AMAZON EC2 WITH COMMAND LINE

                                

Step 1 :-

• Sign Up for Amazon EC2

When you create an Amazon Web Services (AWS) account, AWS automatically signs up the account for all AWS services, including Amazon EC2. With Amazon EC2, you pay only for what you use. New AWS customers can get started with Amazon EC2 for free. For more information, see Amazon EC2 Pricing.

If you have an AWS account already, skip to the next step. If you don't have an AWS account, use the following procedure to create one.

To create an AWS account

1. Go to http://aws.amazon.com and click Sign Up Now.

2. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Part of the sign-up process involves receiving a phone call and entering a PIN using the phone keypad.

Step 2:

• Launch an Amazon EC2 Instance Command line :-

Download

nitin@nitin-ubuntu:~$ wget "http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html/ref=aws_rc_ec2tools?location=http://s3.amazonaws.com/ec2-downloads/ec2-api-tools.zip&token=A80325AA4DAB186C80828ED5138633E3F49160D9"

nitin@nitin-ubuntu:~$ sudo unzip ec2-api-tools.zip

nitin@nitin-ubuntu:~$ sudo mv ec2-api-tools-1.6.7.4 ec2

nitin@nitin-ubuntu:~$ sudo mv ec2 /usr/bin/

• Configure enviroment variable

nitin@nitin-ubuntu:~$ sudo vim /etc/bash.bashrc

export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/java

export EC2_HOME=/usr/bin/ec2/

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY=<Give your Access key>

export AWS_SECRET_KEY=<Give your Secret key>

export PATH=/usr/bin/ec2/bin/:$EC2_HOME:$JAVA_HOME:$PATH

Step 3:-

• Test Your Configration :-

nitin@nitin-ubuntu:~$ sudo ec2-describe-regions

REGION eu-west-1 ec2.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com

REGION sa-east-1 ec2.sa-east-1.amazonaws.com

REGION us-east-1 ec2.us-east-1.amazonaws.com

REGION ap-northeast-1 ec2.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com

REGION us-west-2 ec2.us-west-2.amazonaws.com

REGION us-west-1 ec2.us-west-1.amazonaws.com

REGION ap-southeast-1 ec2.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com

REGION ap-southeast-2 ec2.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com

Make sure you will get above output

• Check Avaliable images form AWS

nitin@nitin-ubuntu:~$ ec2-describe-images -a

You will get all images (AMI) Amazon machine Images from aws

Step 4:-

• To Create new instance on EC2

Key Pair additions :-

In order to login securely to a public AMI instance, you will need a public/private keypair.Amazon EC2 public images use this feature to provide secure access without passwords. There is a command in the API tools for this. You only have to choose a name for the keypair as parameter

nitin@nitin-ubuntu:~$ ec2-add-keypair keypair_for_ubuntu > keypair_for_ubuntu.pem

• Instance Creations :-

nitin@nitin-ubuntu:~$ ec2run <AMI Image ID> -k <Path for key pair file> -t <Type of instance>

nitin@nitin-ubuntu:~$ ec2run ami-76057f24-k keypair_for_ubuntu.pem -t t1.micro

Option Explantion :-

ami-76057f24 -> AMI image

keypair_for_ubuntu.pem -> Key pair genrated by ec2-add-keypair

t1.micro -> Type of instance

Instance ID returned by ec2-run-instances command is an identifier and will be used later to manipulate this instance (in this example, i-27494b46)

• Check Instance Status

nitin@nitin-ubuntu:~$ ec2-describe-instance-status i-XXXXXX

Status must show active

Step 5:

• Access the instance with ssh

nitin@nitin-ubuntu:~$ sudo ssh -i <PATH of Key Pair> user@<Hostname address you will get from ec2run command>

nitin@nitin-ubuntu:~$ sudo ssh -i .ec2/keypair_for_ubuntu ubuntu@ec2-<DNS-NAME-IPADDRESS>
