How To Use BootStrap Scripts in AWS EC2 Instance during Launch - Running commands on your Linux instance at launch | How to Run commands on your Linux instance at launch

What is bootstrap script in aws?

if you want to execute some commands during boot up(also launch), you can execute it easily by mentioning during step 3 of EC2 launch. Bootstrap scripts run only once - when the instance is instantiated for the 1st time.

Please follow the below steps to create an EC2 instance.  We will be installing Java, Maven, Jenkins and Apache during boot up.

Steps to add bootstrap script during EC2 launch

1: Go to AWS console. click on All services, Click on Compute -->  Click on EC2

2. Click on Launch instance. Choose an Amazon machine image (AMI), click next

3. select Ubuntu Server 18.04 LTS (HVM), SSD Volume Type

click next
4. choose an instance type as t2.small, 2GB memory. click next

5. in step 3, go down, under advanced details.  Copy the script from this link.

6. Now continue like how you provision EC2 instance.
7. once you provision, you will be able to see Java, Maven and Jenkins installed in EC2 instance after launch.

Check the Logs in EC2 instance

Login to EC2 instance, and type the below command:

tail -f /var/log/cloud-init-output.log

This will give the output of bootstrap execution

Verify if Java got installed.

java -version
mvn --version

Go to the browser and try to access Jenkins in the browser, Jenkins should be coming up.(make sure you open port 8080 in the firewall rules)

Java, Maven and Jenkins should be installed successfully.

Automate Docker builds using Jenkins - Dockerize PHP App | Containerize PHP App | Build Docker images using Jenkins

We will learn how to automate Docker builds using Jenkins. We will use PHP based application. I have already created a repo with source code + Dockerfile. The repo also have Jenkinsfile for automating the following:

- Automating builds
- Automating Docker image creation
- Automating Docker image upload
- Automating Docker container provisioning

Pre-requistes:
1. Jenkins is up and running
2. Docker installed on Jenkins instance
3. Docker plug-in installed in Jenkins

         script {
            dockerImage.run("-p 8086:80 --rm --name myPhpContainer")
         }
      }
    }
  }
}

Microservices Introduction

https://www.cidevops.com/2017/01/what-is-microservices-all-about-best.html

Containerization is increasingly popular because containers are:

• Flexible: Even the most complex applications can be containerized.
• Lightweight: Containers leverage and share the host kernel.
• Interchangeable: You can deploy updates and upgrades on-the-fly.
• Portable: You can build locally, deploy to the cloud, and run anywhere.
• Scalable: You can increase and automatically distribute container replicas.
• Stackable: You can stack services vertically and on-the-fly.
