I want to set up a cloud VM running Linux - probably Kali. I have seen people AWS is a good candidate and you can use it free so I was wondering if it’s a good option, if not, what would you recommend?

If AWS is a good option, what do I need to set up with? Because AWS comes with quite a few packages such as storage, bandwidth, database, machine learning, containers etc.. I’ve never used it before so I’m not 100% some of the of the differences so any help would be great.

Thanks.

Yes, the best place for me to set up a Kali Linux VM is AWS. Work on the free tier; it lasts for 12 months. Sign up with AWS, proceed to EC2, launch an instance, select the AMI for Kali Linux, choose t2.micro type, configure settings, and then launch.

Perfect, thank you. I had a feeling but just wanted clarification before I waste my time with it.
