Linux vs Windows Operating System server

Introduction
Linux and Windows operating systems are both dominant in the web-hosting in the IT industry.
They are both widely used by almost everybody but this might depend on the organization's desires.
Linux is the most secure operating system since there security on their servers are very high as
compared to windows. Windows requires antivirus to be installed so that it can prevent penetrations
from hackers and malware away from infecting the systems but Linux has default security software
which cannot be easily attacked by hackers. Linux requires experts to understand operating using
this system since they involve mostly the use of the commands as compared to Windows which is
more user-friendly but more vulnerable in terms of the security measures. Linux is the best OS in
terms of security. This is an important factor since it is very easy to implement and also a bust
factor. This is setting up the security measures which are basic but useful in all circumstance. In
SQL servers, you have to only choose and allow a few people who can access it and make use of it
in a useful manner. The capacity of the server is cost-effective according to the used space hence by
controlling the access then it will be cheaper than allowing access from people who cannot make
use of it (Slapp III, E&C HOLDING COMPANY LLC, 2019).
Abstract
Security plan in networks and servers is the most important tasks which will ensure that what you
are doing can only be useful to the intended people and also only authorized people can access and
change appropriately. If the system will be manipulated then everything that is important and also
they can still use files which cannot be retrieved easily. It is always advisable to priorities security
in all systems hence the environment for working will be saved and also everything you do will be
private and the assurance of service providing is maximized. Linux has proven to be the best due to
its sophisticated options used in web servers. Also, reliability, stability, and efficiency make it be the
top even though it might involve some cost on the pay-based support from the experts but it always
pays off also. Programmers also prefer to use Linux because of its open source for applications
hosting, discussions forums among the experts, and also management systems content by the
administrators. Experts and programmers find very secured and very reliable to use because their
software is free and also the virtual environment can be used which is very important in source code
security (Zhang, Ju, Zhai, Song, Song, and Ma, 2019 pp. 89-97).

Linux vs Windows Operating System server
Linux and Windows operating systems are both dominant in the web-hosting in the IT industry.
They are both widely used by almost everybody but this might depend on the organization's desires.
Linux is the most secure operating system since there security on their servers are very high as
compared to windows. Windows requires antivirus to be installed so that it can prevent penetrations
from hackers and malware away from infecting the systems but Linux has default security software
which cannot be easily attacked by hackers. Linux requires experts to understanding operating using
this system since they involve mostly the use of the commands as compared to Windows which is
more user-friendly but more vulnerable in terms of the security measures. Linux is the best OS in
terms of security (Aaqib, and Sharma, 2019 pp. 441-447).
Linux has proven to be the best due to its sophisticated options used in web servers. Also, reliability,
stability, and efficiency make it be the top even though it might involve some cost on the pay-based
support from the experts but it always pays off also. Programmers also prefer to use Linux because

very reliable to use because their software is free and also the virtual environment can be used
which is very important in source code security (Zhang, Ju, Zhai, Song, Song, and Ma, 2019 pp. 89-
97).
Linux has native support for the secure shell which is very important in servers management.
Software updates can only be done by use of apt-get update command then it will update all
software to the latest versions but in windows, you need to update individual software will close
monitoring to check any problem during upgrading. Linux customization is very flexible, unlike the
windows where it is difficult to tweak it to your satisfaction. Privacy is also assured in Linux since
only use of commands and also password is required to access them (Aaqib, and Sharma, 2019 pp.
441-447).
Linux is, therefore, the most preferred OS and hence it is recommendable to use in web servers as
compared to windows because of its security and privacy. Windows is also secured but it requires
great attention which is costly and the hackers can easily penetrate and manipulate the system
(Slapp III, E&C HOLDING COMPANY LLC, 2019).
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2)
Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) is basically a web service that provides secure, re-
sizable compute capacity in the cloud. The main function is to give the developers an upper hand in
web-scale cloud computing by providing an interface for obtaining and configuring the capacities
with fewer frictions on the web service. It will only allow developers to pay for the capacities they
used during development (Bailey, B. 2019).
Amazon EC2 will allow you to increase or decrease the capacity within few minutes or minimal
time also you can use auto-scaling to ease the management. The user also will have complete access
as root and also you can interact with them. It also allows you to choose your own configurations of
memory, CPU, and boot partition size. It is also very secure and reliable to use since AWS is the
highest priority (Salman, Uddin, Acheampong, and Xu, 2019, March pp. 25-34).

How to Install Amazon EC2
Amazon EC2 should be launched, connected, and we use the Linux instance. Linux instance is a
virtual server that is found in the AWS cloud. We can configure the operating system and
applications that run on our instance by the help of the Amazon EC2 (Bailey, B., 2019) (Ivanov,
Mitevski, Gelev, Pavlov, and Mitsov, VMware Inc, 2019).
1. Launch an Instance
Linux instance can be launched using the AWS management console. Basically, you have to open
the console then start the configurations such as choosing the types, securities, and capabilities
(Salman, Uddin, Acheampong, and Xu, 2019, March pp. 25-34).
2. Connecting to Your Instance
Connections to your instance will only be possible after the launching with a pair key available in
the files with a security group of SSH access found in the computer. If in any case an instance is not
connected, then we can see Troubleshooting for assistance in the connections which will boost the
perfections of the connections (Ivanov, Mitevski, Gelev, Pavlov, and Mitsov, VMware Inc, 2019).
