Blender Installation in AWS Windows EC2


Blender Installation in AWS Windows EC2

Requirements:
1.      GPU based graphic card
2.      Windows EC2 instance with support for GPU card
3.      RDP tool to connect to windows ec2
4.      Blender 2.79

GPU card:
            Blender is a high-end graphic design software with requires different graphic libraries. Open GL libraries are one of them and is needed to run the software. All these libraries will work with graphic cards only. So we need to connect one graphic card to our ec2 instances.
Windows EC2 instance with GPU card.
Step1: Login into AWS management console and select EC2 service.
Step2: Click launch instance
àselect windows server 2019 base AMI
àGPU Instances like p2.xlarge
àConfigure instance details if we go down, we can see option Elastic Graphics. Here selects the graphic card.
Note: this elastic graphic card option is available only in “us-east-1” and “us-east-2” regions.
è Now select the hard disk size ex: 500 GB as we need to install software’s like blender.
è Add tags like name to your instance.
è Now create a new security group and select two ports 2007,3389 and source as your IP address for security reasons.
Note: Generally, ec2 network card connects to graphic card and redirects the traffic to it so that graphic card can be accessible through RDP tool.
è Now review the settings and create a new windows ec2 instance.
è Download the key .pem file

RDP tool to connect to EC2 instance:
Step 1: Once the windows ec2 instance is ready, select it from the list of ec2 instances. Then we can see the option of connect in the top row.
Step2: Once we press “connect” button we can see options to download the RDP tool and option to decrypt the .pem file. Upload the .pem file and we can get a password to login into the ec2 instance.
Step3: Now edit the rdp file and we could see the options tabs. Here select experience tab and select best speed that suits you and now connect to the ec2 instance.
Blender Installation:
Step1: once you login into the windows ec2 instance download blender from the official page.
Step2: download only blender 2.79 or before versions only. If you install latest version like 2.80 it requires opengl 3.3 support which is not available in AWS GPU card.
Step3: Now install blender, it will install and work properly...

How to build and deploy project from Bitbucket to AWS Code Deploy

Integration of Bitbucket with AWS CodeDeploy This document is to explain how to integrate Bitbucket with AWS CodeDeploy. As we are aware that Bitbucket is used to store the source code. Bitbucket has come up with new services like Bitbucket Pipeline and Deploy to AWS services. With the help of this two added services one can build the code and deploy the code to other cloud services like AWS, Azure and BlueOcean where they keep their production servers. Once the developer commits the code in Bitbucket the Pipeline service activates and creates a build. Once the build is successful we can deploy the build directly to AWS CodeDeploy. So that the changes done in the application will reflect on the go. This document explains on how to configure Bitbucket with AWS CodeDeploy. Procedure to configure Bitbucket with AWS CodeDeploy. Prerequisite:   1.  Bitbucket account 2.  AWS account 3.  Working source code. Procedure: Step 1: Login into Bi...

Git Introduction

            Git Introduction  1.  What is Git? Git can be defined as a standard software or tool to store data which can be simultaneously used by one or more users. Git is used to create repositories which contain data and all the modifications done to this data can be traced using Git.Generally Git is used by developers to store source code. Example: A developer develops a software application and stores it in a Git repository, later on another developer works on this same data and push  changes to this repository. Now both developers can easily check the modifications done to the data using git. Git traces the changes made to data in the form of commits . Procedure: Step1: user1 pushes data to the repository. Step2: user2 pulls the changes done by user1 to his local repository and then he makes changes to the data or code and pushes them to the repository. Step3: now user1 pulls the data and makes changes. Note...
