EC2 automation with Amazon EventBridge

In this lab, you will create a custom IAM role and establish trust relationships with EventBridge Service.

In this lab, you will configure EventBridge rules to start and stop EC2 instances on a schedule.

In this lab, you will learn check execution status with Amazon Systems Manager and CloudTrail.

Last but not least, you will clean up AWS resources created for and in this lab.

In this video tutorial, you will learn how to create an AWS Account.

In this video tutorial, you will learn how to protect your AWS account with MFA using Authy.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to create an IAM group, IAM user, attach a policy, and create a password policy.

In this video tutorial, you will learn how to create AWS budgets and budget alerts.

In this tutorial, we will cover the steps to download and install the AWS Command Line Interface, or AWS CLI on Windows. Remember, the AWS CLI provides a powerful interface to manage your AWS resources!

In this tutorial you will download and install the AWS Command Line Interface, or AWS CLI, on MacOS using installer download method.  AWS CLI allows you to interact with various AWS services using command-line commands.

Now that you have successfully installed the AWS CLI, it's time to configure your environment. In this tutorial, we will walk you through the process of setting up the AWS Command Line Interface and demonstrate how to verify your IAM user identity. These initial steps are crucial for effectively managing your AWS resources via the command line. We will also introduce you to some fundamental commands that will empower you to efficiently manage your AWS resources through the AWS CLI.

The AWS CLI is a robust tool that enables users to interact with Amazon Web Services through a text-based interface. One of the most convenient and useful features of the AWS CLI is its TAB completion function, which enhances efficiency and reduces the likelihood of typographical errors when working with AWS services.

Cost Objectives and Prerequisites.

We will set up an Amazon SNS topic named 'CloudWatch-Alarms-Topic' and created a subscription to receive notifications via email. With this setup in place, you'll receive email alerts whenever a CloudWatch alarm is triggered, allowing you to stay informed about the health and performance of your AWS resources.

In this video, we'll be learning how to create an Amazon CloudWatch alarm to monitor the status of an EC2 instance. Specifically, we'll configure an alarm that will detect when the EC2 instance fails and send out a notification via the Amazon SNS topic we set up earlier. This will help us stay informed about any issues with our EC2 instance and take prompt action when necessary.

We will learn how to configure a CloudWatch alarm that automatically reboots an EC2 instance when a system or instance status check fails. We will cover selecting the appropriate metric, setting alarm thresholds, attaching EC2 actions, and ensuring notifications are sent during both alarm and recovery states. We will also simulate a failure by disabling the network interface to trigger the alarm and verify that the instance successfully reboots as expected.
