Ubuntu 16.04 has a feature called Snap packaging. Snaps are containerized software packages that are simple to create, and easy to install on all major Linux systems. Snap packages are self-contained and separate from your system files. There are no complex dependencies or interference. The packages are safe to run since snap packages and their data are separate from your system files. Updates are automatic and only download what has changed. You can revert to a previous version at any time. Any updates can also be reversed.
To install snap in Ubuntu, run this command from the Terminal.
$ sudo apt install snapd |
$ sudo apt install snapd
To install snap packages, run the following:
$ sudo snap install packagename |
$ sudo snap install packagename
To get a list of packages installed on your system:
$ snap list |
$ snap list
To automatically update the packages, just run the following:
$ sudo snap refresh packagename |
$ sudo snap refresh packagename
To revert changes or remove a package, perform the following:
$ sudo snap revert packagename $ sudo snap remove packagename |
$ sudo snap revert packagename $ sudo snap remove packagename
Super easy to use.
The advantage of running Amazon Linux on AWS is that you already have the AWS CLI (command line interface) loaded as part of the image. In addition, Amazon Linux has rolling updates. It means you don’t have to perform major upgrades as you go to from one version to another. It’s all part of the process when you perform periodical updates. However, if you’re running Ubuntu, it’s no slouch. It’s a popular distro which many administrators have chosen to use due to its simplicity and robust repository. So, if you’re running Ubuntu, you might want to install the AWS CLI to give you the tools you need similar to what Amazon Linux has. Here’s how to install AWS CLI on Ubuntu.
$ sudo apt install awscli |
$ sudo apt install awscli
You will need to run the configuration before you can start using AWS CLI. See example below.
$ sudo aws configure AWS Access Key ID [None]: AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE AWS Secret Access Key [None]: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY Default region name [None]: us-west-2 Default output format [None]: json |
$ sudo aws configure AWS Access Key ID [None]: AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE AWS Secret Access Key [None]: wJalrXUtnFEMI/K7MDENG/bPxRfiCYEXAMPLEKEY Default region name [None]: us-west-2 Default output format [None]: json
Obviously, you will need your own Access Key and Secret Key that you’ll need to generate from your AWS Console under IAM.
