Install AWS CLI in gitpod

tasks:
  - name: aws-cli
    env:
      AWS_CLI_AUTO_PROMPT: on-partial
    init: |
      cd /workspace
      curl "https://awscli.amazonaws.com/awscli-exe-linux-x86_64.zip" -o "awscliv2.zip"
      unzip awscliv2.zip
      sudo ./aws/install
      cd $THEIA_WORKSPACE_ROOT

Also instead of exporting the AWS credentials as usual, gitpod has as special syntax to persist them.

Create Budgets with AWS Cli

    aws budgets create-budget --account-id $AWS_ACCOUNT_ID --budget file://aws/json/budget.json --notifications-with-subscribers file://aws/json/notifications-with-subscribers.json

I see the budget on my AWS account. Remember to delete it to avoid costs.

Create Billing Alarm with Cloudwatch

I followed this tutorial in AWS docs.

For that I also needed to create an SNS topic and subscribe to it which I did with the cli.

Support Case with AWS

At first I tried to use my personal email address to setup the bootcamp. It was an old AWS that was un-activated. I had a lot of problems due to my account not being fully activated. After trying for two days scalating the case within AWS support, I decided to re-do the setup with my LSE account. 010116213471 I wish I had done this earlier as I got really frustrated with week 0 due to this issue (I thought I was already dropping out!!) Glad I found a solution and I can continue to week1.
