Start and Stop EC2 Instance with Serverless Lambda

We use Serverless Framework to do production ready deployments and local development using serverless-offline. This project is a reference for how to use Serverless Framework to start and stop EC2 instances.

Stages

This service is not deployed yet. All the previous existing stages were removed. List the stages bellow as soon as they are created in the future.

Aknowledgements

This project was created using the Serverless Framework with the following instalation command:

npx serverless install -u https://github.com/nanlabs/devops-reference/tree/main/examples/serverless-start-stop-ec2-instance -n my-project

Requirements

You’ll need to have Node 16.13.2 or later on your local development machine (but it’s not required on the server). You can use fnm to easily switch Node versions between different projects.

git clone https://github.com/nanlabs/devops-reference.git
cd devops-reference/examples/serverless-start-stop-ec2-instance
fnm use
npm install

Local Development

This repo has a local development set up that uses the file .env.local to configure the local environment. Run the following command to start the local development server:

npm run sls:offline

It will start the following services:

• AWS Lambda at http://localhost:3000

Lambda Deployment

To deploy the app to AWS, you'll first need to configure your AWS credentials. There are many ways to set your credentials, for more information refer to the AWS documentation.

Once set you can deploy your app using the serverless framework with:

npm run sls:deploy -- --stage <stage>
