cd amazon-sagemaker-codeserver/install-scripts/studio

LCC_CONTENT=`openssl base64 -A -in install-codeserver.sh`

aws sagemaker create-studio-lifecycle-config 
    --studio-lifecycle-config-name install-codeserver-on-jupyterserver 
    --studio-lifecycle-config-content $LCC_CONTENT 
    --studio-lifecycle-config-app-type JupyterServer 
    --query 'StudioLifecycleConfigArn'

aws sagemaker update-domain 
    --region <your_region> 
    --domain-id <your_domain_id> 
    --default-user-settings 
    '{
    "JupyterServerAppSettings": {
    "DefaultResourceSpec": {
    "LifecycleConfigArn": "arn:aws:sagemaker:<your_region>:<your_account_id>:studio-lifecycle-config/install-codeserver-on-jupyterserver",
    "InstanceType": "system"
    },
    "LifecycleConfigArns": [
    "arn:aws:sagemaker:<your_region>:<your_account_id>:studio-lifecycle-config/install-codeserver-on-jupyterserver"
    ]
    }}'

# Ensure to switch <your_domain_id>, <your_region> and <your_account_id> within the earlier instructions with
