DescribeServers (new) Link ¶

Lists all configuration management servers that are identified with your account. Only the stored results from Amazon DynamoDB are returned. AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate does not query other services.

This operation is synchronous.

A ResourceNotFoundException is thrown when the server does not exist. A ValidationException is raised when parameters of the request are invalid.

See also: AWS API Documentation

Request Syntax

client.describe_servers(
    ServerName='string',
    NextToken='string',
    MaxResults=123
)
type ServerName

string

param ServerName

Describes the server with the specified ServerName.

type NextToken

string

param NextToken

NextToken is a string that is returned in some command responses. It indicates that not all entries have been returned, and that you must run at least one more request to get remaining items. To get remaining results, call DescribeServers again, and assign the token from the previous results as the value of the nextToken parameter. If there are no more results, the response object's nextToken parameter value is null . Setting a nextToken value that was not returned in your previous results causes an InvalidNextTokenException to occur.

type MaxResults

integer

param MaxResults

To receive a paginated response, use this parameter to specify the maximum number of results to be returned with a single call. If the number of available results exceeds this maximum, the response includes a NextToken value that you can assign to the NextToken request parameter to get the next set of results.

CreateBackup (new) Link ¶

Creates an application-level backup of a server. While the server is BACKING_UP , the server can not be modified and no additional backup can be created.

Backups can be created for RUNNING , HEALTHY and UNHEALTHY servers.

This operation is asnychronous.

By default 50 manual backups can be created.

A LimitExceededException is thrown then the maximum number of manual backup is reached. A InvalidStateException is thrown when the server is not in any of RUNNING, HEALTHY, UNHEALTHY. A ResourceNotFoundException is thrown when the server is not found. A ValidationException is thrown when parameters of the request are not valid.

DeleteServer (new) Link ¶

Deletes the server and the underlying AWS CloudFormation stack (including the server's EC2 instance). The server status updated to DELETING . Once the server is successfully deleted, it will no longer be returned by DescribeServer requests. If the AWS CloudFormation stack cannot be deleted, the server cannot be deleted.

This operation is asynchronous.

A InvalidStateException is thrown then a server is already deleting. A ResourceNotFoundException is thrown when the server does not exist. A ValidationException is raised when parameters of the request are invalid.

    ServerName='string'

CreateServer (new) Link ¶

Creates and immedately starts a new Server. The server can be used once it has reached the HEALTHY state.

This operation is asnychronous.

A LimitExceededException is thrown then the maximum number of server backup is reached. A ResourceAlreadyExistsException is raise when a server with the same name already exists in the account. A ResourceNotFoundException is thrown when a backupId is passed, but the backup does not exist. A ValidationException is thrown when parameters of the request are not valid.

By default 10 servers can be created. A LimitExceededException is raised when the limit is exceeded.

When no security groups are provided by using SecurityGroupIds , AWS OpsWorks creates a new security group. This security group opens the Chef server to the world on TCP port 443. If a KeyName is present, SSH access is enabled. SSH is also open to the world on TCP port 22.

By default, the Chef Server is accessible from any IP address. We recommend that you update your security group rules to allow access from known IP addresses and address ranges only. To edit security group rules, open Security Groups in the navigation pane of the EC2 management console.

The start time for a one-hour period during which AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate backs up application-level data on your server if backups are enabled. Valid values must be specified in one of the following formats:

  • HH:MM for daily backups

  • DDD:HH:MM for weekly backups

The specified time is in coordinated universal time (UTC). The default value is a random, daily start time.

Example: 08:00 , which represents a daily start time of 08:00 UTC.

Example: Mon:08:00 , which represents a start time of every Monday at 08:00 UTC. (8:00 a.m.)

type SecurityGroupIds

list

param SecurityGroupIds

A list of security group IDs to attach to the Amazon EC2 instance. If you add this parameter, the specified security groups must be within the VPC that is specified by SubnetIds .

If you do not specify this parameter, AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate creates one new security group that uses TCP ports 22 and 443, open to 0.0.0.0/0 (everyone).

  • (string) --

type ServiceRoleArn

string

param ServiceRoleArn

[REQUIRED]

The service role that the AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate service backend uses to work with your account. Although the AWS OpsWorks console typically creates the service role for you, in this release of AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate, run the service-role-creation.yaml AWS CloudFormation template, located at https://s3.amazonaws.com/opsworks-stuff/latest/service-role-creation.yaml. This template creates a stack that includes the service role that you need.

type SubnetIds

list

param SubnetIds

The IDs of subnets in which to launch the server EC2 instance.

Amazon EC2-Classic customers: This field is required. All servers must run within a VPC. The VPC must have "Auto Assign Public IP" enabled.

EC2-VPC customers: This field is optional. If you do not specify subnet IDs, your EC2 instances are created in a default subnet that is selected by Amazon EC2. If you specify subnet IDs, the VPC must have "Auto Assign Public IP" enabled.

For more information about supported Amazon EC2 platforms, see Supported Platforms.

type BackupId

If you specify this field, AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate creates the server by using the backup represented by BackupId.

RestoreServer (new) Link ¶

Restores a backup to a server that is in a RUNNING , FAILED , or HEALTHY state. When you run RestoreServer, the server's EC2 instance is deleted, and a new EC2 instance is configured. RestoreServer maintains the existing server endpoint, so configuration management of all of the server's client devices should continue to work.

This operation is asynchronous.

A InvalidStateException is thrown when the server is not in a valid state. A ResourceNotFoundException is thrown when the server does not exist. A ValidationException is raised when parameters of the request are invalid.

type NextToken

string

param NextToken

NextToken is a string that is returned in some command responses. It indicates that not all entries have been returned, and that you must run at least one more request to get remaining items. To get remaining results, call DescribeEvents again, and assign the token from the previous results as the value of the nextToken parameter. If there are no more results, the response object's nextToken parameter value is null . Setting a nextToken value that was not returned in your previous results causes an InvalidNextTokenException to occur.

type MaxResults

integer

param MaxResults

To receive a paginated response, use this parameter to specify the maximum number of results to be returned with a single call. If the number of available results exceeds this maximum, the response includes a NextToken value that you can assign to the NextToken request parameter to get the next set of results.

NextToken is a string that is returned in some command responses. It indicates that not all entries have been returned, and that you must run at least one more request to get remaining items. To get remaining results, call DescribeBackups again, and assign the token from the previous results as the value of the nextToken parameter. If there are no more results, the response object's nextToken parameter value is null . Setting a nextToken value that was not returned in your previous results causes an InvalidNextTokenException to occur.

type MaxResults

integer

param MaxResults

To receive a paginated response, use this parameter to specify the maximum number of results to be returned with a single call. If the number of available results exceeds this maximum, the response includes a NextToken value that you can assign to the NextToken request parameter to get the next set of results.
