Amazon Web Services (AWS) Node Steps
Getting Started
Tips
It is helpful to configure the AWS EC2 resource model plugin before using these steps: AWS EC2 Resource Model
Amazon's EC2 (Elastic Cloud Compute) is a cloud service in wide use for dynamic infrastructure; it is easy to start up and shut down Node "Instances" in the cloud. Use these Rundeck steps to automate common EC2 actions.
- Access Key ID
- Specify your AWS Access key.
- Project setting: project.aws.access_key
- Configuration Management/Framework Setting: aws.access_key
- Secret Key
- Specify the path to your AWS Secret Key in the Rundeck Key Storage
- Project setting: project.aws.secret_key_path
- Configuration Management/Framework Setting: aws.secret_key_path
- Region
- Specify the region for the node. If using the EC2 Node Source it's possible to use
${node.region}and the region will be dynamically populated with the region for that node.
- Project setting: project.aws.region
- Configuration Management/Framework Setting: aws.region
EC2 VM Node Steps (Enterprise Only)
AWS / VM / Start
Start the EC2 instance.
AWS / VM / Stop
Start the EC2 instance.
AWS / VM / Restart
Start the EC2 instance.
AWS / VM / Delete
Terminate the EC2 instance.
Caution
Be very careful when using this step. It would be possible to remove a lot of instances by mistake if the node filter is too broad.
