YouTube Burst Terraform

This repository contains the code necessary to create infrastructure in AWS for running Alexander Liu's youtube-burst. This README assumes that you have an existing AWS account to work with, with root credentials.

Requirements

• AWS CLI
• Terraform
• S3 Upload credentials
• An RDP Client

Environment Configuration

• Run terraform init at the root of this directory to prep terraform and download the requisite modules.

Running the Code

• Run terraform apply to create infrastructure in AWS.
  • This will take anywhere between 2 and 30 minutes, depending on if a new AMI needs to be generated.
• Run terraform output --json, and record the controller IP and default RDP password.
• Connect to the controller host as ec2-user via RDP, using the supplied password.
• Run kickoff-runs.sh, located on the desktop of the controller host
• When the run(s) are complete on the controller host, run terraform destroy locally to spin down AWS infrastructure.
