AWS Well-Architected Labs

Introduction

The Well-Architected framework has been developed to help cloud architects build the most secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient infrastructure possible for their applications. This framework provides a consistent approach for customers and partners to evaluate architectures, and provides guidance to help implement designs that will scale with your application needs over time.

This repository contains documentation and code in the format of hands-on labs to help you learn, measure, and build using architectural best practices. The labs are categorized into levels, where 100 is introductory, 200/300 is intermediate and 400 is advanced.

Deploy notes for Hugo based site

Cloudformation Deployment into Amplify

You can deploy the site using deployment/walabs.yaml file. This file will deploy the site using AWS Amplify.

Post-CloudFormation Deployment

Once the site has been deployed, you must run the first build in the console. To do this, go to Amplify, select the App name, then click on "Run Build". All builds after this point will be continuous based on commits to the master branch.

WA Labs Amplify Configuration Information

Rewrite rules for migration from old mkdocs labs site:

Included in the CloudFormation deployment is a set of re-write rules to facilitate the migration from mkdocs to Hugo. These will automatically redirect to the new path based locations for each lab.

Utilizing existing CloudFront distribution

Because we needed an additional layer in front of the Amplify deployed Hugo site, we had to disable the L2_CACHE in Amplify. This allows for a secondary CloudFront distribution to be placed in front of the Amplify site (which you will use as the Origin for the CloudFront distribution).

CloudFront Distribution

Because we had an existing CloudFront distribution, the creation of setup of this was not included in the CloudFormation deployment.

How to run locally

On a Mac:

  1. brew install hugo
  2. in the repo's main directory, run: hugo serve -D
  3. You should get a localhost:port to connect and see changes live.

How I built the base site:

The instructions below is how I built the skeleton site.

On Mac:

  1. brew install hugo
  2. hugo new site walabs (or hugo new site walabs --force if you are in an existing git repo)
  3. cd walabs
  4. git init
  5. git submodule add https://github.com/matcornic/hugo-theme-learn.git themes/learn
  6. modify config.tomal
  7. Until matcornic/hugo-theme-learn#355 gets resolved, I have implemented the fix in these 2 files:
    1. layouts/partials/menu.html
    2. static/css/theme-walabs.css
