EC2-Instance-Manager

A simple GUI tool for managing EC2 instances on Windows.

Building the source

The following steps assume you have MSVC 2022, Qt MSVC 2022 libraries (added to path), AWS CPP SDK, CMake, and CMake generator set to MSVC 2022.

1. Edit line 78 & 80 of /CMakeLists.txt to include the path of your AWS CPP SDK for both configurations. For reference, path subfolders should have /bin, /include, /lib.
2. Run mkdir build && cd build.
3. Run cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=PATH -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. where PATH is the location of your Qt libraries' cmake files (ex: C:\Qt\6.8.2\msvc2022_64\lib\cmake\Qt6).
4. Run cmake --build . --config=Release.
5. The executable should be in the Release folder. Copy all AWS .dlls from the build directory into the folder. Run cd Release.
6. Run windeployqt EC2-Instance-Manager.exe.

Usage

This application requires the use of the Default AWS Credentials Provider Chain to authenticate calls with the AWS SDK. If you're able to make requests with the AWS CLI, chances are you're good to go!
