How to access an NGINX server page from an AWS ubuntu instance over the internet?

Navigation

I just created an instance of ubuntu in AWS and installed NGINX as the server. It seems that everything is correct: 

root@ip-172-31-8-234:/home/ubuntu# netstat -ntlp
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address           Foreign Address         State       PID/Program name
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      11856/nginx -g daem
tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:22              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN      1328/sshd
tcp6       0      0 :::80                   :::*                    LISTEN      11856/nginx -g daem
tcp6       0      0 :::22                   :::*                    LISTEN      1328/sshd

And this is the NGINX server home page: 

ubuntu@ip-172-31-8-234:~$ curl localhost
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Welcome to nginx!</title>
<style>
    body {
        width: 35em;
        margin: 0 auto;
        font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif;
    }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome to nginx!</h1>
<p>If you see this page, the nginx web server is successfully installed and
working. Further configuration is required.</p>

<p><em>Thank you for using nginx.</em></p>
</body>
</html>

I am accessing through SSH - putty.

When I try to access the web browser, I get an error: 

This site can’t be reached

54.94.152.233 took too long to respond.

These are the instance settings in AWS: 

Public DNS (IPv4) - ec2-54-94-152-233.sa-east-1.compute.amazonaws.com
Instance state - running
IPv4 Public IP - 54.94.152.233

I can not access the welcome page of NGINX over the internet. What am I doing wrong? Are there any missing configuration in AWS?

You should free port 80 on Security Group of Instance, which by default is inaccessible.

On the Inbound tab, just add the corresponding rule: if you put HTTP on Type , it already fills the field with port 80.

Source 0.0.0.0 opens for everyone. Or you can fill in your IP for only you access (there is a helper there My IP that fills with your IP).
