For any new developer hosting Angular application on AWS EC2 instance can be confusing some time. Running ng serve starts the server but still your applicatoin is not running.

You need to check few thins in your EC2 instance

2. After allowing the port run ng serve with correct domain name or Public DNS shown in EC2 Instance for example "ec2-xx-xx-xx-xx.eu-west-1.compute.amazonaws.com"
