Tutorial prerequisites and considerations
Before you start this tutorial, follow the Amazon setup instructions in Accessing Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra). These steps include signing up for Amazon and creating an Amazon Identity and Access Management (IAM) principal with access to Amazon Keyspaces. Take note of the name of the IAM user and the access keys because you'll need them later in this tutorial.
Create a keyspace with the name myKeyspace
and at least one table to test
the connection using the VPC endpoint later in this tutorial. You can find detailed
instructions in Getting started with Amazon Keyspaces (for Apache Cassandra).
After completing the prerequisite steps, proceed to Step 1: Launch an Amazon EC2 instance.
