Register a droplet in AWS OpsWorks

AWS Requirements

  • create a new IAM user and attach the AWS OpsWorks Register Policy
  • for testing: create a new stack on AWS OpsWorks and fetch its ID
  • customize all variables prefixed with YOUR_ from the cloud-config.yml

DigitalOcean

  • start process to create a droplet
  • put in hostname, select the Ubuntu 14.04 image
  • paste the cloud-config.yml into the user-data field
  • confirm and wait for the droplet to appear on OpsWorks

Did it work?

When you log into your droplet the MOTD should look like this:

$ ssh root@public-droplet-ip
