AWS CLI in Action
- Lets use the CLI to create a script to launch an ec2 instance
- Lets write individual commands
- to create ec2 instance
- manage ec2 instances
Realize EC2 CLI
- Create an aws ec2 instance with ubuntu ami in the us-west-2 region
aws ec2 run-instances --image-id 'ami-0d1cd67c26f5fca19' --instance-type 't2.micro' --key-name 'chef' --security-group-ids "sg-003772772f5073f26"
- Make a note of instance id (i-0ce835ae5156b19e5)
- Now Stop the ec2-instance
aws ec2 stop-instances --instance-ids i-0ce835ae5156b19e5
- Now Start the instance
aws ec2 start-instances --instance-ids i-0ce835ae5156b19e5
- Now stop the instance and resize it to t2.nano
aws ec2 modify-instance-attribute --instance-id i-0ce835ae5156b19e5 --instance-type 'Value=t2.nano'
- Create an AMI from EC2 machine and view the image using CLI
- Note: Generally for Creating AMI’s most of the organizations use automated tools such as Packer.
Exercise: Take a closer look of creating a ec2 instance of every possible option
- You can make a note/screenshot/mindmap especially configure instance
