Activate your AWS Account that's used for Workbench deployment. For this one time install you should use an Admin Account (or an account that had permissions to create/update AWS Stacks)

cd workbench/aws_setup/workbench_dashboard_full
export WORKBENCH_CONFIG=/full/path/to/config.json
pip install -r requirements.txt
cdk bootstrap

AWS Stack Benefits

  1. Scalability: Includes an Application Load Balancer and uses ECS with Fargate, and ElasticCache for more robust scaling options.
  2. Higher Security: Utilizes security groups for both the ECS tasks, load balancer, plus VPC private subnets for Redis and the utilization of NAT Gateways.

AWS Costs

Deploying the Workbench Dashboard does incur some monthly AWS costs. If you're on a tight budget you can deploy the 'lite' version of the Dashboard Stack.

cd workbench/aws_setup/workbench_dashboard_lite
export WORKBENCH_CONFIG=/full/path/to/config.json
pip install -r requirements.txt
cdk bootstrap
cdk deploy
