🌐Install NginX in EC2 Instance

Introduction

What is NginX

NGINX is open-source web server software that functions as a reverse proxy, HTTP load balancer, and email proxy for IMAP, POP3, and SMTP. NginX is also one of the most popular and reliable web servers. This is an excellent choice if we want to host a website on AWS EC2. AWS EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) is a cloud computing service that allows us to rent virtual servers and manage them in the AWS cloud.
