Your instructor will upload a file to AWS S3 that has the IP address and unique SSH key for your EC2 server and personal SecureCI instance. To access your environment, first download your assets file:

https://microservicehandson.s3.amazonaws.com/firstlast # change to your first + last name

Make sure you replace "firstlast" with your first and last name.

This will produce a file similar to this:

IP: 3.126.32.98
-----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
MIIEowIBAAKCAQEAnaGb3JkSxlNqu/YRmiqqYrq7xrzf27tk0dArr0Q1bp+geDus
...
qwA50f2Y2rT2Fj549oWwd+DW+kPseRcy55rK0J1lAwxfYv/LM2j0
-----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

Connect to your environment

Copy the RSA key lines (including the BEGIN and END lines) sections to a SSH key file.

For Linux/Mac SSH:

  • Create a file "myname.pem" with the contents

  • Use chmod 600 myname.pem to properly set permissions and allow SSH to use it

  • SSH to your server:

    $ ssh -i myname.pem [email protected] # your IP number

For Putty

See https://devops.ionos.com/tutorials/use-ssh-keys-with-putty-on-windows for directions with the "Use Existing Public And Private Keys" section and "Connect to Server with Private Key" section.

Basic steps:

  • Import the RSA key text using "PuTTYgen" to build a PPK file
  • Select the PPK key in "auth" panel when setting up your connection to server
    • Hostname: 3.126.32.98
    • Username: ubuntu
    • Key: the PPK key you created

Configure your environment

(might have to run commands as sudo)

$ sudo bash
# kubectl get pods 

NAME                                           READY   STATUS              RESTARTS   AGE
jenkins-demo-b4969bc7-8jcw5                    0/1     Init:0/1            0          23s
jenkins-demo-postgresql-0                      0/1     Init:0/1            0          2s
jenkins-demo-sonarqube-5c6f66b5c6-d2zxr        0/1     Running             0          23s
jenkins-demo-sonatype-nexus-6d5dd5fc4d-w85pv   0/1     ContainerCreating   0          23s
jenkins-demo-zap-5fc4bdff45-hvsl4              1/1     Running             0          23s

Once everything has 1/1 and Running status, you can visit your Jenkins server:

http://3.126.32.98:32001 # replace with your IP address

Your instructor will provide you with a login name and password.

That's it! You are ready to start building software with SecureCI.
