1 - Reset secrets

In case Ohlala Operations form Amazon EC2 does not load anymore, one of the reason could be that secrets configured during the initial wizard are not valid anymore.

You can reset secrets by deleting the Secrets Manager named /ohlala/secrets with the following command:

aws secretsmanager delete-secret --secret-id /ohlala/secrets --force-delete-without-recovery

Restart Ohlala Operations form Amazon EC2, you should be prompted to run the wizard again.

2 - Delayed start

On a t3a.medium, Ohlala Operations for Amazon EC2 takes about 3 to 4 minutes to start. If you look at the AutoScaling Group, it has been set to allow 10 minutes for an instance to start and come online. This should be a comfortable margin.

For production environment, avoid burstable instance types (i.e. t2 or t3 instance families)
