Using cloudformation is great, it gives you insane super powers but there are some small things that annoy me when using it in pipelines. My biggest issue is that it is not displaying the steps it takes in kind of real time’ish to stdout, so that’s where the following snippet will help.
The code What the output looks like [ { "StackId": "arn:aws:cloudformation:eu-west-1:368341477005:stack/tech-blog/2b819be0-28fe-11ea-8ab3-06e58f87e324", "EventId": "5816a850-3333-11ea-83e6-02bbe9b74d60", "StackName": "tech-blog", "LogicalResourceId": "tech-blog", "PhysicalResourceId": "arn:aws:cloudformation:eu-west-1:368341477005:stack/tech-blog/2b819be0-28fe-11ea-8ab3-06e58f87e324", "ResourceType": "AWS::CloudFormation::Stack", "Timestamp": "2020-01-09T22:57:00.
The oneliner: # This will delete all stacks in the account connected to yourprofile with the string "delete-me" in the stackname for StackName in $(aws --profile yourprofile cloudformation list-stacks --query 'StackSummaries[?contains(StackName, `delete-me`) == `true`] .StackName' --output text); do echo $StackName ; aws --profile yourprofile cloudformation delete-stack --stack-name $StackName ; done
In this session we'll take a look at Cloudformation the Infra As Code language for AWS and how to use it to build endlessly scalable infrastructure and make sure your stack can handle anything.
A super minimal urllib based arn constructor based on local metadata
import urllib.request # local ec2 arn: f = urllib.request.urlopen('http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/placement/availability-zone') az = f.read().decode('utf-8') f = urllib.request.urlopen('http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/instance-id') instance = f.read().decode('utf-8') arn = 'arn:aws:ec2:' + az + ':instance/' + instance print(arn) This returns arn as used by the EC2 Spot Instance Interruption Warning event
{ "version": "0", "id": "03a51c99-95cb-c6e8-03a8-3ce3ac402d64", "detail-type": "EC2 Spot Instance Interruption Warning", "source": "aws.ec2", "account": "763603311319", "time": "2018-09-16T13:17:10Z", "region": "eu-west-1", "resources": [ "arn:aws:ec2:eu-west-1b:instance/i-05493b58ebcba0c43" ], "detail": { "instance-id": "i-05493b58ebcba0c43", "instance-action": "terminate" } }
This simple oneliner gets you the latest ami in a given region for a specific search term.
# get the latest ecs-optimized amazon ami in eu-west-1 aws ec2 describe-images --region eu-west-1 --owners amazon --filters "Name=name,Values=*amazon-ecs-optimized" "Name=architecture,Values=x86_64" "Name=architecture,Values=x86_64" --query 'sort_by(Images, &CreationDate)[-1].ImageId' So lets break it down to give you what you need to get your favorite ami.
# Get the full ami list for name search term "*amazon-ecs-optimized" aws ec2 describe-images --region eu-west-1 --owners amazon --filters "Name=name,Values=*amazon-ecs-optimized" "Name=architecture,Values=x86_64" # this is searching for just the name, you could of course replace or expand this with other atributes like: aws ec2 describe-images --region eu-west-1 --owners amazon --filters "Name=name,Values=*amazon-ecs-optimized" "Name=architecture,Values=x86_64" "Name=block-device-mapping.
