This is a simple 'serverless application' that allows you to create a VM in
|
|
an SDDC on VMware Cloud on AWS using a few cool tools including: Lambda,
|
|
Cognito, S3, and VMware Cloud on AWS.

To make this work you need to do the following:
|
|
|
|
1. Make sure that the vCenter in your SDDC is open to the world, or painfully configure Lambda
|
|
to run in an VPC and NAT to a specific IP address (which requires even more IAM roles for VPC access).
|
|
2. Create a working VM, and then Clone it to an OVF template in Content Library
|
|
3. Use the vCenter API browser to discover the UUID of the your OVF template
|
|
4. Update the HTML in index.html to match the UUID(s) of the VMs you wish to deploy
|
|
5. Create a new Lambda function and upload vm-request-form.zip as your code
|
|
6. Create a new Cognito "Federated Identity" for "anonymous access"
|
|
7. Update the javascript in index.html to match your new Cognito role
|
|
8. Create an S3 bucket and configure it for Webhosting
|
|
9. Upload index.html and vmc-sticker.png into your bucket
|
|
10. Muck with IAM until Lambda and Cognito get along together
|
|
(required Cognito role permissions are AWSLambdaExecute and AWSLambdaRole) |
