  <Step title="Create an EC2 instance">
    Create an EC2 instance with the appropriate resources. For this guide,
    we will use the recommended `m7g.xlarge` instance.

    - Select the `64-bit (Arm)` architecture
    - Select the `m7g.xlarge` instance type
    - Select `Allow HTTPS traffic from the internet` in the *Network settings* section

    sudo yum install docker -y
    sudo service docker start

    sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/latest/download/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
