The objective of this guide is to deploy Keycloak to AWS in a minimally complex way for testing and discovery purposes. This means using the standalone build of Keycloak backed with Hibernate H2. The result is not a production ready system. It won't scale, it won't survive significant load, it can't be clustered.
Mostly this Gist is a distillation of the Keycloak Server Installation guide for a specific use case: to spin up a quick and dirty Keycloak instance for testing and experimenting.
- Spin up and configure a Ubuntu AMI
- Install and configure Keycloak with an SSL cert
