Description

This cookbook provides libraries, resources and providers to configure
and manage Amazon Web Services components and offerings with the EC2
API. Currently supported resources:

  • EBS Volumes (ebs_volume)
  • EBS Raid (ebs_raid)
  • Elastic IPs (elastic_ip)
  • Elastic Load Balancer (elastic_lb)
  • AWS Resource Tags (resource_tag)

Unsupported AWS resources that have other cookbooks include but are
not limited to:

Requirements

Requires Chef 0.7.10 or higher for Lightweight Resource and Provider
support. Chef 0.8+ is recommended. While this cookbook can be used in
chef-solo mode, to gain the most flexibility, we recommend using
chef-client with a Chef Server.

An Amazon Web Services account is required. The Access Key and Secret
Access Key are used to authenticate with EC2.

AWS Credentials

In order to manage AWS components, authentication credentials need to
be available to the node. There are 2 way to handle this:
1. explicitly pass credentials parameter to the resource
2. or let the resource pick up credentials from the IAM role assigned to the instance

Using resource parameters

To pass the credentials to the resource, credentials should be available to the node.
There are a number of ways to handle this, such as node attributes or Chef roles.

We recommend storing these in a databag (Chef 0.8+), and loading them in the recipe where the
resources are needed.

DataBag recommendation:

% knife data bag show aws main
{
  "id": "main",
  "aws_access_key_id": "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY",
  "aws_secret_access_key": "YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"
}

This can be loaded in a recipe with:

aws = data_bag_item("aws", "main")

And to access the values:

aws['aws_access_key_id']
aws['aws_secret_access_key']

We'll look at specific usage below.

Using IAM instance role

If your instance has an IAM role, then the credentials can be automatically resolved by the cookbook
using Amazon instance metadata API.

You can then omit the resource parameters aws_secret_access_key and aws_access_key.

Of course, the instance role must have the required policies. Here is a sample policy for EBS volume
management:
json
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Action": [
"ec2:AttachVolume",
"ec2:CreateVolume",
"ec2:ModifyVolumeAttribute",
"ec2:DescribeVolumeAttribute",
"ec2:DescribeVolumeStatus",
"ec2:DescribeVolumes",
"ec2:DetachVolume",
"ec2:EnableVolumeIO"
],
"Sid": "Stmt1381536011000",
"Resource": [
"*"
],
"Effect": "Allow"
}
]
}

For resource tags:
json
{
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Action": [
"ec2:CreateTags"
],
"Sid": "Stmt1381536708000",
"Resource": [
"*"
],
"Effect": "Allow"
}
]
}

Recipes

default.rb

The default recipe installs the aws-sdk RubyGem, which this
cookbook requires in order to work with the EC2 API. Make sure that
the aws recipe is in the node or role run_list before any resources
from this cookbook are used.

"run_list": [
  "recipe[aws]"
]

The gem_package is created as a Ruby Object and thus installed
during the Compile Phase of the Chef run.

ec2_hints.rb

This recipe is used to setup the ec2 hints for ohai in the case that an
instance is not created using knife-ec2.

Libraries

The cookbook has a library module, Opscode::AWS::Ec2, which can be
included where necessary:

include Opscode::Aws::Ec2

This is needed in any providers in the cookbook. Along with some
helper methods used in the providers, it sets up a class variable,
ec2 that is used along with the access and secret access keys

Resources and Providers

This cookbook provides two resources and corresponding providers.

ebs_volume.rb

Manage Elastic Block Store (EBS) volumes with this resource.

Actions:

  • create - create a new volume.
  • attach - attach the specified volume.
  • detach - detach the specified volume.
  • snapshot - create a snapshot of the volume.
  • prune - prune snapshots.

Attribute Parameters:

  • aws_secret_access_key, aws_access_key - passed to Opscode::AWS:Ec2 to authenticate required, unless using IAM roles for authentication.
  • size - size of the volume in gigabytes.
  • snapshot_id - snapshot to build EBS volume from.
  • most_recent_snapshot - use the most recent snapshot when creating a volume from an existing volume (defaults to false)
  • availability_zone - EC2 region, and is normally automatically detected.
  • device - local block device to attach the volume to, e.g. /dev/sdi but no default value, required.
  • volume_id - specify an ID to attach, cannot be used with action :create because AWS assigns new volume IDs
  • timeout - connection timeout for EC2 API.
  • snapshots_to_keep - used with action :prune for number of snapshots to maintain.
  • description - used to set the description of an EBS snapshot
  • volume_type - "standard", "io1", or "gp2" ("standard" is magnetic, "io1" is piops SSD, "gp2" is general purpose SSD)
  • piops - number of Provisioned IOPS to provision, must be >= 100
  • existing_raid - whether or not to assume the raid was previously assembled on existing volumes (default no)

ebs_raid.rb

Manage Elastic Block Store (EBS) raid devices with this resource.

