Setup Notes II

Suggestion summary

Maintain in one place in Setup Notes I

SAM CLI

This is mentioned as an "external dependency" but we're not explicitly told this needs to be set up.

I'd suggest a simple test that we could run at this point to verify that our CLI environment is working which would verify that our setup is complete.

Based on reading ahead a small amount (but not so much that I spoil my "first read-through" experience) it seems clear that we were expected to set up AWS and the AWS Serverless Application Model CLI client at this point.

This has its own set of reasonably complex prerequisites for setting up access into AWS itself.

Prerequisites: Start from zero

I'm going to start from scratch to simulate the beginner experience.

  • Step 1: Sign up for an AWS account
  • Step 2: Create an IAM user account
  • Step 3: Create an access key ID and secret access key
  • Step 4: Install the AWS CLI
  • Step 5: Use the AWS CLI to configure AWS credentials

(done previously) Sign up for an AWS account

Disable IAM Identity Center

Doesn't seem to be a way?

Burn it all down

Well, when we can't fix something, we can at least start over.

Time invested so far: 3.75 hours.
