Build Requirements - PERRINN/infrastructure GitHub Wiki

If you can't use git to check out the code, maybe you should stop here...

You will need:

• an AWS account with rights to create and execute Cloud Formation and to launch EC2, RDS, Route53 and ELB instances.
• Set up your account credentials according to the AWS documentation. Usually this involves creating a .aws/credentials and .aws/config files.
• Install packer (http://packer.io)
• We rely on ELB and Route53, so even if you have a "free tier" account, you will still incur some costs. Developers could tweak the scripts to do without ELB and Route53 if necessary.
