- Create the S3 Bucket

Let’s start by creating a new S3 bucket.

To make sure you’re on the Cloud9 instance and not the cluster we created earlier, run:

if [ -d /etc/parallelcluster/ ]; then exit; fi

  1. As for the previous lab, in the AWS Management Console search bar, type and select Cloud9.

  2. Choose open IDE for the Cloud9 instance set up previously. It may take a few moments for the IDE to open. AWS Cloud9 stops and restarts the instance so that you do not pay compute charges when no longer using the Cloud9 IDE.

  3. If you have a terminal readily available on your Cloud9 IDE, use it. Otherwise, click on the menu Window in Cloud9’s top bar then select New Terminal

  4. Create an Amazon S3 bucket to store the input/output data from jobs and save the AWS Systems Manager (SSM) execution commands.

    # generate a unique postfix
export BUCKET_POSTFIX=$(uuidgen --random | cut -d'-' -f1)
echo "Your bucket name will be serverless-${BUCKET_POSTFIX}"
aws s3 mb s3://serverless-${BUCKET_POSTFIX}

Please keep track of your S3 bucket name as you will use it later.
