This script can be used to create a complete stack for lab exercises for each participant in a class. In order to use it you will need to sign up and install the tools for CloudFormation and SES.
The lab stack is created based on a CloudFormation template which is
stored in infra_lab.template. The lab_stack.sh script however is
fairly coupled with this template at the moment.
In order to simplify the class for the participants lab_stack.sh will
create and upload a hosts file to each of the created machine so they
can refer to one another with friendly names like web.part1.com. The
email sent to the participants will also contain a section that can be
pasted into their /etc/hosts.
Run the following to see the proper ways to use lab_stack.sh
./lab_stack.sh -h
In order to run the lab-stack, you will need to follow the instructions here to setup AWS and your machine.
