programming languages, including Python, PHP, .NET, etc. Users can also deploy Nginx and Apache servers on the Management Console. The console also deploys an easy-to-use IDE linked to a Git repository where you can get live feedback on your work. AWS can auto-scale resources based on your demands.

Use AWS Lightsail

AWS Lightsail is a minimalistic version of deploying EC2, commonly used for launching low-traffic websites. While deploying an EC2, users choose custom features like RAM, processor, disk, and data transfer capabilities. Lightsail, on the other hand, includes custom-defined packages for running websites.

Use AWS Route 53

AWS Routing services give your apps and resources access to the worldwide web. Instead of using an IP address, this routing service can link your resources to a Domain Name System DNS. AWS Route 53 translates IP addresses into a friendly TLD. Don’t confuse the TLD with a CDN, making content delivery faster by deploying them to the nearest server.

Amazon SES

Email is one of the most used cloud services. AWS runs eMail services through Amazon Simple emailing Service SES. You can get good deliverability with SES on your tech stack since AWS servers blocks malicious IP by default. You can also use SES to send bulk e-newsletters to many subscribers.
