How to Set Up an RDP Server on AWS Linux Instance?

I want to create an RDP-enabled cloud server on AWS, but instead of Windows, I prefer using a Linux instance (Amazon Linux).
If anyone has experience with this or has tried running an RDP server on AWS Linux, I’d love to hear your feedback and tips!

Running an RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) server on a Linux instance, such as Amazon Linux, is definitely possible, though it requires some setup since RDP is traditionally a Windows protocol.
Since Amazon Linux is a server-oriented distribution, it doesn’t come with a desktop environment by default. You’ll need to install one.
The most common RDP server for Linux is xrdp. You can install it as follows:

sudo yum install xrdp -y

Then don't forget to tune firewall and you can test it.
