AWS console managing via AWS CLI

Welcome you guys in my article based on AWS CLI.

Task Description:

🔅 Create a key pair 

🔅 Create a security group 

🔅 Launch an instance using the above created key pair and security group.

🔅 Create an EBS volume of 1 GB.

🔅 The final step is to attach the above created EBS volume to the instance you created in the previous steps.

Process of completion:

1. Install AWS CLI:

I have installed AWS CLI. To check whether it is installed or not use the following command:

aws --version

Here, I have successfully installed AWS CLI. Now we can use it to do the things automatically in AWS management console.

2. Configure AWS profile:

To configure the AWS profile for the first time we have to use following command-

aws configure [--profile profile-name] 

Here, I have used already configured profile.

3. Create a key pair:

aws ec2 create-key-pair --key-name awscsatask

Description of key pair:

Now, we can see our key pair is created.

4. Create a security group:

aws ec2 create-security-group --description "sg_aws_task" --group-name awstasksg --vpc-id vpc-03ad93c5504a4e790

Description of Security Group:

Here, desired security group is created.

5. Launch an instance using the above created key pair and security group:

aws ec2 run-instances --image-id ami03ab428f950fdc05a --security-group-ids sg-0fd8169e1f76f18d9 --instance-type t2.micro --count 1 --key-name awscsatask

Description of ec2 instance:

Instance is successfully created.

6. Create an EBS volume of 1 GB:

aws ec2 create-volume --availability-zone ap-south-1a --volume-type gp2 --size 1

You can see here volume is created with desired size.

7. Attach the above created EBS volume to the instance created in the previous step:

aws ec2 attach-volume --volume-id vol-04b297fe77490f54bd --instance-id i-033246ae49595f43c --device /dev/xvdh

Here, our created EBS volume is successfully attached to the instance.

Now, we can detach this volume by using-

aws ec2 detach-volume volume-id vol-04b297fe77490f54bd

To stop or terminate the launched instance we have commands-

aws ec2 stop-instance --instance-ids i-033246ae49595f43c

aws ec2 terminate-instance --instance-ids i-033246ae49595f43c

And here I am done with my task.

Thank you all for your time!!!
