Overview
In this assignment, you will be writing a shell script wrapper for user management using usermod, userdel, and useradd as building blocks. Include a verbose option to output what is happening step by step. Alongside this, you will be writing a python script that utilizes the AWS SDK to provision a t2.micro EC2 instance. For both of your scripts, create appropriate documentation in your git repo’s README.md file.
Submission
No webcampus submission. Follow the link provided below to create a GitHub classroom repo to push your code to. I will be checking the two scripts and the readme for documentation.
To-Do
For Git repo
Follow link instructions: https://classroom.github.com/a/GlVuYrot
Adduser Script:
Prompt for username, full name, and password
Create /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and /etc/group entries
Make sure syntax is correct before you make changes to actual files
For /etc/shadow, see sample code for generating password hash
Create home directory, chmod and chown it
AWS Script
https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-python/
Create SSH keypair to connect to instance with via aws SDK
create_key_pair() method: Documentation
Save the private key in it’s return JSON object
Save to a .pem file in current directory, with permissions 400
Create an t2.micro EC2 instance
create_instances() method: Documentation
Use keypair that you created
Save the public IP address of the instance in it’s return JSON object
Print out the IP address of the instance, and the path to the saved .pem private key
