AWS SAM

The AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) is an open-source framework that enables you to build serverless applications on AWS. It provides you with a template specification to define your serverless application, and a command line interface (CLI) tool.

AWS AppSync

AWS AppSync simplifies application development by letting you create a flexible API to securely access, manipulate, and combine data from one or more data sources. AppSync is a managed service that uses GraphQL to make it easy for applications to get exactly the data they need.

My User Data Recipe for an AWS EC2 Instance launched with Docker

21 Jul 2021 | Comments: 0 | Posted by: ttrentler | In: AWS

I’m using an Ubuntu server instance on EC2 and run the below script as user data on initial launch . . . .

I need to manually update the Docker compose URL/version in the script below – – Still need to figure out how to automate that.

User Data to launch Ubuntu instance with Docker installed

#!/bin/bash
# Install docker
apt-get update
apt-get install -y apt-transport-https ca-certificates curl software-properties-common
curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
add-apt-repository \
   "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu \
   $(lsb_release -cs) \
   stable"
apt-get update
apt-get install -y docker-ce
usermod -aG docker ubuntu

# Install docker-compose
curl -L https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.21.0/docker-compose-$(uname -s)-$(uname -m) -o /usr/local/bin/docker-compose
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/docker-compose

# READ MORE: https://docs.docker.com/install/linux/docker-ce/ubuntu/
# To check: grep "cloud-init\[" /var/log/syslog
#       OR: less /var/log/cloud-init-output.log
