# AWS EC2 Client Package | ||
|
||
**aws.ec2** is a simple client package for the Amazon Web Services (AWS) [Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2)](http://aws.amazon.com/ec2/) REST API, which can be used to monitor use of AWS web services. | ||
|
||
To use the package, you will need an AWS account and to enter your credentials into R. Your keypair can be generated on the [IAM Management Console](https://aws.amazon.com/) under the heading *Access Keys*. Note that you only have access to your secret key once. After it is generated, you need to save it in a secure location. New keypairs can be generated at any time if yours has been lost, stolen, or forgotten. The [**aws.iam** package](https://github.com/cloudyr/aws.iam) profiles tools for working with IAM, including creating roles, users, groups, and credentials programmatically; it is not needed to *use* IAM credentials. | ||
|
||
By default, all **cloudyr** packages for AWS services allow the use of credentials specified in a number of ways, beginning with: | ||
|
||
1. User-supplied values passed directly to functions. | ||
2. Environment variables, which can alternatively be set on the command line prior to starting R or via an `Renviron.site` or `.Renviron` file, which are used to set environment variables in R during startup (see `? Startup`). Or they can be set within R: | ||
|
||
```R | ||
Sys.setenv("AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID" = "mykey", | ||
"AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY" = "mysecretkey", | ||
"AWS_DEFAULT_REGION" = "us-east-1", | ||
"AWS_SESSION_TOKEN" = "mytoken") | ||
``` | ||
3. If R is running an EC2 instance, the role profile credentials provided by [**aws.ec2metadata**](https://cran.r-project.org/package=aws.ec2metadata). | ||
4. Profiles saved in a `/.aws/credentials` "dot file" in the current working directory. The `"default" profile is assumed if none is specified. | ||
5. [A centralized `~/.aws/credentials` file](https://blogs.aws.amazon.com/security/post/Tx3D6U6WSFGOK2H/A-New-and-Standardized-Way-to-Manage-Credentials-in-the-AWS-SDKs), containing credentials for multiple accounts. The `"default" profile is assumed if none is specified. | ||
|
||
Profiles stored locally or in a centralized location (e.g., `~/.aws/credentials`) can also be invoked via: | ||
|
||
```R | ||
# use your 'default' account credentials | ||
aws.signature::use_credentials() | ||
|
||
# use an alternative credentials profile | ||
aws.signature::use_credentials(profile = "bob") | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Temporary session tokens are stored in environment variable `AWS_SESSION_TOKEN` (and will be stored there by the `use_credentials()` function). The [aws.iam package](https://github.com/cloudyr/aws.iam/) provides an R interface to IAM roles and the generation of temporary session tokens via the security token service (STS). | ||
|
||
## Code Examples | ||
|
||
The basic idea of the package is to be able to launch and control EC2 instances. You can read [this blog post from AWS](https://blogs.aws.amazon.com/bigdata/post/Tx3IJSB6BMHWZE5/Running-R-on-AWS) about how to run R on EC2. | ||
|
||
A really simple example is to launch an instance that comes preloaded with an RStudio Server Amazon Machine Image ([AMI](http://www.louisaslett.com/RStudio_AMI/)): | ||
|
||
|
||
```r | ||
# Describe the AMI (from: http://www.louisaslett.com/RStudio_AMI/) | ||
image <- "ami-b1b0c3c2" | ||
describe_images(image) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
``` | ||
## Error in describe_images(image): could not find function "describe_images" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```r | ||
# Check your VPC and Security Group settings | ||
s <- describe_subnets() | ||
``` | ||
|
||
``` | ||
## Error in describe_subnets(): could not find function "describe_subnets" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```r | ||
g <- describe_sgroups() | ||
``` | ||
|
||
``` | ||
## Error in describe_sgroups(): could not find function "describe_sgroups" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```r | ||
# Launch the instance using appropriate settings | ||
i <- run_instances(image = image, | ||
type = "t2.micro", # <- you might want to change this | ||
subnet = s[[1]], | ||
sgroup = g[[1]]) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
``` | ||
## Error in run_instances(image = image, type = "t2.micro", subnet = s[[1]], : could not find function "run_instances" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```r | ||
# RStudio Server will be available at the "publicIp" address returned in `i` | ||
# Note: the default security settings prohibit outbound traffic | ||
|
||
# Stop and terminate the instances | ||
stop_instances(i[[1]]) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
``` | ||
## Error in stop_instances(i[[1]]): could not find function "stop_instances" | ||
``` | ||
|
||
```r | ||
terminate_instances(i[[1]]) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
``` | ||
## Error in terminate_instances(i[[1]]): could not find function "terminate_instances" | ||
``` | ||
|
||

|
||
This package is not yet on CRAN. To install the latest development version you can install from the cloudyr drat repository: | ||
|
||
```R | ||
# latest stable version | ||
install.packages("aws.ec2", repos = c(getOption("repos"), "http://cloudyr.github.io/drat")) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
Or, to pull a potentially unstable version directly from GitHub: | ||
|
||
```R | ||
if(!require("remotes")){ | ||
install.packages("remotes") | ||
} | ||
remotes::install_github("cloudyr/aws.ec2") | ||
``` | ||
|
