In order to execute the steps in the workshop, you’ll need to clone the workshop GitHub repo.
In the Cloud9 IDE terminal, run the following command:
git clone https://github.com/awslabs/ec2-spot-workshops.git
Change into the workshop directory:
cd ec2-spot-workshops/workshops/running-amazon-ec2-workloads-at-scale
Feel free to browse around. You can also browse the directory structure in the Environment tab on the left, and even edit files directly there by double clicking on them.
You will need to modify the configuration files in this workshop to refer to the identifiers of the resources created by the CloudFormation stack. To make this easier, we will load the CloudFormation Outputs to environment variables. These environment variables will be used throughout the workshop to edit the files with sed. If you have not used runningAmazonEC2WorkloadsAtScaleas the name of your CloudFormation stack, make sure you update the stack_name variable to match your stack name.
export AWS_REGION=$(curl --silent http://169.254.169.254/latest/dynamic/instance-identity/document | jq -r .region)
export stack_name=runningAmazonEC2WorkloadsAtScale
# load outputs to env vars
for output in $(aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name $stack_name --query 'Stacks[].Outputs[].OutputKey' --output text)
do
export $output=$(aws cloudformation describe-stacks --stack-name $stack_name --query 'Stacks[].Outputs[?OutputKey==`'$output'`].OutputValue' --output text)
eval "echo $output : \"\$$output\""
done
After executing the above commands you should see the CloudFormation stack outputs listed on your terminal as the following:

The automation to edit configuration files in this workshop is designed avoid excessive copy-pasting. The instructions provide commands that use sed to update placeholder values like this %placeholder-value% with the resource identifications (ids) created by the output of CloudFormation. Regardless of the automation you are encouraged to read and understand the configuration files and confirm the changes applied.
