Setting up deployment infrastructure

• Go to cdk-ec2-instagram
• Run npm i
• If needed, ensure you have the prerequisites for working with AWS
• Run cdk deploy
• Run the following command to download your private key-pair needed for connecting to the EC2 instance through SSH:

  aws secretsmanager get-secret-value \
  --secret-id ec2-ssh-key/cdk-ec2-instagram/private \
  --query SecretString \
  --output text > cdk-ec2-instagram.pem
  

• Run cdk destroy when you're done playing with the cloud to remove the infrastructure and avoid incuring excessive charges.

Setup

• Got to AWS EC2 console
• Create a micro EC2 instance
• Create a new default VPC
• Download the key-pair file (*.pem)

On your local machine

• cd {project_root}
• mv ~/Downloads/mypair.pem .
• chmod 400 mypair.pem
• zip -r instagram.zip .
• scp -r -i mypair.pem ./instagram.zip ec2-user@54.173.189.173:~/
• ssh -i mypair.pem ec2-user@54.173.189.173

On the EC2 instance

• unzip instagram.zip -d instagram
• cd instagram
• sudo yum update
• sudo yum install docker
• sudo curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.21.0/docker-compose-`uname -s`-`uname -m` | sudo tee /usr/local/bin/docker-compose > /dev/null
• sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
• sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/docker-compose /usr/bin/docker-compose
• sudo service docker start
• sudo docker-compose up

Resource sharing

• Based on the docs it looks like it's not possible to share EC2 instances (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ram/latest/userguide/shareable.html)
