🌟 Day 38 of #90DaysOfDevOpsChallenge! πŸš€ Today, let's embark on a new journey with AWS Basics! ☁ Congratulations on how far you've come! Let's dive into the world of Amazon Web Services (AWS), one of the leading cloud providers. πŸ’ΌπŸ”

πŸ”‘ Start by understanding AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM). IAM allows you to securely control access to AWS resources, manage permissions, and control user authentication. Learn more about IAM here: IAM Overview

Task 1️⃣: Creating an IAM User and Launching a Linux Instance

  1. IAM User Creation:

    • Sign in to the AWS Management Console and navigate to IAM.

  • Click on "Users" and then "Add user".

    • Enter a username of your choice, select "Programmatic access", and click "Next: Permissions".

      • Choose "Attach existing policies directly" and select

  • "AmazonEC2FullAccess". Click "Next: Tags" and then "Next: Review".

  • Review the user details and click "Create user". Make sure to note down the access key and secret key. οΏ½

  1. Launching a Linux Instance:

    • Navigate to the EC2 Dashboard and click "Launch instance".

  • Choose an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) for your Linux instance.

  • Configure the instance details, such as instance type, network settings, and IAM role. Select the IAM user created earlier.

  • Add storage, tags, and configure security groups to allow SSH and HTTP(S) traffic.

  • Review and launch the instance. Use the IAM user's access key and secret key to authenticate. πŸš€

  1. Installing Jenkins and Docker with a Shell Script:

    Installation of Jenkins

    • Jenkins requires Java in order to run. There are multiple Java implementations that you can use. OpenJDK is the most popular one.

    • Update the Debian apt repositories, install OpenJDK 17, and check the installation with the below commands:

            sudo apt update
            sudo apt install fontconfig openjdk-17-jre
            java -version
            openjdk version "17.0.8" 2023-07-18
            OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 17.0.8+7-Debian-1deb12u1)
            OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.8+7-Debian-1deb12u1, mixed mode, sharing)
      

      Use the below command to install Jenkins from debian-stable apt repository:

            sudo wget -O /usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc \
              https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable/jenkins.io-2023.key
            echo "deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/jenkins-keyring.asc]" \
              https://pkg.jenkins.io/debian-stable binary/ | sudo tee \
              /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jenkins.list > /dev/null
            sudo apt-get update
            sudo apt-get install jenkins
      

      Enter the below code to launch Docker

        sudo apt-get update
        sudo apt install docker.io
      

      Use the below command to check Jenkins and Docker is installed or not -

        -version
        docker --version
      

      Jenkins and Docker is installed successfully in the machine through IAM User.

Task 2️⃣: Building the DevOps Team of Avengers

  1. Creating IAM Users for Avengers:

    • Follow the same steps as Task 1 to create three IAM users with unique usernames (e.g., ironman, thor, captainamerica).

    • Assign these users to appropriate IAM groups (e.g., DevOps) with custom IAM policies granting necessary permissions for DevOps tasks. πŸ‘₯

  1. Assigning IAM Policies to DevOps Groups:

    • Navigate to IAM and select "Groups".πŸ›‘οΈ

    • Create a new group named "DevOps" and attach policies like "AmazonEC2FullAccess", "AmazonS3FullAccess", and "AmazonRDSFullAccess".

Feel free to adjust the steps according to your preferences and requirements. πŸŒŸπŸš€Happy Learning! πŸ“šβœ¨ #AWS #DevOps #LearningJourney #CloudComputing β˜πŸ”§
