Pre-Requisite

  • You’ll need to create an AWS account if you don’t have one. If this is a new AWS account, make sure you launch at least one paid instance before running through these steps. To do this you can navigate to the EC2 console, click  Launch Instance, select any OS, pick a c5.4xlarge, and click Review and Launch. After it launches successfully you can terminate the instance through the console. If you can’t launch an instance of this size with your new account, you may need to request a limit increase through the web console for that instance type.
  • In the AWS web console, you’ll need to set up AWS credentials with Administration Access. If you’re not sure how to do that, you can follow this step by step guide. You’ll need the generated AWS Access Key and Secret Key for the next step.
  • On your local computer, install the AWS CLI for your platform and configure it to use the credentials from the previous step. Verify that the CLI credentials are configured properly by running a command like ‘aws s3 ls’ and make sure no errors are returned.
  • On your local computer, using the CLI, generate an SSH key and upload the public key to all regions in AWS as shown below. By default, we’ll name the keypair as rattlesnakeos in the AWS. The public and private SSH key will be dumped to the current directory, make sure to save these to a safe place.
