Question

How can I automate server provisioning with AWS EC2 and Python?

Answer 1

You can use the Boto3 Python library to interact with AWS services. Below is an example code snippet to create an EC2 instance:

import boto3

ec2 = boto3.resource('ec2')

instance = ec2.create_instances(
    ImageId='ami-12345678',  # replace with your AMI ID
    MinCount=1,
    MaxCount=1,
    InstanceType='t2.micro'
)

print(instance[0].id)
