Learn to create an Amazon DynamoDB NoSQL database table and populate using Amazon EC2 Instance.
Objectives:
1. Learn to create an Amazon DynamoDB NoSQL database table.
2. Populate using Amazon EC2 Instance.
Step 1: Go to Dynamo DB service in AWS console. Click on Create Table.
Table Name: ProductCatalog
Primary Key: Id Type: Number
Keep the rest as default and click on Create.
Step 2: Now we create a role for accessing providing EC2 access to Dynamo DB.
Go to IAM service from AWS console. Click on Roles. Click Create role.
Choose the EC2 use case. Proceed to Next: Permissions.
Search and select AmazonDynamoDBFullAccess policy.
Continue to tags and further to Review. Configure as follows:
Role name: EC2RoleForDynamoDB
Role Description: Allows EC2 instances to call AWS DynamoDB service on your behalf.
Click on Create Role at the bottom corner of screen.
Step 3: Launch an EC2 Linux Instance. For step by step instructions to launch EC2 instance visit our blog here.
After the instance is in running state.
Go to Actions -> Security -> Modify IAM Role
Select the DynamoDB role created in previous step and Save.
Step 4: SSH or Connect through AWS Management Console to the instance.
Run the following command to update the Linux instance.
sudo yum update
It would ask for confirmation. Enter Y and complete the update.
Further use the following command to get the data.
wget https://docs.aws.amazon.com/amazondynamodb/latest/developerguide/samples/sampledata.zip
Run the ls command once to confirm.
Unzip this data file using the next command:
unzip sampledata.zip
Now we write these files using next command. Change the highlighted part specific to the region you are operating in:
aws dynamodb batch-write-item --request-items file://ProductCatalog.json --region ap-south-1
Step 5: Now we go back to Dynamo DB console and when you refresh the table, it is observed to be populated.
We try to run a query in DynamoDB. In the Scan drop down above table select Query in drop down.
Provide a Number for Id and and run the query.
Note: After the completion of this tutorial, Delete the DynamoDB table and the EC2 Instance.
