Guide to setting up a Jenkins build server on AWS: https://aws.amazon.com/getting-started/projects/setup-jenkins-build-server/

Overview:

• launch ec2 instance
• install jenkins
• configure jenkins to spin up workers if build abilities need to be augmented

Set up security group:

• set up a vpc
• allow http access from anyone
• allow ssh traffic from your public ip

Launching instance:

• t2.micro
• Enable auto-assign a public IP address
• Choose your VPC from Network, choose your public subnet from Network

Install:

• apt-get update
• download/install (import yum key in instructions)
• Connect to port 8080 to log in

Check for Jenkins password in /var/lib/jenkins/secrets/initialAdminPassword.

Select Amazon EC2 plugin, pick install without restart

Manage Jenkins > Configure system > Cloud > Add new cloud > Amazon EC2
