Workshop Architecture Review
This workshop follows a modular, service-by-service approach:
1. Java SDK v2 for interacting with AWS programmatically
2. AWS CLI for scripting infrastructure
3. Capstone projects for building something functional
Have a pattern in place that can help in future coding projects

Modules Covered
• S3
• EC2
• Lambda
• API Gateway
• DynamoDB
• SNS
• SQS
• IAM
• CloudWatch
• CloudFormation
• RDS (with EC2 MySQL Client)
• Capstone Project (Full Stack Backend)

Common Setup - AWS CLI + Java + Maven
• Java 17
• Maven build with SDK dependencies
• AWS CLI con
fi
gured with aws con
fi
gure
• Code resides in src/main/java/com/aws/workshop
• Scripts lives in scripts directory

What is Amazon S3
• Simple Storage Service - launched 2006
• Focused on General Object Storage on Cloud
• Big
fi
les, small
fi
les, media content, source code, spreadsheets etc
• Scalable, Highly Available, Durable, Supports integrations with AWS
• Useful in various contexts:
• Website Hosting
• Database Backups
• Data Processing Pipelines

S3: Core Concepts
• Buckets: Container of objects we want to store within a certain namespace
• Objects: Content that we are storing within a bucket
• Access
• By URL: http://s3.amazomaws.com/<BUCKET_NAME>/<OBJECT_NAME>
• Programatically: We will see in code examples

S3: Storage Classes
• Allows to reduce costs, but with reduced features
• Examples: Standard, Intelligent, Infrequent Access, Glacier
• Each tier has di
ff
erent pricing, latency, availability
• Standard Tier (Hot Data) —> Infrequent Access —> Glacier (Cold Data)
• Lifecycle Rules: Automate data movement process

S3: Java Code Basics
Create a client using builder pattern:
S3Client s3 = S3Client.builder()
.region(Region.AP_SOUTH_1)
.build()
Create a putObjectRequest using builder pattern:
PutObjectRequest putObjectRequest = PutObjectRequest.builder()
.bucket(bucketName)
.key(key)
.build();
Actual invocation to put an object in S3:
s3.putObject(putObjectRequest, RequestBody.fromFile(new File(filePath)));

S3: AWS CLI
Navigate to src/main/resources/awscli/s3operations.cli
// --- AWS CLI Commands for S3 Operations ---
// 1⃣ Create an S3 Bucket
aws s3 mb s3://my-cli-s3-bucket
// 2⃣ Upload a File to S3
aws s3 cp file.txt s3://my-cli-s3-bucket/
// 3⃣ List Objects in an S3 Bucket
aws s3 ls s3://my-cli-s3-bucket/
// 4⃣ Delete an Object from S3
aws s3 rm s3://my-cli-s3-bucket/file.txt
// 5⃣ Delete an S3 Bucket (must be empty before deleting)
aws s3 rb s3://my-cli-s3-bucket --force

AWS IAM
Identity and Access Management
Securely controls access to AWS services and resources
Includes Users, Roles, Policies and Groups
Critical for security of AWS Infrastructure

AWS IAM: Java API
Create IamClient by providing region:
IamClient iam = IamClient.builder().region(Region.AWS_GLOBAL).build();
Create User using builder pattern:
CreateUserRequest createUserRequest = CreateUserRequest.builder().userName(userName).build();
iam.createUser(createUserRequest);
Attach ReadOnlyAccess Policy:
AttachUserPolicyRequest attachPolicyRequest = AttachUserPolicyRequest.builder()
.userName(userName)
.policyArn("arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/ReadOnlyAccess")
.build();

AWS IAM: AWS CLI
# 1⃣ Create an IAM Role with Trust Policy
aws iam create-role
--role-name my-lambda-role
--assume-role-policy-document file://lambda-trust-policy.json
# 2⃣ Attach a Managed Policy to Role (e.g., AWSLambdaBasicExecutionRole)
aws iam attach-role-policy
--policy-arn arn:aws:iam::aws:policy/service-role/AWSLambdaBasicExecutionRole
# 3⃣ Attach an Inline Policy to Role (e.g., DynamoDB access)
aws iam put-role-policy
--policy-name DynamoDBPutItemPolicy
--policy-document file://dynamodb-putitem-policy.json
# 4⃣ Get Role Details
aws iam get-role
# 5⃣ List Attached Policies
aws iam list-attached-role-policies
# 6⃣ List Inline Policies
aws iam list-role-policies

AWS EC2
EC2 are like virtual server on Cloud
Key components: AMI, Instance Type, Security Group, key-Pair
AMI (Amazon Machine Image)
- Think of it as a blueprint for your instance
- De
fi
nes OS, pre-installed software, volume storage and boot con
fi
g
Instance Type: De
fi
nes hardware specs (CPU, RAM, Networking capacity)
- Categorised by use-case: t2.micro/t3.micro (free tier eligible), c5.large (compute optimised), r5.large (memory optimised)
- selecting right instance type is key for cost and performance needs

