App Usage

Launch or connect instance

Add IAM Role for the EC2 Instance (CloudWatch)

In order to request CloudWatch metrics (CPU usage etc.) you need to create IAM Role with listed services and attach it to your EC2 instance

• AmazonSSMManagedInstanceCore
• CloudWatchAgentServerPolicy

CloudWatch setup

Run: setup_cloudwatch.py

Boot app

Run: ec2_manager_gui.py
