post date: 2019-3-20

start a free AWC:

1. Register an acount with free tier on aws.amazon.com
2. EC2 -> launch instance -> AMI -> AWS Marketplace -> CentOS 7 (x86_64) - with Updates HVM
3. Others -> use default setting
4. launch -> with key pair

connect AWC:

1. ssh using key pair
2. username: centos
3. start to use
