Effective DevOps with AWS

Deploying Your First Web Application

In the previous chapter, we covered a general introduction to the cloud, its benefits, and what having a DevOps philosophy means. AWS offers a number of services that are all easily accessible through the web interface, command-line interface, various SDKs, and APIs. In this chapter, we will take advantage of the web interface and command-line interface to create and configure our account and create a web server to host a simple Hello World application, all in a matter of minutes.

In this chapter, we will go through the following topics:

  • Creating and configuring your account
  • Spinning up your first web server

Technical requirements

Creating and configuring your account

If you haven't signed up for AWS yet, it is time to do so.

Signing up

This step is, of course, fairly simple and self-explanatory. In order to sign up (if you haven't done so yet), open https://portal.aws.amazon.com in your browser, click on the Create a new AWS account button, and follow the steps. You will need an email address and your credit card information.

The two exceptions to this process are as follows:

  • If you plan to deploy servers in China, then you need to create your account in the AWS China region at https://www.amazonaws.cn/.
  • AWS has a special facility called GovCloud for specific regulatory needs of United States federal, state, and local agencies. To sign...

Creating our first web server

Now that we have our environment set up, we are finally ready to launch our first EC2 instance. There are a couple of ways to do that. Since we just installed and configured awscli and we want to see effective ways of managing infrastructures, we will demonstrate how to do this using the CLI.

Launching a virtual server requires having a certain amount of information ahead of time. We will use the aws ec2 run-instances command, but we need to supply it with the following:

  • An AMI ID
  • An instance type
  • A security group
  • An SSH key-pair

Amazon Machine Images (AMIs)

An AMI is a package that contains, among other things, the root file system with the operating system (for example, Linux, UNIX, or Windows...

Summary

This chapter was a quick and simple introduction to AWS and its most notorious service, EC2. After signing up for AWS, we configured our environment in such a way that we could create a virtual server using the command-line interface. Leading to this, we selected our first AMI, created our first security group, and generated our SSH keys, which we will reuse throughout the book. After launching an EC2 instance, we manually deployed a simple Node.js application to display Hello World.

While the process wasn't very fastidious thanks to the AWS CLI, it still required going through numerous steps, which aren't very repeatable. We also deployed the application without any automation or validation. Furthermore, the only way we can check if the application is running is by manually checking the endpoint. In the remainder of the book, we will revisit the process of creating...

Questions

Please answer the following questions:

  1. How do you create a free-tier AWS account?
  2. How do you create your first AWS cloud instance using the AWS Console portal?
  3. How do you create your first AWS cloud instance using the AWS CLI utility?
  4. How do you deploy a simple Hello World web application on your newly created AWS instance?
  5. How do you destroy your created AWS instance to complete this exercise?

Key benefits

  • Implement continuous integration and continuous deployment pipelines on AWS
  • Gain insight from an expert who has worked with Silicon Valley's most high-profile companies
  • Implement DevOps principles to take full advantage of the AWS stack and services

Description

The DevOps movement has transformed the way modern tech companies work. Amazon Web Services (AWS), which has been at the forefront of the cloud computing revolution, has also been a key contributor to the DevOps movement, creating a huge range of managed services that help you implement DevOps principles. Effective DevOps with AWS, Second Edition will help you to understand how the most successful tech start-ups launch and scale their services on AWS, and will teach you how you can do the same. This book explains how to treat infrastructure as code, meaning you can bring resources online and offline as easily as you control your software. You will also build a continuous integration and continuous deployment pipeline to keep your app up to date. Once you have gotten to grips will all this, we'll move on to how to scale your applications to offer maximum performance to users even when traffic spikes, by using the latest technologies, such as containers. In addition to this, you'll get insights into monitoring and alerting, so you can make sure your users have the best experience when using your service. In the concluding chapters, we'll cover inbuilt AWS tools such as CodeDeploy and CloudFormation, which are used by many AWS administrators to perform DevOps. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to ensure the security of your platform and data, using the latest and most prominent AWS tools.

Who is this book for?

Effective DevOps with AWS is for you if you are a developer, DevOps engineer, or you work in a team which wants to build and use AWS for software infrastructure. Basic computer science knowledge is required to get the most out of this book.

What you will learn

  • Implement automatic AWS instance provisioning using CloudFormation
  • Deploy your application on a provisioned infrastructure with Ansible
  • Manage infrastructure using Terraform
  • Build and deploy a CI/CD pipeline with Automated Testing on AWS
  • Understand the container journey for a CI/CD pipeline using AWS ECS
  • Monitor and secure your AWS environment

I found the book well organized and build around a plot that evolves in a very fluent and intelligent way.The discourse starts with a smart immersion in the DevOps Cluture and brings in the AWS native Cloud offering."Deploy your First Web App" is a perfect walkthrough of the essentials of AWS cloud services.The section of "Infrastructure as a Code" introduces the role of automation and it makes the point on the importance of the configuration management.The "CI/CD" shows a mastering of the argument and it provides good reference material."IaaC" and "CI/CD" are definitively exploited describing the Docker technology deployed in AWS.Last but not least, the explanation of how scale and secure solutions on AWS makes the book more than interesting.Little less than 400 pages of reference material that provide an effective swiss knife to any AWS and Cloud Engineer.

The information in the book is good. Unfortunately the code examples are very poorly written. The formatting is off and required characters like dashes and commas are missing. This makes for a very frustrating learning experience. Although trying to find all of the errors does provide for a better understanding. The web based Kindle reader for Linux machines doesn't allow for copy/paste, which also makes things a little more frustrating when there are large commands or file content to type up.

To much things outdated- CloudFormer deprecate.- AWS AMI used is v1. In version 2 nodejs installation fails. You have to fix the examples.CloudFormation do not explained.Chapter 6 Scaling Your Infraestructure is all done by AWS web console, no code, no automation in a DevOps book.Definitively, a waste of mony.

Writing the examples from this book is a nightmare, you would have a better chance understanding your code from Amazon's blog on the topic you are interested. The book lures you in with the first two chapters, which are already infuriating to reproduce, then by chapter three none of the code given works. If you manage to scramble your way through chapter three I applaud you but after 30 hours of work leading to nothing but frustration, I dropped the book. I picked up some youtube tutorials and took to the Amazon AWS Blogs to pick up the rest of what I wanted to know. I would never recommend this torture to a friend or a new user. All in all, I hated the book and will never read from this author again.
