Provision

What Will You Do

In this part of the self-paced exercise, you will create and destroy an AWS environment using Environment Manager.

Multiple user personas can manage an environment's lifecycle. End users of the environment, with the Environment Template User role associated to their controller account can manage environments in projects to which they have access to.

For this section of the exercise, you can optionally create a second user with the Environment Template User role to mimic the end user persona. This user can be used to create and destroy environments. Either use your existing Admin account or newly created End User account to perform the remainder of this guide depending on the user persona you would like to experience.

Step 1: Publish Environment

In this step, you will use Environment Manager to publish an environment.

  • Navigate to Environments -> Environments
  • Click on the existing environment name

Publish Environment

  • Click Publish

Publish Environment

The environment will begin to publish.

Publish Environment

After a couple of minutes, the environment will be published.

Publish Environment

  • Click Return

Publish Environment

Step 2: View Environment Resources

In this step, you will view the resources in AWS that were created for the environment.

  • Navigate to your AWS account
  • Search for EKS and go to the elastic container service
  • Search for em-gs and click on the cluster name

You will see the EKS cluster that was created.

AWS Environment

  • Search for VPC and go to the VPC service
  • Click on VPCs
  • Search for em-gs
  • Click on the VPC ID

You will see the VPC that was created.

AWS Environment

Step 3: Deprovision Environment

In this step, you will use Environment Manger to deprovision the environment and it's resources.

  • Navigate to Environments -> Environments
  • Click on the existing environment name

Destroy Environment

  • Click Destroy
  • Click Yes when prompted to confirm the deletion

Destroy Environment

The environment will begin to be deprovisioned.

Destroy Environment

After a couple of minutes, the environment and it's associated resources will be destroyed.

Destroy Environment

  • Click Return

Destroy Environment

Optionally, you can log into AWS and view that the resources have been removed from the AWS account.

Recap

Congratulations! At this point, you have successfully provisioned and deprovisioned an AWS environment consisting of an EKS cluster and a VPC using Environment Manager.
