Automate starting an EC2 instance

I want to start up an EC2 instance ready with all needed software installed by only providing the following parameters: AmazonSecretKey = "adfjndfndf" theOtherAmazonKey = "adjdjfnjdfn" Another coder has already completed such a project in Python (see attachment). This code however runs on Windows and I want your code to run on Linux, but you should be able to find all the essential parts from that code. You should implement this in Python. After you have started your EC2 instance, you should run all the commands in the attached bash script. After this, you should install the software you create in this project on the same EC2 instance, so it can be used to start other EC2 instances (please make this step a separate method, so it can easily be skipped if needed). You should use a 32-bit Micro Instance running ami-973b06e3 I know that we could solve this project by creating our own image, but we do not want this, you can read the reasoning behind this here: [login to view URL] In order to solve this project, you need to have a look at [login to view URL] to see who we are and what we stand for. You need to make your code very clean and well-commented. The next step after you complete this project is to create a web interface to start your script.
