One-time configuration to set up AWS resources for staRburst

Usage

starburst_setup(
  region = "us-east-1",
  force = FALSE,
  use_public_base = TRUE,
  ecr_image_ttl_days = NULL,
  build_image = TRUE
)

Arguments

region

AWS region (default: "us-east-1")

force

Force re-setup even if already configured

use_public_base

Use public base Docker images (default: TRUE). Set to FALSE to build private base images in your ECR.

ecr_image_ttl_days

Number of days to keep Docker images in ECR (default: NULL = never delete). AWS will automatically delete images older than this many days. This prevents surprise costs if you stop using staRburst. Recommended: 30 days for regular users, 7 days for occasional users. When images are deleted, they will be rebuilt on next use (adds 3-5 min).

build_image

Build the worker environment image during setup (default: TRUE). Set to FALSE to provision AWS resources (S3/ECR/ECS/VPC), write config, and check quotas without triggering the multi-minute Docker image build. The image is then built lazily on first worker launch via ensure_environment(). Useful for CI / connectivity checks.

Value

Invisibly returns the configuration list.

Examples

# \donttest{
if (starburst_is_configured()) {
  # Default: keep images forever (~$0.50/month idle cost)
  starburst_setup()

  # Auto-delete images after 30 days (saves money if you stop using it)
  starburst_setup(ecr_image_ttl_days = 30)

  # Use private base images with 7-day cleanup
  starburst_setup(use_public_base = FALSE, ecr_image_ttl_days = 7)

  # Provision resources without building the image (fast; CI / connectivity checks)
  starburst_setup(build_image = FALSE)
}
# }
