• Fork the Repository

  • Fork the repository: kubernetesvillage/ecr_eks_security_masterclass_public.

  

  Disclaimer: The labs and repository used in this setup may vary depending on the session. Different environments and configurations are used for various sessions. Always ensure you're working with the correct repository and instructions for your specific session..

  • In the top-right corner, click the Fork button to create a copy of the repository in your GitHub account.

  

• Open the Forked Repository in Codespace

  • Go to your forked version of the repository in your GitHub account.

  

  • Click the Code button, then select the Codespaces tab.

  • Choose New Codespace or Create Codespace on main (or any branch you're working on).

  

• Wait for Initialization

  • The Codespace will initialize, setting up a virtual development environment.

  

  • Once ready, you will be directed to a VSCode-like environment where you can develop and test your project.

  

• Configure Your Environment

  • Ensure all necessary dependencies for the project are installed by following the repository’s setup instructions.
  • Follow Post Codespace Setup: Terminal Commands mentioned below.

    • Once the Codespace setup is complete, perform the following steps from the terminal:

      1. Navigate to the project directory
         Run the command:

      ls
      cd eks/
      

      

      2. Make the pre-deployment script executable
         Use the following command:

      chmod +x pre-deploy.sh
      

      

      3. Run the pre-deployment script
         Execute the pre-deployment script to prepare the environment:

      source pre-deploy.sh
      

      

      These steps will help you prepare the environment and deploy your project as part of the lab setup. This will take upto 10 minutes.

Patience is virtue !

• Setup AWS Credentials

  • Copy the credentials from AWS Console.

  In case there is a csv fro credentials which was downloaded, copy the credentials from the csv. This credentials file must be securely stored.

  • Use the terminal in Codespace to setup aws cli.

  aws configure
  

  

  Enter the access key, secret key, region & output format.

  • Validate the credentials via aws sts get-caller-identity.

  aws sts get-caller-identity
