This repository contains scripts and configurations for setting up a Tomcat server on an EC2 instance using AWS CloudFormation. The setup includes creating a security group, launching an EC2 instance, and installing Tomcat on the instance.

Here is a brief overview of the key files in this repository:

This is the AWS CloudFormation template file. It defines the resources needed to set up the Tomcat server, including the security group and the EC2 instance.

This bash script installs Tomcat on the EC2 instance. It creates a user for Tomcat, updates the package manager cache, installs the Java Development Kit (JDK), downloads and extracts Tomcat, sets up the necessary permissions, and configures Tomcat service.

This bash script builds the application and copies the resulting WAR file to the Tomcat webapps directory.

This YAML file stores the name of the CloudFormation stack. It is used by the deploy_stack.sh and delete_stack.sh scripts to identify the stack.

This bash script deploys the CloudFormation stack defined in stack.yml. It uses the AWS CLI to create the stack and outputs the URLs for the Tomcat dashboard and application.

This bash script deletes the CloudFormation stack. It uses the AWS CLI to delete the stack.

To set up the Tomcat server run the deploy_stack.sh script to create the CloudFormation stack. This will launch the EC2 instance and apply the security group. Then it will run tomcat_server_install.sh to install tomcat and tomcat_app_install.sh to serve the app.

Once the installation is complete, you can access the Tomcat server by navigating to the URL provided by the deploy_stack.sh script.

To delete the CloudFormation stack, run the delete_stack.sh script.
