How to ssh to the remote server using Windows machine

In this blog, I will explain how to use the putty and puttygen software to connect to the remote server.

putty is a free software application for  Window. which can be used to make a connection to the remote server.


What you need 
  • ssh login credential
  • download putty.exe and puttygen.exe from this link 
Initial Plan

I have created an AWS EC2 instance and downloaded the myKeys.pem file. By using the puttygen software, myKeys.pem will be converted to myKeys.ppk format. Finally, using this key I will make a connection to the remote server using putty.

Let's Start.

Step 1: convert .pem to  .ppk 

Start the puttygen application.




Click on Load and select the .pem file to be converted.




click on the "Save Private Key" button and name the key with .ppk extension and save.

Now I have the myKeys.ppk file. I will use this key to connect to the remote server.


Step 2: make a connection with the remote server


Start the putty application and go to Auth under ssh section




Browse the created .ppk file and go to the session



After filling the remote username and the IP address (Host Name section), open the connection.

Understanding C1 and C2 Compilers in Java

Understanding C1 and C2 Compilers in Java Understanding C1 and C2 Compilers in Java In Java, the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler is a part of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) that improves the performance of Java applications by compiling bytecode into native machine code at runtime. The JIT compiler includes two different compilers, known as the C1 and C2 compilers, each with distinct optimization strategies and purposes. C1 Compiler (Client Compiler) The C1 compiler, also known as the client compiler, is designed for fast startup times and lower memory consumption. It performs lighter and quicker optimizations, which makes it suitable for applications that require quick startup and responsiveness. Key characteristics of the C1 compiler include: Quick Compilation: Prioritizes fast compilation times over deep optimizations. Low Overhead: Consumes less memory and resources during compilation. Profile-Guided Optimization: Ca...

Understanding -XX:+PrintCompilation Output in Java

Understanding -XX:+PrintCompilation Output in Java Understanding -XX:+PrintCompilation Output in Java The -XX:+PrintCompilation flag in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) prints information about the methods being compiled by the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler. When you enable this flag, the JVM will output a log of compilation events to the standard output. Each line of the output provides information about a specific method being compiled. Here, I'll explain the meaning of the different columns and markers, specifically focusing on the n , s , and % markers as seen in your example. Explanation of Output Columns and Markers Here's a breakdown of what each column and marker means: Timestamp : The time (in milliseconds) since the JVM started when the compilation event occurred. Compilation ID : A unique identifier for each compilation task within the JVM's lifecycle. Optimization Level : The lev...

What is L1, L2 and L3 Support Engineering

In this blog article, I'm going to explain about the Software support engineering role with my experience. I was a Level 2 and 3 support Engineer during my career. L1 - Level 1 L2 - Level 2 L3 - Level 3 Ticket - Incident L1 support includes interacting with customers, understand their issue and create tickets against it. The ticket then routed to the relevant L2 support ( Integration support, Server & Storage support, etc ...). L1 support Engineers have basic knowledge of product/service and skill to troubleshoot a very basic issue like password reset, software installation/uninstallation/reinstallation. L2 support manages the tickets which routed to them by L1( L2 support also can create tickets against any issue notice by them). They have more knowledge, more experience in solving related complex issues and can guide/help L1 support folks job in troubleshooting. If the solution not provided at this level then escalate to the L3. L3 is ...
