The Learn DevOps: Infrastructure Automation With Terraform tutorial from Udemy is very good. While it is focuses on using Terraform to manage AWS it also gives a good introduction on how to assemble AWS' many moving parts.
The only trouble I had with the examples was that the initial ones assume that you have IP access via the AWS default security group. That might not be the case and so you will need to use the AWS console to allow your machine's public IP address ingress. To do this, go to the AWS Console, then to the EC2 dashboard, then to the Security Groups resource, and in that dialog select the default security group and add an Inbound rule for your public IP address.
