Using Attune to deploy an Ubuntu AWS EC2 instance with NGINX and ASP.NET Core

This Blueprint is used for deploying an Ubuntu AWS EC2 instance with NGINX and ASP.NET Core installed.

ASP.NET Core is a free and open-source web framework, developed by Microsoft.

NginX, is a web server that can also be used as a reverse proxy, load balancer, mail proxy and HTTP cache.

Pre-Blueprint Attune setup

1. On the Inputs tab, create a Windows Node for the host you wish to run the AWS EC2 shutdown script.
2. On the Inputs tab, create a Windows Credentials to connect to the host you wish to run the AWS EC2 shutdown script.
3. On the Inputs tab, create a Text value to store the values below:
   • AccessKey: This is the AWS IAM User access key (DataType: String).
   • SecretKey: This is the AWS IAM User secret key (DataType: String).
   • HashValue: This holds a hash table containing the Region of the virtual machine and KeyPair (DataType: Hashtable).
   • AWSImageId: This holds the AWS Image Id (DataType: String).
   • AWSInstanceType: This holds the AWS Instance Type (DataType: String).

---

HashValue Syntax:

@{"Region" = "eu-west-2";"KeyPair" = "pemkeyname"}

NOTE: Ensure to edit the value of the parameters AccessKey and SecretKey in Attune to match the AWS IAM User Credential with the privilege to perform this operation.

NOTE: The Region should be edited as well to match the desired region for the EC2 Instance.

NOTE: The KeyPair should be edited as well to match the AWS Key Pair

NOTE: The AWSImageId should be edited as well to match the desired AWS Image ID (Default = ami-0244a5621d426859b)

NOTE: The AWSInstanceType should be edited as well to match the desired AWS Instance Type (Default = t2.micro)
