Or use the instructions outlined below to set up [AWS EC2](https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/) instances and [ScyllaDB Enterprise](https://www.scylladb.com/product/scylla-enterprise/) and run 1 million ops/sec workload.

## Prerequisites

* AWS account and CLI credentials (more information on acquiring the credentials [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-configure-files.html) and [here](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/cli-chap-configure.html), for OKTA you can use [gimme-aws-creds](https://github.com/Nike-Inc/gimme-aws-creds))
* Terraform installed on your machine (installation instructions [here](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/tutorials/aws-get-started/install-cli))

### AWS permissions

Make sure that you have sufficient AWS permissions to create the following items:

* VPC
* Subnets
* Security groups
* EC2 instances

## Configure Terraform and set up infrastructure

1. Clone the repository:
   ```default
   git clone https://github.com/scylladb/1m-ops-demo.git
   cd 1m-ops-demo/scylladb-enterprise/
   ```
2. Set the required items in `variables.tf`:
   ```terraform
   # Set the following variables (mandatory)
   #

   # AWS credentials file

   variable "path_to_aws_cred_file" {
   description = "AWS credentials location"
   type        = string
   default     = "/home/user/.aws/credentials"
   }

   # AWS credentials file
   variable "aws_creds_profile" {
   description = "AWS credentials profile"
   type        = string
   default     = "DeveloperAccessRole"
   }

   # SSH private key for EC2 instance access
   variable "ssh_private_key" {
   description = "SSH private key location for EC2 instance access"
   type        = string
   default     = "/home/user/Documents/key.pem"
   }

   variable "aws_key_pair_name" {
   description = "Key pair name in AWS"
   type        = string
   default     = "key-pair"
   }

   variable "aws_region" {
   description = "AWS region"
   type        = string
   default     = "us-east-2"
   }

   # Make sure the AMIs are available in your chosen region
   # Amazon Machine Image (AMI) ID
   variable "monitoring_ami_id" {
   description = "AMI ID for the EC2 instance"
   type        = string
   default     = "ami-068cf3d51efeb20d6"
   }

   # Scylla (AMI) ID
   variable "scylla_ami_id" {
   description = "AMI ID for the ScyllaDB EC2 instance"
   type        = string
   default     = "ami-0a4e6d1a9b982b961"
   }

   # Scylla (AMI) ID for Loader instance
   variable "loader_ami_id" {
   description = "AMI ID for the EC2 loader instance"
   type        = string
   default     = "ami-027fdd99203b5e063"
   }
   ```
3. Run Terraform:
   ```bash
   terraform init
   terraform plan
   terraform apply

   Do you want to perform these actions?
   Terraform will perform the actions described above.
   Only 'yes' will be accepted to approve.

   Enter a value: yes

   [...]

   Apply complete! Resources: 20 added, 0 changed, 0 destroyed.

   Outputs:

   monitoring_url = "http://<ip-address>:3000"
   scylla_ips = "10.0.0.74,10.0.0.73,10.0.0.145"
   scylla_public_ips = "18.222.111.226,18.222.163.223,3.145.73.47"
   ```

Setting up the infrastructure takes 4+ minutes. Once Terraform is finished, go to the ScyllaDB Monitoring page (Terraform outputs the URL).

After finishing the demo, destroy the infrastructure:

```default
terraform destroy
```
