Recipes
chef_cfn::default
Installs dependencies
chef_cfn::awslogs
Install and configure the cloudwatch logs service
chef_cfn::cloudinit
Configure cloud-init in a more stripped down ec2-specific way. This recipe is mostly of use when packaging AMIs with Packer.
chef_cfn::handler
Install the CFN handler to callback to cloudformation on stack updates. Although this is still here, you'd likely be better off simply calling cfn-signal directly from user-data.
chef_cfn::knife
(optional) Provides a basic knife.rb
chef_cfn::ohai
Installs the aws-sdk chef_gem as well as the ohai[cfn] plugin.
When this runs, it will populate the properties, stack, tags and vpc attribute hashes under the node['cfn'] namespace which may then be used to report signals with the signal handler.
In addition, the properties hash will be merged, and potentially overriden, by any hints set in the cfn hint.
Required IAM policies
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "Stmt1434370036000", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "cloudformation:DescribeStackResource", "ec2:DescribeInstances" ], "Resource": [ "*" ] } ] }
chef_cfn::handler
Installs a handler to signal cloudformation of the success or failure of the chef run. When used with either Creation or Update profiles in cloudformation, we can ensure that only nodes with valid chef runs are considered healthy.
This may be disabled by setting node.cfn.tools.signal_cloudformation.
Required IAM policies
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "Stmt1434370036000", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "cloudformation:SignalResource", ], "Resource": [ "*" ] } ] }
Example Cloudformation
{ "AutoScailingGroup": { "CreationPolicy": { "ResourceSignal": { "Count": 1, "Timeout": "PT10M" } }, "UpdatePolicy": { "AutoScalingRollingUpdate": { "WaitOnResourceSignals": "true" } } } }
chef_cfn::mounts
Mounts cloudformation defined volumes.
Please take note that this recipe assumes that cloudformation was responsible to creating and managing the volumes, not chef. As such, all block devices must exist prior to attempting to mount them.
Example Cloudformation Attributes
{ "AutoScailingGroup": { "Metadata": { "Mounts": { "xvdb3": { "mount_point": "/var/log", "mount_options": "", "filesystem": "" } } } } }
chef_cfn::tools
Installs cloudformation cfn-init tools such as :
- cfn-init
- cfn-hup: Periodic polling of cloudformation resource metadata to determine when triggered actions should run.
chef_cfn::shutdown
Installs a service which will delete the node when the instance shuts down.
Resources
chef_cfn_signal
Provides an interface to trigger cloudformation signals from within recipes. This is designed to be used with cloudformation WaitConditions.
Actions
- signal: Default action
Attribute Parameters
- url: Url of the resource or WaitHandler to signal
- unique_id: Unique id of the notification
- data: Defaults to <code>""</code>.
- success: Defaults to <code>true</code>.
- reason: Defaults to <code>"Chef triggered signal from resource"</code>.
- once: Defaults to <code>true</code>.
Ohai Plugins
CFN
Fetches instance attributes from Cloudformation:DescribeResource as well as EC2:DescribeInstances.
