I have a t1.micro Amazon Linux AMI instance running. Now, I want to access it using VNC so that I get the GUI.
I came across Guacamole and the installation instructions for the server side configuration.
So, I get it that we need to setup Apache Tomcat on the Linux machine and then install all the required dependencies, edit the configuration files for Tomcat.
But, how do I access it from Windows? What is the client side configuration?
From what I understood so far, instead of using a VNC Client like TightVNC or VNCViewer, we can use the Web Browser to access the Amazon EC2 instance.
I am using Windows 7 as the client.
I would like to access the Amazon Linux AMI (t1.micro instance) over VNC so that I get the GUI.
