aws journey

Starting to sails toward AWS with Rails.

EB

• Install EB CLI
• Configure application with eb init
• Deploy with eb deploy

RDS

Setting up an RDS from an ELB: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/quickstarts/latest/webapp/expanding-environments.html?icmpid=docs_eb_console_new#expanding-environments-rds

Setting up an RDS independently: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/CHAP_GettingStarted.CreatingConnecting.PostgreSQL.html

Add temporary environment variable in PowerShell https://serverfault.com/questions/349585/how-do-i-set-an-environmental-variable-from-a-powershell-command

Then run db:migrate from local powershell to update production database

Do not forget to grant access to your RDS from EB / EC2!

EC2

• Main tuto
• Convert OpenSSH private key to Putty private key

CircleCI

1. Create a CircleCI user in AWS IAM
2. Copy keys (access key and secret access key) into repository settings in CircleCI
3. Use eb deploy {app name}

• Ensure that apt-get are automatic with -y
• Ensure that elasticbeanstalk profiles are in the repository:

  ERROR: This directory has not been set up with the EB CLI
  You must first run "eb init".
  Exited with code 126
