aws-iam-user-tool | command line tool to create AWS IAM users | Identity Management library

To run the Terraform script to create the SES email template and other AWS resources, the below is required to run one as a pre-requisite. If the /content/welcome_email.html template changes, this will need to be run again. This will also run the premailer program to inline the css and create the /content/welcome_email_cssinline.html file. The AWS creds provided above must be sufficient to create/access all AWS resosurces required, including IAM, SES, S3, and DynamoDb (for Terraform state). See the "terraform" folder to see exactly which resources are created. Terraform is configured here to remotely store its tfstate files in S3. As such, the creds you supply additionally need to be able to read and write from the S3 bucket you designate via the --tfstate-bucket argument your administrative creds, and the DyanamoDB table you designate via the --tfstate-dynamotable argument.
If you have not yet setup remote state in Terraform, you'll just need to create the S3 bucket you want to use for state. Terraform will take care of writing to it and creating the DynamoDB lock table. This is the bucket name referred to in the above argument --tfstate-bucket.
SES will not send emails until you have verified a domain for use with SES. If you have not already configured SES for use with your email, see the instructions below:. Verifying a Domain With Amazon SES: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/verify-domain-procedure.html. Or to verify just a single email address for testing: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ses/latest/DeveloperGuide/verify-email-addresses-procedure.html.
