Introduction

To integrate Bubble with Amazon EC2 G5 Instances by Amazon effectively, follow these steps. This guide will help you configure and set up your EC2 instance to work with Bubble seamlessly.

Step 1: Set Up Your Amazon EC2 G5 Instance

• Log in to your AWS Management Console.
• Navigate to the EC2 Dashboard.
• Click on "Launch Instance".
• Choose an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) that suits your needs. For GPU-accelerated applications, consider selecting an AMI with pre-installed deep learning frameworks.
• Select the instance type. Choose a G5 instance type, such as `g5.xlarge`, based on your requirements.
• Configure network settings and additional options as necessary.
• Review and launch the instance. Make sure to create or select an existing key pair for SSH access.

Step 2: Configure Security Groups

• Navigate to the "Security Groups" section in the EC2 Dashboard.
• Create a new security group or edit an existing one to allow inbound traffic on the necessary ports.
• Add rules to allow HTTP (port 80) and HTTPS (port 443) traffic. If you're using SSH for remote access, add a rule for port 22.
• Apply the security group to your EC2 instance.

Step 3: Connect to Your EC2 Instance

• Using SSH, connect to your instance. On your local machine, open a terminal and use the following command:
• \`\`\`shell ssh -i /path/to/your-key-pair.pem ec2-user@your-instance-public-ip \`\`\`
• Replace `/path/to/your-key-pair.pem` with the path to your key pair file and `your-instance-public-ip` with your instance's public IP address.

Step 4: Set Up Your Server Environment

• Once connected, update your package lists and install necessary software. For example:
• \`\`\`shell sudo yum update -y sudo yum install -y nginx \`\`\`
• Install any additional dependencies required by your application.

Step 5: Deploy Your Application

• You can deploy your application to the EC2 instance using various methods such as Git, SCP, or FTP.
• If using Git:
• \`\`\`shell git clone https://your-repo-url.git \`\`\`
• Navigate to the cloned directory and follow deployment instructions specific to your application.

Step 6: Configure Bubble API Connector

• In your Bubble application, go to the Plugins tab and install the API Connector plugin.
• Configure the API endpoints to match those set up on your EC2 instance. For example, if you've set up an API endpoint at `http://your-instance-public-ip/api/v1/data`, use this URL in the API Connector.
• Add the necessary headers, parameters, and authentication methods as required by your API.

Step 7: Test Integration

• Return to your Bubble application's workflow editor and create actions that use the configured API.
• Run the application to test if it successfully connects and retrieves data from your EC2 instance.

Step 8: Secure Your Application

• Ensure that all traffic between Bubble and your EC2 instance is encrypted using HTTPS.
• Consider setting up a custom domain with an SSL certificate for your EC2 instance.
• Review security group settings and AWS IAM roles to ensure your setup is secure.

Conclusion

Integrating Bubble with Amazon EC2 G5 instances involves setting up and configuring the EC2 instance, deploying your application, and connecting it through Bubble's API Connector. Ensure you follow best practices for security and performance to ensure a smooth and reliable integration.
