What this card says
What it is
Installing a web server on Amazon Linux 2023.
Nginx: sudo yum install -y nginx. Apache: sudo yum install -y httpd.
Then start it
sudo systemctl enable --now nginx starts it now and at every boot.
Why it matters for security
A new install shows a default test page and the version number.
Attackers use these to identify your server. Replace the page and hide versions before going live.
Common mistake
Changing configs when the browser fails. First run curl -I http://localhost on the server. If that works, check the security group.
