Setup Workspace

Create new EC2 to deploy all the code

Create key pair

1. Go to Key pairs (ap-northeast-1 region) or Key pairs (cn-north-1 region)
2. Set Name: gcr-rs-dev-workshop-ec2-key

3. Suppose you are using Mac, save the key pair to you local disk, eg: ~/Downloads

4. Open an SSH client, run this command, to ensure your key is not publicly viewable

   cd ~/Downloads
   chmod 400 gcr-rs-dev-workshop-ec2-key.pem
   

Create new EC2 instance

1. Go to CloudFormation (ap-northeast-1 region) or CloudFormation (cn-north-1)

   CloudFormation template:

   • AWS Global region:

    https://aws-gcr-rs-sol-workshop-ap-northeast-1-common.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com/rs-dev-workshop-code/release/v2.0.1/rs-raw-ec2.yaml
   

   • AWS China region:

   https://aws-gcr-rs-sol-workshop-cn-north-1-common.s3.cn-north-1.amazonaws.com.cn/rs-dev-workshop-code/release/v2.0.1/cn-rs-raw-ec2.yaml
   

   

2. Stack name: gcr-rs-dev-workshop-ec2 KeyPairParam: gcr-rs-dev-workshop-ec2-key

   

3. Click Next -> Next -> Create Stack

   

4. Wait CloudFormation deployment complete

   This will take about 5 - 6 minutes to provision

5. Get CloudFormation output

6. Open an SSH client, connect to your instance, replace <EC2_IP_Address> with the EC2 IP

   cd ~/Downloads
   HOST_IP=<EC2_IP_Address>
   ssh -i "gcr-rs-dev-workshop-ec2-key.pem" ec2-user@${HOST_IP}
   

7. Type yes when showing the messages below.

   

8. Check your EC2 environment and related tools

   eksctl version
   kubectl version --client
   aws configure get default.region
   echo $REGION
   

   If the output is empty or error, please run tail /var/log/user-data.log to check the init log, maker sure init script finished successfully, then re-login the EC2.
