You have to create at minimum a vpc, internet gateway and at least one subnet/route table pointing to the igw

Oh man, I don't know any of these concepts (rather I've heard of all of them, but don't know how they apply in practice). I'm probably not the target customer for AWS any more haha. Been so long since I did anything web related. Time to find some networking for dummies youtube channels I guess.
Nah, it's just EC2 you are not a target of. Checkout AWS Lightsail

A default VPC is created automatically. For simple projects, that's good enough.

Only if you have a private subnet.
