Tech Tuesday Workshop - Use Terraform to Provision Your Own Cloud-Based Remote Browsing Workstation

Abstract: This workshop will teach you everything you need to know to provision your own Cloud-Based Ubuntu Workstation in AWS for Remote Browsing. Sometimes there are valid security and privacy reasons to use a temporary workstation for potentially malicious websites or to avoid tracking.

Prerequisites: Attendees will need an AWS Account and should be comfortable launching an EC2 instance and connecting to it. Here is a tutorial on launching an EC2 virtual machine instance: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EC2_GetStarted.html

During the session we will briefly cover some basic git commands as well as Terraform basics, including installation.

System Requirements:

• Link to Sign Up for an AWS Account: https://aws.amazon.com/free
• Terraform is available for download here: https://www.terraform.io/downloads.html
• Up to date Web Browser
• For a consistent experience, we will be using the new AWS CloudShell.
• Mac users will need to add RDP capability per https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/remote/remote-desktop-services/clients/remote-desktop-mac
