Download the cloudwatch agent from the AWS Official Docs according to your platform.

Assuming that you are running Ubuntu with x86_64 architecture on your EC2

Cleanups

⚠️ If you have already installed apache, you must uninstall it

DNSmasq wildcard on Ubuntu 18/20

💡 The dnsmasq service will fail to start, you can ignore those errors for time being
Disable the default systemd-resolved service

wget --quiet -O - https://www.postgresql.org/media/keys/ACCC4CF8.asc | sudo apt-key add -
sudo apt-get update
