Register a droplet in AWS OpsWorks

AWS Requirements

• create a new IAM user and attach the AWS OpsWorks Register Policy
• for testing: create a new stack on AWS OpsWorks and fetch its ID
• customize all variables prefixed with YOUR_ from the cloud-config.yml

DigitalOcean

• start process to create a droplet
• put in hostname, select the Ubuntu 14.04 image
• paste the cloud-config.yml into the user-data field
• confirm and wait for the droplet to appear on OpsWorks

Did it work?

When you log into your droplet the MOTD should look like this:

$ ssh root@public-droplet-ip
