Using LinuxKit on Amazon Web Services (AWS)
This is a quick guide to run LinuxKit on AWS.
Setup
Before you proceed it's recommended that you set up the AWS CLI
and perform an aws configure
If you do not wish to install these tools you should ensure that you set the AWS environment variables
You will need to create an Amazon S3 Storage Bucket for your LinuxKit images and create a VM Import Service Role. Instructions on how to do this can be found here.
Finally, you must set the AWS_REGION environment variable as this is used by the AWS Go SDK.
export AWS_REGION=eu-west-1
## Build an image
AWS requires a RAW image. To create one:
$ moby build -output img examples/aws.yml
Push image
Do linuxkit push aws -bucket bucketname aws.img to upload it to the
specified bucket, and create a bootable image from the stored image.
Alternatively, you can use the AWS_BUCKET environment variable to specify the bucket name.
Create an instance and connect to it
With the image created, we can now create an instance. You won't be able to see the serial console output until after it has terminated.
linuxkit run aws aws
You can edit the AWS example to allow you to SSH to your instance in order to use it.
