Modern Web App - Accelerated Hands on Workshop

What are we doing:

In this tutorial we build the first set of components of the modern web app. To accelerate our application launching we are going to put a lot of material from https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-modern-application-workshop/tree/python into cloudformation.

As you arrive:

1. Get on the wireless network.
2. Get a good text editor. Your options are Notepad++, Visual Studio Code - basically anything you know how to use that can compare two text files side by side.
3. Find Adrian and ask him to send you the $50 voucher code

Step one - get all the prerequisites

1. Log in to your AWS Account

2. Choose the region Ohio - Us-east-2. THIS IS IMPORTANT. The entire demo is only in this region. Do not use any other regions.

3. Go to Services, EC2, click "Key Pairs", Create a key pair called mysfits. This is case sensitive. If you created Mysfits, MYSFITS - you will not deploy and things will start failing. If you have misspelt it - just create a new one.

4. Once you have your voucher - apply it as per instructions in the email.
