How to Provision AWS resources
Ways to interact with AWS services :
- AWS Management Console : is a web-based interface for accessing and managing AWS services. Company can quickly access recently used services and search for other services by name, keyword, or acronym. The console includes wizards and automated workflows that can simplify the process of completing tasks.
Company can also use the AWS Console mobile application to perform tasks such as monitoring resources, viewing alarms, and accessing billing information. Multiple identities can stay logged into the AWS Console mobile app at the same time
- AWS Command-Line Interface : to save time when making API requests, company can use the AWS Command Line Interface (AWS CLI). AWS CLI enables to control multiple AWS services directly from the command line within one tool. AWS CLI is available for users on Windows, macOS, and Linux.
By using AWS CLI, company can automate the actions that services and applications perform through scripts. For example, company can use commands to launch an Amazon EC2 instance, connect an Amazon EC2 instance to a specific Auto Scaling group, and more
- Software Development Kits : make it easier to use AWS services through an API designed for company’s programming language or platform. SDKs enable to use AWS services with existing applications or create entirely new applications that will run on AWS. To help in getting started with using SDKs, AWS provides documentation and sample code for each supported programming language. Supported programming languages include C++, Java, .NET, and more
AWS Elastic Beanstalk
With AWS Elastic Beanstalk, company provides code and configuration settings, and Elastic Beanstalk deploys the resources necessary to perform the following tasks:
- Adjust capacity
- Load balancing
- Automatic scaling
- Application health monitoring
AWS CloudFormation
With AWS CloudFormation, company can treat its infrastructure as code. This means that company can build an environment by writing lines of code instead of using the AWS Management Console to individually provision resources.
AWS CloudFormation provisions company’s resources in a safe, repeatable manner, enabling to frequently build an infrastructure and applications without having to perform manual actions. It determines the right operations to perform when managing the stack and rolls back changes automatically if it detects errors
