AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate

2017/03/06 - AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate - 5 updated api methods

Changes  OpsWorks for Chef Automate has added a new field "AssociatePublicIpAddress" to the CreateServer request, "CloudFormationStackArn" to the Server model and "TERMINATED" server state.

CreateServer (updated) Link ¶
Changes (request, response)
Request
{'AssociatePublicIpAddress': 'boolean'}
Response
{'Server': {'AssociatePublicIpAddress': 'boolean',
            'CloudFormationStackArn': 'string',
            'Status': {'TERMINATED', 'RESTORING'}}}

Creates and immedately starts a new server. The server is ready to use when it is in the HEALTHY state. By default, you can create a maximum of 10 servers.

This operation is asynchronous.

A LimitExceededException is thrown when you have created the maximum number of servers (10). A ResourceAlreadyExistsException is thrown when a server with the same name already exists in the account. A ResourceNotFoundException is thrown when you specify a backup ID that is not valid or is for a backup that does not exist. A ValidationException is thrown when parameters of the request are not valid.

If you do not specify a security group by adding the SecurityGroupIds parameter, AWS OpsWorks creates a new security group. The default security group opens the Chef server to the world on TCP port 443. If a KeyName is present, AWS OpsWorks enables SSH access. 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.

    • Value (string) --

      The value of the engine attribute.

type BackupRetentionCount

integer

param BackupRetentionCount

The number of automated backups that you want to keep. Whenever a new backup is created, AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate deletes the oldest backups if this number is exceeded. The default value is 1 .

type ServerName

string

param ServerName

[REQUIRED]

The name of the server. The server name must be unique within your AWS account, within each region. Server names must start with a letter; then letters, numbers, or hyphens (-) are allowed, up to a maximum of 40 characters.

type InstanceProfileArn

string

param InstanceProfileArn

[REQUIRED]

The ARN of the instance profile that your Amazon EC2 instances use. Although the AWS OpsWorks console typically creates the instance profile for you, if you are using API commands instead, run the service-role-creation.yaml AWS CloudFormation template, located at https://s3.amazonaws.com/opsworks-cm-us-east-1-prod-default-assets/misc/opsworks-cm-roles.yaml. This template creates a CloudFormation stack that includes the instance profile you need.

type InstanceType

string

param InstanceType

[REQUIRED]

The Amazon EC2 instance type to use. Valid values must be specified in the following format: ^([cm][34]|t2).* For example, m4.large . Valid values are t2.medium , m4.large , or m4.2xlarge .

type KeyPair

string

param KeyPair

The Amazon EC2 key pair to set for the instance. This parameter is optional; if desired, you may specify this parameter to connect to your instances by using SSH.

type PreferredMaintenanceWindow

string

param PreferredMaintenanceWindow

The start time for a one-hour period each week during which AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate performs maintenance on the instance. Valid values must be specified in the following format: DDD:HH:MM . The specified time is in coordinated universal time (UTC). The default value is a random one-hour period on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Friday. See TimeWindowDefinition for more information.

type PreferredBackupWindow

string

param PreferredBackupWindow

The start time for a one-hour period during which AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate backs up application-level data on your server if automated 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 management console typically creates the service role for you, if you are using the AWS CLI or API commands, 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 CloudFormation 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.

  • (string) --

type BackupId

string

param BackupId

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

)
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.

Updates engine-specific attributes on a specified server. The server enters the MODIFYING state when this operation is in progress. Only one update can occur at a time. You can use this command to reset the Chef server's private key ( CHEF_PIVOTAL_KEY ).

This operation is asynchronous.

This operation can only be called for servers in HEALTHY or UNHEALTHY states. Otherwise, an InvalidStateException is raised. A ResourceNotFoundException is thrown when the server does not exist. A ValidationException is raised when parameters of the request are not valid.
