EC2

Here is AWS CLI script if you want to launch through CLI or use AWS Console

 aws ec2 run-instances \ 
   --image-id ami-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx\ 
    --count 3 \ 
    --instance-type xx.xxxx \ 
    --key-name YourKey \ 
    --security-group-ids sg-xxxxxxxxxxxx \ 
    --subnet-id subnet-xxxxxxx \ 
    --associate-public-ip-address \ 
    --tag-specifications 'ResourceType=instance,Tags=[{Key=Name,Value=GlusterFS -}]' 

Use Putty to SSH into all three Servers, Configure putty If you want to use muti-SSH try mRemoteNG Also Note down the Public IP for all three servers, for the easy of understanding

Let's Re-name Servers on Console

Server	Rename to	Public IP
Server 1	GlusterFS-01	ip1 (use your server1 public IP)
Server 2	GlusterFS-02	ip2 (use your server2 public IP)
Server 3	GlusterFS-03	ip3 (use your server3 public IP)

Git

Make sure EC2/VM have git installed
To check

git --version

To install git

sudo apt install git-all
