Configure AWS
Configure AWS so Jets can connect to it. The recommended way is to:
- set up the
~/.aws/configand~/.aws/credentialsfiles - set up your
AWS_PROFILEandAWS_REGIONenvironment variables
Example
~/.aws/config
[profile dev]
output = json
region = us-west-2
~/.aws/credentials
[dev]
aws_access_key_id = REPLACE_ME
aws_secret_access_key = REPLACE_ME
In your ~/.bashrc or ~/.profile, use this line to set the AWS_PROFILE and AWS_REGION environment variables:
export AWS_PROFILE=dev
export AWS_REGION=`aws configure get region` # to match what's in ~/.aws/config
Note, you do not have to AWS_REGION. However, the environment variable AWS_REGION will take higher precedence than the region ~/.aws/config. You probably want them to match in general.
Interesting Note: If you want to deploy your Jets app to a different region, simply change the AWS_REGION and jets deploy again. That’s it. Since Jets codifies your infrastructure code, it makes going multi-regional much easier.
Test AWS Setup
Here are some useful commands to test that the AWS CLI is working:
aws sts get-caller-identity
aws s3 ls
Resources
Next, we’ll deploy the project.
