AWS Set up

Introduction

This is the place where all of my setup I feel needs noting is done.

Roles

In AWS you can associate several roles with one user. To switch roles you can use the drop down on the right hand side of the page

To create a new role to switch to you can press the SWITCH ROLE. You will need

• Account
• Role
• Choose a display name

Serverless

This is an example of how to deploy serverless application. There are some perquisites before starting

sudo npm install -g serverless  
sudo npm install -g serverless-bundle
sudo npm install -g aws-sdk
sudo npm install -g aws-cli

You will need to have a ~/.aws/config file which defines your AWS Profiles to use

 [bibble-nz-prod]
 region=ap-southeast-2
 output=json

 [bibble-nz-nonprod]
 region=ap-southeast-2
 output=json

You will need to have a ~/.aws/credentials file

 [bibble-nz-prod]
 aws_access_key_id=ABC1
 aws_secret_access_key=123

 [bibble-nz-nonprod]
 aws_access_key_id=ABC2
 aws_secret_access_key=456

We need to have a project to deploy. E.g. git clone myproject. From there we can deploy using

serverless deploy --stage dev --verbose

This will output with the following information

Service Information
service: <--- name of the service
stage: dev <--- the stage
region: ap-southeast-2
stack: <--- name of the thing created
resources: 29
api keys:
