EC2 User Data examples

Basic Windows local user with Administrator and RDP access

Add a local rdp user via user data at launch of a Windows EC2 instance. Note that this includes a password passed in thru both the user data and powershell command line and is a bad security practice because they can be viewed later. At a minimum, you should connect to the instance immediately after launch and change the password interactively. Also, delete the userdata from the instance after launch. More secure would be to connect the instance to a domain for authentication or use AWS native tooling to connect to the instance (e.g., AWS Session Manager).

<powershell>
# Be sure to set the username and password on these two lines. Of course this is not a good
# security practice to include a password at command line.

Revert the full commit

Sometimes you may want to undo a whole commit with all changes. Instead of going through all the changes manually, you can simply tell git to revert a commit, which does not even have to be the last one. Reverting a commit means to create a new commit that undoes all changes that were made in the bad commit. Just like above, the bad commit remains there, but it no longer affects the the current master and any future commits on top of it.

git revert {commit_id}

About History Rewriting

Delete the last commit

Deleting the last commit is the easiest case. Let's say we have a remote origin with branch master that currently points to commit dd61ab32. We want to remove the top commit. Translated to git terminology, we want to force the master branch of the origin remote repository to the parent of dd61ab32:
