Installing and configuring open source tools that are unmanaged, with command line access, in Amazon AWS

Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but I am looking to create an architecture in Amazon AWS, but do not want to use all managed services. For example, I want to install an unmanaged version of Apache Kafka. Can I install and configure open source tools like this with command line access, and have full control over the tool?

Yes. You can create an EC2 instance and do whatever you like on it, just like any other Linux server.

Beware that AWS is a complex enterprise platform, not a simple hosting service. You really need to be aware of security issues if you're going to put resources on AWS.
