This app allows you to launch bitnami instances with your AWS account.
You need to provide your AWS key and access key.
You can set up a bash variable or use .env
echo AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxx >> .env
echo AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=xxx >> .env
- Wordpress
You need to create a new Wordpress instance.
require 'bitnami'
w = Bitnami::Wordpress.new
You can create a new Ec2 instance
w.create
And check the status
w.status
w.status.system_status
w.status.instance_status
w.status.state_name
w.status.state_code
state_name could be "initiating-request", "pending-acceptance", "active", "deleted", "rejected", "failed", "expired", "provisioning", "deleting"
system_status and instance_status are part of amazon status monitoring
You can browse the status of an existing instance
require 'bitnami'
w = Bitnami::Wordpress.new('instance_id')
w.status
You can launch a sidekiq worker to track the status of the instance
require 'bitnami'
w = Bitnami::Wordpress.new
w.create
w.follow_status
The WordpressStatusWorker should check every 5 seconds.
I use pry to run an interactive ruby console
pry -r bitnami -I lib/
Sidekiq is designed to run with Rails. But you can make it run with ruby:
bundle exec sidekiq -r ./worker.rb
Based on my research this is the time each AWS request takes from a t1.mcrio instance
- create_instance ~ 1 second
- describe_instance ~ 0.6 seconds, sometimes 0.3 seconds
Usually, an instance takes around 8 minutes to initialize
