# vmpooler-provider-aws
|
|
|
|
This is a provider for [VMPooler](https://github.com/puppetlabs/vmpooler) allows using aws to create instances, disks,
|
|
snapshots, or destroy instances for specific pools.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Include this gem in the same Gemfile that you use to install VMPooler itself and then define one or more pools with the `provider` key set to `aws`. VMPooler will take care of the rest.
|
|
See what configuration is needed for this provider in the [example file](https://github.com/puppetlabs/vmpooler-provider-aws/blob/main/vmpooler.yaml.example).
|
|
|
|
Examples of deploying VMPooler with extra providers can be found in the [puppetlabs/vmpooler-deployment](https://github.com/puppetlabs/vmpooler-deployment) repository.
|
|
|
|
aws authorization is handled via two required ENV vars
|
|
|
|
1. ABS_AWS_ACCESS_KEY
|
|
2. ABS_AWS_SECRET_KEY
|
|
|
|
### Provisioning the new nodes
|
|
|
|
When you add the pool config `provision: true` to a pool, the new VMs will also get initialized with extra steps to setup the sshd config via NET:SSH
|
|
These steps expect two environment vars
|
|
1. ROOT_KEYS_SCRIPT: (optional) the URI location of a script (eg https in github) that will be run to setup keys. If not set, this will be skipped
|
|
2. AWS_KEY_FILE_LOCATION: (required) the location on local disk where the ssh key resides for VMPooler to connect via SSH to the EC2 node
|
|
|
|
### DNS
|
|
AWS will setup a private ip and private dns hostname for the VM once running. Optionally we can setup a human readable DNS entry to resolve the VMPooler provider `spicy-proton` fqdn
|
|
|
|
DNS is integrated via Google's CloudDNS service.
|
|
GCE authorization is handled via a service account (or personal account) private key (json format) and can be configured via
|
|
|
|
1. GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable eg GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/my/home/directory/my_account_key.json
|
|
|
|
Provider config needed:
|
|
1. domain
|
|
2. project
|
|
3. dns_zone_resource_name
|
|
(see the example yaml file)
|
|
|
|
An A record is then created in that zone upon instance creation with the VM's internal IP, and deleted when the instance is destroyed.
|
|
|
|
### Labels
|
|
This provider adds tags to all resources that are managed
|
|
|
|
|resource|labels|note|
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
|instance|vm=$vm_name, pool=$pool_name|for example vm=foo-bar, pool=pool1|
|
|
|disk|vm=$vm_name, pool=$pool_name|for example vm=foo-bar and pool=pool1|
|
|
|snapshot|snapshot_name=$snapshot_name, vm=$vm_name, pool=$pool_name| for example snapshot_name=snap1, vm=foo-bar, pool=pool1|
|
|
|
|
Also see the usage of vmpooler's optional purge_unconfigured_resources, which is used to delete any resource found that
|
|
do not have the pool label, and can be configured to allow a specific list of unconfigured pool names.
|
|
|
|
### Pre-requisite
|
|
|
|
- An IAM user must exist in the target AWS account with permissions to create, delete vms etc
|
|
- if using DNS see section above, and a service account with permissions to change Cloud DNS need to exist