AWS EC2: Continued
Security Group
- Acts like a virtual
fi
rewall for your instance
- control inbound and outbound tra
ffi
c to EC2
- Rules are based on
- Port (22 for SSH, 80 for HTTP, 3306 for MySQL)
- Protocol (TCP/UDP)
Source IP range (eg 0.0.0.0/0 means public access)
Key-Pair
- A public-private key is used to SSH in your instance
- AWS stores public key and we download the private key (.pem
fi
le)
- Without key we cannot SSH to instance after creation

AWS EC2: Java API
Build Ec2Client, provide region:
Ec2Client ec2 = Ec2Client.builder().region(Region.AP_SOUTH_1).build();
Make RunInstancesRequest:
RunInstancesRequest runRequest = RunInstancesRequest.builder()
.imageId("ami-0c768662cc797cd75") // ✅ Amazon Linux 2 (Mumbai)
.instanceType(InstanceType.T2_MICRO)
.maxCount(1)
.minCount(1)
.keyName("my-key") // ✅ Replace with your real key pair
.securityGroupIds("sg-my-security-group")
Make RunInstances call:
RunInstancesResponse response = ec2.runInstances(runRequest);

AWS EC2: CLI
# -----------------------------------------
# EC2 Operations via AWS CLI
# -----------------------------------------
# 1⃣ Launch an EC2 Instance (Amazon Linux 2 – Free Tier Eligible)
aws ec2 run-instances
--image-id ami-0c768662cc797cd75
--instance-type t2.micro
--key-name my-key
--security-group-ids sg-06b8961f9dd1435fe
--region ap-south-1
# 2⃣ List All EC2 Instances
aws ec2 describe-instances
--query "Reservations[*].Instances[*].[InstanceId,State.Name,InstanceType,PublicIpAddress]"
--output table
--region ap-south-1
# 3⃣ Stop an EC2 Instance
aws ec2 stop-instances
--instance-ids i-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
--region ap-south-1
# 4⃣ Terminate an EC2 Instance
aws ec2 terminate-instances
--instance-ids i-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
--region ap-south-1

AWS API Gateway
Create RESTful API that triggers Lambdas
Support custom domains, authentication, rate limits
Works seamlessly with Lambda (AWS_PROXY)
CLI Script:
- create-rest-api, create-resource, put-method, put-integration
- Adds permission and deploys

AWS Lambda
Serverless function hosting
Triggered by events (API, S3, SQS, etc)
Pay only by runtime duration
Stateless and ephemeral

AWS Lambda Java API
public class LambdaHandler implements RequestHandler<APIGatewayProxyRequestEvent, APIGatewayProxyResponseEvent> {
@Override
public APIGatewayProxyResponseEvent handleRequest(APIGatewayProxyRequestEvent request, Context context) {
context.getLogger().log("LambdaHandler invoked");
APIGatewayProxyResponseEvent response = new APIGatewayProxyResponseEvent();
response.setStatusCode(200);
response.setBody("{ "message": "👋 Hello from Java Lambda!" }");
return response;
}
}
Implements RequestHandler, takes API Gateway event and
returns JSON response

AWS CloudFormation
Infrastructure as code (IaC)
Write cloud formation templates and call aws cloud formation: create-stack, delete-stack, describe-stacks
Declarative YAML/JSON template
AWSTemplateFormatVersion: '2010-09-09'

aws dynamodb put-item
--item '{"studentId": {"S": "101"}, "name": {"S": "Meetu"}, "email": {"S": "meetu@example.com"}}'
--region $REGION

AWS SQS
Queue based asynchronous messaging
Pull model - consumers polls messages
Used for decoupling micro-services and job processing
SQS also has de-duplication queue settings to manage fail scenarios

AWS SQS Java API
Create SQS client:
SqsClient sqsClient = SqsClient.builder().region(Region.AP_SOUTH_1).build();
Create Create SQS Request:
// 1⃣ Create Queue
CreateQueueRequest createQueueRequest = CreateQueueRequest.builder()
.queueName(queueName)
.build();
String queueUrl = sqsClient.createQueue(createQueueRequest).queueUrl();
// 2⃣ Send Message
SendMessageRequest sendRequest = SendMessageRequest.builder()
.queueUrl(queueUrl)
.messageBody("Hello from SQS via Java!")
.build();
sqsClient.sendMessage(sendRequest);

AWS SQS CLI

SnsClient sns = SnsClient.builder().region(Region.AP_SOUTH_1).build();
Create Topic request:
CreateTopicRequest createRequest = CreateTopicRequest.builder().name(topicName).build();
Publish Message:
// 2⃣ Publish Message
PublishRequest pubRequest = PublishRequest.builder()
.topicArn(topicArn)
.message("Hello from AWS Java SNS!")
.build();
sns.publish(pubRequest);

AWS SNS Script
# 1⃣ Create SNS Topic
echo "🔧 Creating SNS topic '$TOPIC_NAME'..."
TOPIC_ARN=$(aws sns create-topic
--name $TOPIC_NAME
--region $REGION
