OpenClaw install on AWS: what usually breaks
What EasyStart avoids
- Prebuilt AMI with baseline dependencies already in place.
- SSM-first access pattern (no public SSH needed by default).
- Clear setup flow focused on provider key + Telegram pairing.
- Known-good launch path in your own AWS account.
