How to setup Avalanche Blockchain(PoS) nodes in AWS?

Question

Avalanche, a blockchain that uses PoS(Proof of Stake), is an incredibly lightweight protocol, so the minimum computer requirements are quite modest:

• Hardware: CPU > 2 GHz, RAM > 4 GB, Storage > 10 GB free space
• OS: Ubuntu 18.04/20.04

That blockchain protocol has released a node program in binary. And I just need to run this binary file. So I will need the command line access, too.

May I know how to setup such blockchain nodes in AWS ? Should I use EC2 or ECS or VPC or Elastic beanstalk or Lightsail ?

And how to expose that node's IP and port so AWS Lambda functions can call on it? Thank you!
