Execution Constraints

Region

us-east-1

Instance Type

t3.micro

Required Tag

platform:lab=ec2-launch-basic

Mission Brief

Your objective is deliberately narrow: launch exactly one EC2 instance in the operator AWS account while staying inside the session guardrails.

Constraints

  • Region: us-east-1
  • Instance type: t3.micro
  • Required tag: platform:lab=ec2-launch-basic

Success Condition

You are done when the instance is visible in the EC2 console with the correct type and required tag applied at launch time.

Notes For Phase 1

  • The platform only needs to support a single operator session.
  • Session persistence and terminal reconnect are still being wired in behind this UI shell.
  • Cleanup should happen through the control plane, not by relying on manual AWS console cleanup.