Attribute Parameters:

Attribute Parameters:

  • aws_secret_access_key, aws_access_key - passed to Opscode::AWS:Ec2 to authenticate, required, unless using IAM roles for authentication.

Usage

The following examples assume that the recommended data bag item has
been created and that the following has been included at the top of
the recipe where they are used.

include_recipe "aws"
aws = data_bag_item("aws", "main")

aws_ebs_volume

The resource only handles manipulating the EBS volume, additional
resources need to be created in the recipe to manage the attached
volume as a filesystem or logical volume.

aws_ebs_volume "db_ebs_volume" do
  aws_access_key aws['aws_access_key_id']
  aws_secret_access_key aws['aws_secret_access_key']
  size 50
  device "/dev/sdi"
  action [ :create, :attach ]
end

This will create a 50G volume, attach it to the instance as /dev/sdi.

aws_ebs_volume "db_ebs_volume_from_snapshot" do
  aws_access_key aws['aws_access_key_id']
  aws_secret_access_key aws['aws_secret_access_key']
  size 50
  device "/dev/sdi"
  snapshot_id "snap-ABCDEFGH"
  action [ :create, :attach ]
end

This will create a new 50G volume from the snapshot ID provided and
attach it as /dev/sdi.

aws_elastic_ip

The elastic_ip resource provider does not support allocating new
IPs. This must be done before running a recipe that uses the resource.
After allocating a new Elastic IP, we recommend storing it in a
databag and loading the item in the recipe.

Databag structure:

% knife data bag show aws eip_load_balancer_production
{
  "id": "eip_load_balancer_production",
  "public_ip": "YOUR_ALLOCATED_IP"
}

Then to set up the Elastic IP on a system:

ip_info = data_bag_item("aws", "eip_load_balancer_production")

aws_elastic_ip "eip_load_balancer_production" do
  aws_access_key aws['aws_access_key_id']
  aws_secret_access_key aws['aws_secret_access_key']
  ip ip_info['public_ip']
  action :associate
end

This will use the loaded aws and ip_info databags to pass the
required values into the resource to configure. Note that when
associating an Elastic IP to an instance, connectivity to the instance
will be lost because the public IP address is changed. You will need
to reconnect to the instance with the new IP.

You can also store this in a role as an attribute or assign to the
node directly, if preferred.

aws_elastic_lb

elastic_lb opererates similar to `elastic_ip'. Make sure that you've
created the ELB and enabled your instances' availability zones prior
to using this provider.

For example, to register the node in the 'QA' ELB:

aws_elastic_lb "elb_qa" do
  aws_access_key aws['aws_access_key_id']
  aws_secret_access_key aws['aws_secret_access_key']
  name "QA"
  action :register
end

aws_resource_tag

resource_tag can be used to manipulate the tags assigned to one or
more AWS resources, i.e. ec2 instances, ebs volumes or ebs volume
snapshots.

Assigning tags to a node to reflect it's role and environment:

aws_resource_tag node['ec2']['instance_id'] do
  aws_access_key aws['aws_access_key_id']
  aws_secret_access_key aws['aws_secret_access_key']
  tags({"Name" => "www.example.com app server",
        "Environment" => node.chef_environment})
  action :update
end

Assigning a set of tags to multiple resources, e.g. ebs volumes in a
disk set:

aws_resource_tag 'my awesome raid set' do
  aws_access_key aws['aws_access_key_id']
  aws_secret_access_key aws['aws_secret_access_key']
  resource_id [ "vol-d0518cb2", "vol-fad31a9a", "vol-fb106a9f", "vol-74ed3b14" ]
  tags({"Name" => "My awesome RAID disk set",
        "Environment" => node.chef_environment})
end

Note If you would like to use the normal attribute
node['aws']['ebs_volume']['db_ebs_volume']['volume_id'] generated by the
aws_ebs_volume resource examples above as input for the resource_id attribute of
the aws_resource_tag resource, you must employ the "lazy" attribute feature
from Chef 10.28 or Chef 11.x and higher. "lazy" will delay the
evaluation of the resource_id attribute's value until the normal/set node attribute is
available.

aws_resource_tag "db_ebs_volume" do
  resource_id lazy { node['aws']['ebs_volume']['db_ebs_volume']['volume_id'] }
  tags ({"Service" => "Frontend"})
end

aws_s3_file

s3_file can be used to download a file from s3 that requires aws authorization. This
is a wrapper around remote_file and supports the same resource attributes as remote_file.

aws_s3_file "/tmp/foo" do
  bucket "i_haz_an_s3_buckit"
  remote_path "path/in/s3/bukket/to/foo"
  aws_access_key_id aws['aws_access_key_id']
  aws_secret_access_key aws['aws_secret_access_key']
end

aws_instance_monitoring

Allows detailed CloudWatch monitoring to be enabled for the current instance.

aws_instance_monitoring "enable detailed monitoring"
