# Pre requisite to Deploy Application Cloud 9 Deprecation

> Provisioning an EC2-based development environment to deploy a pet adoption website using AWS CDK while addressing Cloud9 deprecation.

In this lesson, you’ll provision an EC2-based development environment with all the tools required to deploy our pet adoption website using the AWS Cloud Development Kit (CDK). We’ll cover:

1. Manual setup of an EC2 instance
2. Automating that setup with a CloudFormation template
3. Alternatives to the deprecated AWS Cloud9 environment

## 1. Create the IAM Role

First, create an IAM role named **FIS-workshop-admin** with the following managed policies:

| Policy Name                  | Purpose                                     |
| ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------- |
| AmazonEC2FullAccess          | Full control of EC2 resources               |
| AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore | Systems Manager Session Manager permissions |

<Callout icon="triangle-alert" color="#FF6B6B">
  The role name **must** be exactly `FIS-workshop-admin`. All subsequent CDK and CloudFormation scripts expect this exact name.
</Callout>

## 2. Launch and Configure the EC2 Instance

When launching your EC2 instance:

1. Attach the **FIS-workshop-admin** IAM role
2. Choose an instance type (e.g., `t3.medium`)
3. Select your VPC and subnets
4. Enable SSH access **or** plan to use AWS Systems Manager Session Manager

## 3. Connect & Prepare Your Environment

Once your instance is up:

```bash theme={null}
# Update the OS
sudo yum update -y

# Install Git
sudo yum install -y git
```

Clone the workshop repository and bootstrap the environment:

```bash theme={null}
git clone https://github.com/aws-samples/fis-workshop-experiments.git
cd fis-workshop-experiments

# Install Docker, kubectl, Node.js, AWS CDK, and other dependencies
bash bootstrap.sh
```

This script installs:

* Docker Engine
* Kubernetes CLI tools (`kubectl`, `eksctl`)
* Node.js and npm
* AWS CDK Toolkit (`npm install -g aws-cdk`)

## 4. Automate with CloudFormation (Optional)

Skip steps 1–2 by deploying our CloudFormation template. It creates both the IAM role and EC2 instance in one stack:

```bash theme={null}
aws cloudformation deploy \
  --template-file infrastructure/dev-environment.yaml \
  --stack-name fis-workshop-dev \
  --capabilities CAPABILITY_NAMED_IAM
```

## Cloud9 Deprecation & Alternative IDEs

AWS no longer provides preconfigured Cloud9 environments for new accounts as of July 2024. You can continue with your custom Cloud9 IDE, or choose one of these alternatives:

* [AWS Toolkit for VS Code](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/toolkit-for-vscode/latest/userguide/welcome.html)
* [AWS Toolkit for JetBrains IDEs](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/toolkit-for-jetbrains/latest/userguide/welcome.html)
* [AWS CloudShell](https://aws.amazon.com/cloudshell/)
