AWS Architecture

Deploy the SAM template

Prerequisites

• An AWS Account to deploy the infrastructure
• AWS CLI v2
• SAM CLI

How to

Once you have everything listed above, you will need to configure the AWS CLI tool to access your AWS account.

Then, open the aws/samconfig.toml file and change the following part:

parameter_overrides = [
    "SenderEmail=\"youremail@example.com\"",
]

Putting the email you have verified on the AWS SES that you want to use to send the secret santa invites.

Then change directory to aws:

cd aws/

and run the following:

sam deploy

This should automatically take all the configurations from the samconfig.toml file and deploy your infrastructure.

Tear down

When you have finished, you can go again in the aws/ folder and run

sam delete

to tear down the whole project
