Getting started with EC2
The following images are quite suitable as base images
- amazon/amzn-ami-pv-2013.09.0.i386-ebs
- amazon/amzn-ami-pv-2013.09.0.x86_64-ebs
Note the above images require that you use ec2-user for SSH access.
Instance type recommendations
- Normal systems: small or medium
- Test or development: micro
Storage options
Two scenarios exist
- Simple setup data and application in one
- Confidential data in an separate encrypted storage
For a separate storage you should do the following
- Create a new EBS partition
- Mount to suitable point
- Encrypt and login using LUKS
Note that LUKS partitions may contain multiple passwords, and do not need to be at rest when copy/backup operations are active.
Stuff to do in Amazon linux
After booting images
- Set your timezone
- Enable routing: Port 80 to 8080
- Activate SMTP service [option]
- Install MySQL
- Install Tomcat
- Deploy connection pool drivers
- Deploy MySQL JDBC driver
After that just follow the normal install procedure for webapplications
- Deploy the war file
- Set up connection pool for the application
Maintaining the solution
Tips for maintaing you solution
- Consider instance termination protection
- Backup: Can be taken as EBS snapshots
- Monitor: Activate CloudWatch for the instance
Increasing storage on running instance
Note that the following operation can be done while the server is running
In the AWS console
- Rightclick the volume and select "Modify volume"
- Update "Size" and press "Modify"
From the econsole run
lsblk
Check that the partitions match "nvme0n1" and "nvme0n1p1" and grow the partition and update the file system
sudo growpart /dev/nvme0n1 1
sudo resize2fs /dev/nvme0n1p1
In case you are using an XFS filesystem a result will occur complaing about a bad superblock. Then you need to grow the root partition using:
sudo xfs_growfs -d /
Finally check size is incresed with
df -h
Variant: Main volume
In case you are using the main volume, instead try
sudo growpart /dev/xvda 1
sudo resize2fs /dev/xvda1
Variant: LUKS volume
Find the crypt partition
ls /dev/mapper/
Fill the space (in above we found crypt-sdf)
sudo cryptsetup resize /dev/mapper/crypt-sdf
sudo resize2fs /dev/mapper/crypt-sdf
