Manage Launch Configurations

Create and destroy Launch Configurations. Be aware that this interacts with Amazon's services, and so may incur charges.

A limitation of this module is that you can not modify launch configurations once they have been created. If a launch configuration with the specified name exists, this module will always report success, even if the specified configuration doesn't match. This is due to a limitation in Amazon's launch configuration API, as it only allows launch configurations to be created and deleted.

Also note that a launch configuration that's in use by an autoscale group can not be deleted until the autoscale group is no longer using it. This may affect the way in which you want to order your states.

This module uses boto, which can be installed via package, or pip.

This module accepts explicit autoscale credentials but can also utilize IAM roles assigned to the instance through Instance Profiles. Dynamic credentials are then automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More information available here.

If IAM roles are not used you need to specify them either in a pillar file or in the minion's config file:

asg.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
asg.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

It's also possible to specify key, keyid and region via a profile, either passed in as a dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

myprofile:
    keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
    key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs
    region: us-east-1

Credential information is shared with autoscale groups as launch configurations and autoscale groups are completely dependent on each other.

Ensure mylc exists:

    - name: mylc
    - image_id: ami-0b9c9f62
    - key_name: mykey
    - security_groups:

            size: 20
            volume_type: 'io1'
            iops: 220
            delete_on_termination: true
    - cloud_init:

# Using a profile from pillars.
Ensure mylc exists:

    - profile: myprofile

# Passing in a profile.
Ensure mylc exists:

salt.states.boto_lc.absent(name, region=None, key=None, keyid=None, profile=None)

Ensure the named launch configuration is deleted.

name

Name of the launch configuration.

region

The region to connect to.

key

Secret key to be used.

keyid

Access key to be used.

profile

A dict with region, key and keyid, or a pillar key (string) that contains a dict with region, key and keyid.

salt.states.boto_lc.present(name, image_id, key_name=None, vpc_id=None, vpc_name=None, security_groups=None, user_data=None, cloud_init=None, instance_type='m1.small', kernel_id=None, ramdisk_id=None, block_device_mappings=None, delete_on_termination=None, instance_monitoring=False, spot_price=None, instance_profile_name=None, ebs_optimized=False, associate_public_ip_address=None, region=None, key=None, keyid=None, profile=None)

Ensure the launch configuration exists.

name

Name of the launch configuration.

image_id

AMI to use for instances. AMI must exist or creation of the launch configuration will fail.

key_name

Name of the EC2 key pair to use for instances. Key must exist or creation of the launch configuration will fail.

vpc_id

The VPC id where the security groups are defined. Only necessary when using named security groups that exist outside of the default VPC. Mutually exclusive with vpc_name.

vpc_name

Name of the VPC where the security groups are defined. Only Necessary when using named security groups that exist outside of the default VPC. Mutually exclusive with vpc_id.

security_groups

List of Names or security group id’s of the security groups with which to associate the EC2 instances or VPC instances, respectively. Security groups must exist, or creation of the launch configuration will fail.

user_data

The user data available to launched EC2 instances.

cloud_init

A dict of cloud_init configuration. Currently supported keys: boothooks, scripts and cloud-config. Mutually exclusive with user_data.

instance_type

The instance type. ex: m1.small.

kernel_id

The kernel id for the instance.

ramdisk_id

The RAM disk ID for the instance.

block_device_mappings

A dict of block device mappings that contains a dict with volume_type, delete_on_termination, iops, size, encrypted, snapshot_id.

volume_type

Indicates what volume type to use. Valid values are standard, io1, gp2. Default is standard.

delete_on_termination

Whether the volume should be explicitly marked for deletion when its instance is terminated (True), or left around (False). If not provided, or None is explicitly passed, the default AWS behaviour is used, which is True for ROOT volumes of instances, and False for all others.

iops

For Provisioned IOPS (SSD) volumes only. The number of I/O operations per second (IOPS) to provision for the volume.

size

Desired volume size (in GiB).

encrypted

Indicates whether the volume should be encrypted. Encrypted EBS volumes must be attached to instances that support Amazon EBS encryption. Volumes that are created from encrypted snapshots are automatically encrypted. There is no way to create an encrypted volume from an unencrypted snapshot or an unencrypted volume from an encrypted snapshot.

instance_monitoring

Whether instances in group are launched with detailed monitoring.

spot_price

The spot price you are bidding. Only applies if you are building an autoscaling group with spot instances.

ebs_optimized

Specifies whether the instance is optimized for EBS I/O (true) or not (false).

associate_public_ip_address

Used for Auto Scaling groups that launch instances into an Amazon Virtual Private Cloud. Specifies whether to assign a public IP address to each instance launched in a Amazon VPC.

region

The region to connect to.

key

Secret key to be used.

keyid

Access key to be used.

profile

A dict with region, key and keyid, or a pillar key (string) that contains a dict with region, key and keyid.
