Part 1. Amazon Web Service (~5 mins)

Amazon Web Services (AWS) offers cloud services to deploy your workloads. A workload can be everything from a simple static website, to an e-commerce website and a data pipeline to analyse weather data. Cloud Services Providers like AWS (and others: Google with GCP & Microsoft with Azure) offer a lot of "managed services" like Compute, Networking, Storage for the simplest and Kubernetes, Kafka or Postgresql for advanced services. AWS provides hundreds of managed services but we will use a few of them for the Dojo.

Don't worry if you don't know AWS or the service that we will use. Everything is explained and a solution is provided every time. Don't forget to ask the staff if you have any question, at any time!

🏆 Objective: Get your credentials and test your access

⚙️ Exercise 1 :

  • If you don't have already, install the AWS CLI, it's time to do it

  • You have received an email with an invitation to a dedicaced AWS Account specially created for the Dojo

  • Use the provided URL to setup your account. You need to set your password

  • Verify that your are on the Paris region (top right of the AWS console)

  • Once connected, click on your name on the top right menu and select Security Credentials

  • Next, in the section "Access keys for CLI, SDK, & API access" click on "Create access Key"

  • Your Access key is created, now you need to record it on your machine

  • There are two methods

    • Method 1: Let yourself be guided by aws configure command

    • Method 2: Copy the values and create the file manually

      • Open your shell and create a directory .aws at the root of your home directory
      • Create a file credentials inside this directory and copy the following content with the values from the AWS console
      [default]
aws_access_key_id=AKIAxxxxxx
aws_secret_access_key=xxxxxx
      • Create a file config inside the same directory and copy the following content
      [default]
region=eu-west-3
output=json

  • Now you can test your access to AWS

aws sts get-caller-identity

The command will output something like this:

{
    "UserId": "AIxxxxxxx",
    "Account": "xxxxx",
    "Arn": "arn:aws:iam::xxxxxxx:user/guillaumel"
}
