Cloud Native Gallery Web App

##Prerequisites

• System running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on a physical or virtual machine
  • The deployment scripts have been tailored and tested to work on a Ubuntu 16.04 LTS system
• AWS Command Line Interface installed and configured with:
  • Credentials of an AWS account that has access to AWS IAM Roles
  • Default region to be us-west-2
• Create an EC2 Key Pair, if one does not exist already
  • Allows ssh login access to the EC2 instances that host the web-app
• Create an IAM Role with the PowerUserAccess policy set
  • Enable the web-app to interact with AWS and thereby eliminating the need to hardcode credentials in the source or store them in config files across multiple servers

##Adding Subscribers

• This web-app uses AWS's SNS to send out email notifications to all of its subscribed users
• To add more subscribers: Enter valid email addresses of users into the data/subscriber_email_addresses.txt file
  • Note: Make additions before running the deploy web-app script as the users are subscribed to SNS as part of the deployment process
