The bottom line is you should almost always use EBS backed instances. Here’s why EBS backed instances can be set so that they cannot be (accidentally) terminated through the API. EBS backed instances can be stopped when you’re not using them and resumed when you need them again (like pausing a Virtual PC), at least … Read more
First off, EC2 and Elastic Compute Cloud are the same thing. Next, AWS encompasses the range of Web Services that includes EC2 and Elastic Beanstalk. It also includes many others such as S3, RDS, DynamoDB, and all the others. EC2 EC2 is Amazon’s service that allows you to create a server (AWS calls these instances) … Read more
I found a way using the aws-sdk. var aws = require(‘aws-sdk’); var lambda = new aws.Lambda({ region: ‘us-west-2’ //change to your region }); lambda.invoke({ FunctionName: ‘name_of_your_lambda_function’, Payload: JSON.stringify(event, null, 2) // pass params }, function(error, data) { if (error) { context.done(‘error’, error); } if(data.Payload){ context.succeed(data.Payload) } }); You can find the doc here: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSJavaScriptSDK/latest/AWS/Lambda.html
See the EC2 documentation on the subject. Run: wget -q -O – http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id If you need programmatic access to the instance ID from within a script, die() { status=$1; shift; echo “FATAL: $*”; exit $status; } EC2_INSTANCE_ID=”`wget -q -O – http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id || die \”wget instance-id has failed: $?\”`” Here is an example of a more … Read more
As of September 2017, you no longer have to configure mappings to access the request body. All you need to do is check, “Use Lambda Proxy integration”, under Integration Request, under the resource. You’ll then be able to access query parameters, path parameters and headers like so event[‘pathParameters’][‘param1’] event[“queryStringParameters”][‘queryparam1’] event[‘requestContext’][‘identity’][‘userAgent’] event[‘requestContext’][‘identity’][‘sourceIP’]
TestingĀ¹ reveals that Lightsail instances in fact are EC2 instances, from the t2 class of burstable instances. EC2, of course, has many more instance families and classes other than the t2, almost all of which are more “powerful” (or better equipped for certain tasks) than these, but also much more expensive. But for meaningful comparisons, … Read more
I figured it out. I had the arguments in the wrong order. This works: scp -i mykey.pem somefile.txt root@my.ec2.id.amazonaws.com:/
SNS is a distributed publish-subscribe system. Messages are pushed to subscribers as and when they are sent by publishers to SNS. SQS is distributed queuing system.
