How to deploy on AWS EC2
Amazon Web Services is a popular subsidiary of Amazon that provides on-demand cloud computing platforms on a metered pay-as-you-go basis. Access the AWS web console at console.aws.amazon.com.
Summary
- Install AWS and Juju tooling
- Bootstrap Juju controller on AWS EC2
- Deploy charms
- Expose database (optional)
- Clean up
Install AWS and Juju tooling
Install Juju via snap:
sudo snap install juju
Follow the installation guides for:
- AWs CLI - the Amazon Web Services CLI
To check they are all correctly installed, you can run the commands demonstrated below with sample outputs:
~$ juju version
3.5.4-genericlinux-amd64
~$ aws --version
aws-cli/2.13.25 Python/3.11.5 Linux/6.2.0-33-generic exe/x86_64.ubuntu.23 prompt/off
Authenticate
Create an IAM account (or use legacy access keys) to operate AWS EC2:
mkdir -p ~/.aws && cat <<- EOF > ~/.aws/credentials.yaml
credentials:
aws:
NAME_OF_YOUR_CREDENTIAL:
auth-type: access-key
access-key: SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_ID
secret-key: SECRET_ACCESS_KEY_VALUE
EOF
Bootstrap Juju controller on AWS EC2
Add AWS credentials to Juju:
juju add-credential aws -f ~/.aws/credentials.yaml
Bootstrap Juju controller (check all supported configuration options):
juju bootstrap aws
Output example
> juju bootstrap aws
Creating Juju controller "aws-us-east-1" on aws/us-east-1
Looking for packaged Juju agent version 3.5.4 for amd64

Bootstrap complete, controller "aws-us-east-1" is now available
Controller machines are in the "controller" model
Now you can run
juju add-model <model-name>
to create a new model to deploy workloads.
You can check the AWS EC2 instance availability (ensure the right AWS region chosen!):
Create a new Juju model:
juju add-model welcome
(Optional) Increase the debug level if you are troubleshooting charms:
juju model-config logging-config='<root>=INFO;unit=DEBUG'
Deploy charms
The following command deploys MySQL and Data-Integrator (the charm to request a test DB):
juju deploy mysql
juju deploy data-integrator --config database-name=test123
juju relate mysql data-integrator
Check the status:
> juju status --relations

Once deployed, request the credentials for your newly bootstrapped MySQL database.
For Juju 2.9 use:
juju run-action --wait data-integrator/leader get-credentials
and for newer Juju 3+ use:
juju run data-integrator/leader get-credentials
The output example:
mysql:
data: '{"database": "test123", "external-node-connectivity": "true", "requested-secrets":
"[\"username\", \"password\", \"tls\", \"tls-ca\", \"uris\"]"}'
database: test123
endpoints: 172.31.16.250:3306
password: e7vOMyzj2FnrBDnXZdXScEOc
read-only-endpoints: 172.31.10.167:3306,172.31.39.202:3306
username: relation-16
version: 8.0.36-0ubuntu0.22.04.1
ok: "True"
At this point, you can access your DB inside AWS using the internal IP address. All further Juju applications will use the database through the internal network:
> mysql -h 172.31.16.250 -P 3306 -u relation-16 -pe7vOMyzj2FnrBDnXZdXScEOc test123
...
mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| performance_schema |
| test123 |
+--------------------+
3 rows in set (0.00 sec)
From here you can use/scale/backup/restore/refresh your newly deployed Charmed MySQL.
Expose database (optional)
If necessary to access DB from outside of AWS (warning: opening ports to public is risky) open the AWS firewall using the simple juju expose functionality:
juju expose mysql
Once exposed, you can connect your database using the same credentials as above (Important: this time use the EC2 Public IP assigned to the MySQL instance):
> juju status mysql
...
Unit Workload Agent Machine Public address Ports Message
mysql/0* active idle 6 107.21.70.243 3306,33060/tcp Primary
...
> mysql -h 107.21.70.243 -P 3306 -u relation-16 -pe7vOMyzj2FnrBDnXZdXScEOc test123
...
mysql> show databases;
+--------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------+
| information_schema |
| performance_schema |
| test123 |
+--------------------+
3 rows in set (0.13 sec)
To close the public access run:
juju unexpose mysql
Clean up
Always clean AWS resources that are no longer necessary - they could be costly!
To destroy the Juju controller and remove AWS instance (warning: all your data will be permanently removed):
> juju controllers
Controller Model User Access Cloud/Region Models Nodes HA Version
aws-us-east-1* - admin superuser aws/us-east-1 1 1 none 3.5.4
> juju destroy-controller aws-us-east-1 --destroy-all-models --destroy-storage --force
Next, check and manually delete all unnecessary AWS EC2 instances, to show the list of all your EC2 instances run the following command (make sure the correct region used!):
aws ec2 describe-instances --region us-east-1 --query "Reservations[].Instances[*].{InstanceType: InstanceType, InstanceId: InstanceId, State: State.Name}" --output table
Output example

List your Juju credentials:
> juju credentials
...
Client Credentials:
Cloud Credentials
aws NAME_OF_YOUR_CREDENTIAL
...
Remove AWS EC2 CLI credentials from Juju:
> juju remove-credential aws NAME_OF_YOUR_CREDENTIAL
Finally, remove AWS CLI user credentials (to avoid forgetting and leaking):
rm -f ~/.aws/credentials.yaml
