Requirements List

Before starting this workshop, make sure you have the following:

• AWS account with Administrator privileges
• AWS CLI installed and configured
• Docker Desktop installed and running
• Git installed
• Text editor (VS Code recommended)
• Basic understanding of containers and AWS services

Important: This workshop will create AWS resources that may incur charges.
Estimated cost: $5-10 USD for the entire workshop.
Remember to clean up resources after completion!

Set up AWS Account

AWS Account Requirements

You need an AWS account with the following:

• A valid credit card attached for billing
• Verified phone number
• Administrator access or equivalent permissions

Cost Estimation

Create IAM User

Instead of using the root account, create a dedicated IAM user for this workshop.

1. Log in to AWS Console → IAM

2. Users → Create user

3. User details:

   • User name: fargate-workshop-user
   • Provide user access to AWS Management Console

4. Set permissions:

   • Attach policies directly
   • Search and select: AdministratorAccess

5. Review and create

6. Download credentials or copy Access Key ID and Secret Access Key

Install AWS CLI

1. Download AWS CLI MSI installer: https://awscli.amazonaws.com/AWSCLIV2.msi
2. Run the MSI file and follow the installation instructions
3. Open a new Command Prompt and verify: aws --version
   Expected result: aws-cli/2.15.30 Python/3.11.8 Windows/10 exe/AMD64 prompt/off
4. Verify installation: aws –version

Configure AWS CLI

1. aws configure

AWS Access Key ID [None]: AKIA… AWS Secret Access Key [None]: wJalrXUt… Default region name [None]: us-east-1 Default output format [None]: json Verify your AWS CLI configuration

2. Check your identity: aws sts get-caller-identity

3. Check permissions: aws s3 ls

4. Check configured region: aws configure get region Expected aws sts get-caller-identity output:

{ “UserId”: “AIDACKCEVSQ6C2EXAMPLE”, “Account”: “123456789012”, “Arn”: “arn:aws:iam::123456789012:user/fargate-workshop-user” }

Install Docker Desktop

1. Download Docker Desktop: https://desktop.docker.com/win/main/amd64/Docker%20Desktop%20Installer.exe

2. Run the installer and follow setup instructions

3. Restart your computer after installation

4. Launch Docker Desktop from Start Menu

5. Verify installation:

docker –version docker run hello-world

Verify Docker is Working

1. Check Docker version: docker –version

2. Test Docker with hello-world: docker run hello-world

3. Check Docker Compose: docker compose version Expected hello-world output: Hello from Docker!

This message shows that your installation appears to be working correctly.

To generate this message, Docker took the following steps:

1. The Docker client contacted the Docker daemon.
2. The Docker daemon pulled the “hello-world” image from the Docker Hub.
3. The Docker daemon created a new container from that image which runs the executable that produces the output you are currently reading.
4. The Docker daemon streamed that output to the Docker client, which sent it to your terminal.

Install Git

1. Download Git: https://git-scm.com/download/win Run the installer with default settings

2. Verify installation: git –version Basic Git configuration: git config –global user.name “Your Name” git config –global user.email “email@example.com”

3. Check your configuration: git config –list

Set up Code Editor

1. VS Code (Recommended): https://code.visualstudio.com/

2. Install useful extensions:

AWS Toolkit – AWS services integration

Docker – Manage Docker containers

YAML – Syntax highlighting for YAML

JSON – JSON formatting

GitLens – Advanced Git features

Python – Python support

Go – Go language support

3. Verify Installation Run the following commands to make sure everything is set up correctly:

• AWS CLI: aws –version aws sts get-caller-identity

• Docker: docker –version docker run hello-world

• Git: git –version

• Check AWS region: aws configure get region

If all the above commands run successfully, you are ready for the workshop!
