Sometimes it is useful to route traffic through a different machine for testing or development. At work, we have a VPN to a remote facility that we haven't bothered to fix for routing, so the only way to access a certain machine over that VPN is via an SSH tunnel to a machine that is reachable over the VPN. Other times, I have used this technique to test internet-facing requests against sites I am developing. It is pretty easy, and if you don't use firefox regularly, you can treat Firefox as your "Proxy" browser and other browsers can use a normal configuration (Although you can also configure an entire system to use the proxy, other articles exists that discuss this potential).

Setup redis-cli without the whole Redis Server on AWS EC2

This fast tutorial will teach you how to install redis-clion AWS EC2 without having to install the whole Redis Server. Firstly, SSH into your EC2 instance and run the following command:

$ sudo yum install gcc

This may return an "already installed" message, but that's OK. After that, just run:

$ wget http://download.redis.io/redis-stable.tar.gz && tar xvzf redis-stable.tar.gz && cd redis-stable && make && sudo cp src/redis-cli /usr/local/bin/ && sudo chmod 755 /usr/local/bin/redis-cli

This is how I configured the deploy of my rails apps to AWS Elastic Beanstalk through CircleCI 1.0.

If you are using the Circle CI 2.0, take a look at this article from ryansimms

Configure Environments Variables

On Project Settings > Environment Variables add this keys:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
The aws user must have the right permissions. This can be hard, maybe, this can help you.
