Seconded. But why need the complication of AWS/GCP/Azure when you can go with a VPS from Digital Ocean or any of the many alternatives? No need to learn the special AWS ways, keep it even simpler.
For me the 'sea of icons' of a control panel is a headache, I much prefer command line and saving my history for when I learn something crucial.
I used to be a linux shell only person but I am quite keen on having ssh windows in the IDE nowadays with git and rsync for getting code and 'assets' from dev machine to the internet. Connecting to remote databases via the IDE is pretty good too.
It is easier to Google how to do something and copy/paste command line commands than it is to follow a GUI tutorial.
