python-application-using-AWS-CloudShell

Creating a Python Application or project using AWS Cloud Development Kit commands from a browser-based Linux Terminal

The image of the final project is shown below:

Let's create the project scaffold :

• Create a GitHub Account and Log In to the created GitHub Account where your projects will be published (This will be your Portfolio).

• Create a new GitHub repository which will be used for this project with a 'README' file and a '.gitignore' file with a Python gitignore template.

• Edit the 'ReadMe' file to document achieved milestones.

• Create a new AWS Account or Log In to your created AWS Management Console.

  • We will be using Amazon Web Services through this project and launch your AWS CloudShell environment known as a browser-based Linux Terminal.

• Create development environment that is cloud-based such as :

  AWS CloudShell

  - To see the list of tools available in your AWS Account by Default;  type the following command :
  
    $ ls /usr/local/bin -la 
  
  RQ : You will see the AWS Command Line Interface " AWS CLI V2 " 
  
     -> There is the Elastic Beanstalk Command Line Interface " eb "
     -> There is the Elastic Container Command Line Interface " ecs-cli "
     -> There is Flask 
     -> There is the Serverless Application Manager " sam "
  
    NB: If the tool you need is not part of the default list, you can even install your own.
  

• Let's install the AWS Cloud Development kit " AWS CDK " from your AWS CloudShell :

  • Let's work with AWS CDK in Python or you can chooose your development language:

    $ sudo npm install -g aws-cdk

  • Let's create a directory called " AWS_CloudShell_Project_1 " :

    $ mkdir AWS_CloudShell_Project_1

    $ cd AWS_CloudShell_Project_1

  • Let's create a AWS CDK Application by invoking " cdk init " in the created empty directory :

    $ cdk init --language python

  • Let's view all the generated files related to this AWS CDK Python Project :

    $ ls

NB: Congratulations 🧑‍💻 👩‍💻, you've created an AWS Python CDK project using AWS CDK command in your AWS CloudShell Environment.
