This recipe creates a simple EC2 instance, but, by default, it does not configure an SSH key, or a security group that would allow you to log in remotely. We will cover these options in a later chapter, but if you are curious, go ahead and investigate the AWS::EC2::SecurityGroup resource type, and the KeyName property of the AWS::EC2::Instance resource. Another option for securely logging in to your EC2 instance is AWS Systems Manager Session Manager, a relatively new service that directly gives you a shell login to Linux instances via the AWS console.
