CloudLabIDE

This repository contains CloudFormation template to quickly set up VSCode (code-server) instances in the us-west-2 region and Cloud9 (deprecated) instances in the us-east-1 region. Both setups are pre-configured with necessary permissions and are ready to be used for cloud security-related workshops or development.

Note: As AWS Cloud9 is deprecated, this script has been created to facilitate labs and learning environments efficiently.

Quick-Launch Links for Cloud9 (us-east-1) and VSCode (us-west-2)

Credit: AWS Eksworkshop

Use the AWS CloudFormation quick-create links below to launch the desired environment in your preferred AWS region.

Region	Cloud9 (Not Recommended)	VSCode
us-east-1	Launch	XX
us-west-2	XX	Launch

• Note: Use VSCode link in us-west-2 for deploying code-server (VSCode IDE).

Setup Instructions

1. Choose your Region: Use the table above to pick your region (e.g., us-east-1 or us-west-2) and launch the CloudFormation stack for Cloud9 (Not Recommended) or VSCode .

2. Monitor the Stack Creation: The stack will take about 10 minutes to complete.

3. Accessing the Environment: Once the stack creation is complete, you can retrieve the Cloud9 or VSCode URL using the following command.

   Replace Cloud9Url with VSCodeUrl for VSCode instance.

   • For cloud9 (Not Recommended)

   aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name securitydojo-eks-workshop --query 'Stacks[0].Outputs[?OutputKey==`Cloud9Url`].OutputValue' --output text --region us-east-1

   • For VSCodeUrl (Recommended)

    aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name securitydojo-eks-workshop --query 'Stacks[0].Outputs[?OutputKey==`IdeUrl`].OutputValue' --output text --region us-west-2

4. Access the cloudformation Outputs.

   • CloudFrontUrl
     • To access the cloudFront url for the VSCode access
   • SecretsManagerUrl
     • Retrieve the secret to access the VSCode IDE.

5. Access the CloudFrontUrl & follow next steps from terraform-eks to deploy eks cluster.

Cleanup

To avoid unnecessary costs, be sure to delete the CloudFormation stacks and any created AWS resources once you're finished.

• To delete the Cloud9 or VSCode instance, run the following command:

  aws cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name securitydojo-eks-workshop

• Follow the cleanup instructions for the EKS resources, either through eksctl or Terraform.
