Packer code to build an AWS AMI with Minikube for workshops on how to monitor Kubernetes and containerized applications with the Elastic.
The workshop will be hosted on Strigo.
Note: You need Packer v1.9.2+ to build this image
To build an AWS AMI for Strigo, use Packer. Using the Ansible Local Provisioner you only need to have Packer installed locally (no Ansible). Build the AMI with packer build packer.json and set up the training class on Strigo with the generated AMI and the user ubuntu.
If things are failing for some reason: Run packer build -debug packer.json, which will keep the instance running and save the SSH key in the current directory. Connect to it with ssh -i ec2_amazon-ebs.pem ubuntu@ec2-X-X-X-X.eu-central-1.compute.amazonaws.com; open ports as needed in the AWS Console since the instance will only open TCP/22 by default.
The base image is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, amd64 focal image and is configured using the configure.yml Ansible script.
The AMI image is shared by default with the Strigo account as specified by their documentation.
