I have tested RDP through Mac machine (through Microsoft remote desktop available in appstore) For windows, you can make use of MSTSC (from start/search section) for RDP. This video demonstrates how to create a free tier Windows EC2 instance on AWS and connect to it using RDP. Here's a summary: Instance Creation (0:30-1:49): They choose a free tier eligible machine type (t2.micro). They create a new key pair for secure access (Mighty3.pem). They open the security group to allow inbound and outbound traffic (for simplicity, though this is generally not recommended). Instance Launch and Password Generation (1:54-3:54): They launch the instance. Once the instance is running, they generate an RDP password using the downloaded private key file (Mighty3.pem). RDP Connection (3:56-5:21): They use the Microsoft Remote Desktop client (mstsc on Windows, or a similar app on other operating systems). They add the EC2 instance with its public IP address and generated password. They connect to the instance using the administrator username and generated password. Instance Removal (5:44-6:04): They terminate the EC2 instance to avoid ongoing costs. Important Note: The video uses a simplified security setup for demonstration purposes. In a production environment, it's crucial to follow best practices for security group configuration and key management.
