To complete the steps within this recipe, we need a custom VPC with the following configurations:
- Create a VPC by following the Creating a VPC in AWS recipe. Create the subnet by following the Creating subnets in a VPC recipe.
- Launch an instance into our public subnet with a security group configuration that allows our local machine IP to SSH into that machine. You can do this by referring to the Launching an EC2 instance into a VPC recipe in Chapter 6, Working with EC2 Instances.
