Automate AWS EC2 with Python | DevOps Coding Challenge

In this video, I'll give you a fun, hypothetical coding task to complete from your Team Lead.

This will be a fun exercise for those:
1. Learning Python and AWS
2. Are new to, or learning, DevOps
3. Looking for practice Python/AWS automation examples

I'll give you the scenario, give an overview of the architecture, and then you can either try it out yourself, or you can follow along with me as I build out the solution.

Let me know if you'd like to see more videos like this.

Hey there Travis! I found your YouTube Channel when I was looking for K8s tutorials. Found your recommendation on that Udemy course. I have been so preoccupied with it (and pleased of course) that I had to ensure I came back to give you thanks. Also, this was a great video. Please continue a series of "Challenges" that would be beneficial to real world Devops challenges. This content is great. Thank you again!

Thank you Travis! This is great for me to kick start my devops learning journey.

Super!! I find that your tutorial easy to follow. Wonder if you can do a similar tutorial to check if instances are running at off working hours base on the local time and stop them. Thanks again Travis!

That’s a simple but very useful video to start your lambda functions and EventBridge trigger. Thanks Travis!! This is the most underrated channel for learning AWS automation!! 😅😅

[harsh]

This was excellent Travis!! Waiting for more new AWS Python challenges like these!!

[kazishahria]

Thank you so much! I learned something new.

[ReivsonLopes]

You always have the best explanations how to do the things don!!

Highly recommend deploying instances with terraform that way you can just use terraform destroy to clean up all your created resources after you are done.

Hi Travis, an thank you for the endless stream of tips and tricks you're sharing with us. May I ask you an off-topic question? Are your "5 Steps to Become a Freelance Web Developer in 2019" valid to this day? Do you think ai will make web developers useless?
Thank you again for your attention, have a good day.

Hi Travis, I just found your videos and your Chanel. A lot of good videos 👍👍🤝. Thanks for all these videos.
Please I have a question on this one.
Is there a way that we can do this such as if the instance is stopped it will trigger lambda to start?
Also if we decide to stop the instance ourself, how will we to to avoid lamdba to start the instance?
Thank you again.

Hi Travis great video, I am trying to automate the proccess of downloding CSV files from AWS Billing and uploading them to S3 using python and lambda. The first part is where I am struggling. If you know how this can be done I would appreciate your help a lot. Thanks for all the great videos.
