DevOps(Day-50) : AWS Introduction, IAM and Creating IAM user

 

  • AWS

  • IAM

  • Task1: Creating IAM user.

Amazon Web Services(AWS) is a cloud computing platform that is provided by Amazon which provides several benefits including IAAS, PAAS, and SAAS.

Amazon.com Web Services launched its first web services in 2002 from the internal infrastructure that Amazon.com built to handle its online retail operations. In 2006, it began offering its defining IaaS services. AWS was one of the first companies to introduce pay-as-you-go services to its clients.

With AWS one can have remote servers, databases, storage units, Network configurations, Container platforms, etc.

Identity and Access Management(IAM) is a web service that helps you securely control access to AWS resources. With IAM, you can centrally manage permissions that control which AWS resources users can access. You use IAM to control who is authenticated (signed in) and authorized (has permissions) to use resources.

It ensures that the right people and job roles in your organization (identities) can access the tools they need to do their jobs.

Aim - Create an IAM user with a username of your wish and grant EC2 Access. Launch your Linux instance through the IAM user that you created now and install Jenkins and Docker on your machine via a single Shell Script.

  1. Create an EC2 instance with your default root user.

  2. Now, Navigate to the IAM console page.

  3. Choose the User option and create a user.

  4. Provide the specific permission according to the requirement.

  5. Create a group and provide the access to the specific components on AWS defined policies.

  6. Navigate to security credential section for the user to provide the login password manually.

  7. Now, Sign in to the AWS console by choosing IAM user. Make sure you have the 12 digit unique code from IAM console for the user.

  8. Now you have successfully logged in to the AWS console using IAM user.

  9. Login to the existing instance and write a script to install Jenkins and Docker on the server.

  10. Run the script after giving specific permission.

  11. Verify the installed version of Jenkins and Docker.

Thanks for reading my article. Have a nice day.

DevOps(Day-97): Meta-Arguments in Terraform

  TABLE OF CONTENTS Write about meta-arguments and their use in Terraform. Task-01: Meta-Arguments HandsOn Count for-each When you define a resource block in Terraform, by default, this specifies one resource that will be created. To manage several of the same resources, you can use either count or for_each, which removes the need to write a separate block of code for each one. Using these options reduces overhead and makes your code neater. count is what is known as a ‘meta-argument’ defined by the Terraform language. Meta-arguments help achieve certain requirements within the resource block. Write about meta-arguments and their use in Terraform. Meta-arguments in Terraform refer to a set of special arguments that can be used to define how a particular resource or module behaves within a Terraform configuration. These arguments provide additional configuration options and enable fine-grained control over the behaviour of resources or modules. Meta-arguments are prefixed with the...

DevOps(Day-95): Auto Scaling with Terraform

Image
  TABLE OF CONTENTS Understanding Scaling Pre-requisites Task 1: Create an Auto Scaling Group Task 2: Test Scaling Yesterday, we learned how to AWS S3 Bucket with Terraform. Today, we will see how to scale our infrastructure with Terraform. Understanding Scaling Scaling is the process of adding or removing resources to match the changing demands of your application. As your application grows, you will need to add more resources to handle the increased load. And as the load decreases, you can remove the extra resources to save costs. Terraform makes it easy to scale your infrastructure by providing a declarative way to define your resources. You can define the number of resources you need and Terraform will automatically create or destroy the resources as needed. Pre-requisites Create a  terraform.tf  file declaring the providers to be installed in the system according to the resources required. Create a  provider.tf  file to declare the region. Create a  vp...

DevOps (Day-1) Introduction

Image
  TABLE OF CONTENTS Infrastructure Automation Why DevOps is Important? What is DevOps? As the name indicates:- Dev + Ops = Development + Operations. Development i) Backend Developers ii) Front-end Developers iii) QA Operations i) System admins ii) Network admins iii) Database admins The practice of operations and development engineers participating together in the entire service lifecycle through a pipeline from design through the development process to production support. This process is known as DevOps. This is a process of automating the whole infrastructure. Now here comes a query, what are we automating? We are automating the whole team's work from the code-building stage to code deployment. Scenario 1:- In a company, there is a project in which developers are writing the code and deploying it to the QA environment frequently for each sprint. This code is then tested by the testing team. Suppose there is a situation of mishap happens where the testing team used the older code ...
