bootstrap tagging options about chef-provisioning-aws HOT 7 CLOSED

We definitely should, this is essential functionality for our own internal project tracking.

from chef-provisioning-aws.

kitchen-ec2 handles this by having a config[:tags] element that is auto populated with {:created_by => 'Test Kitchen'} but can be expanded with user supplied tags.

I think we could do something similar. @fnichol suggested having users supply this to the with_driver block because these tags will apply to more than just machines. They apply to most AWS objects.

+1, we use this for elastic search's EC2 discovery.

I see there is now tagging being implemented in #190. I'd expect the next version of the gem would include this.

However, in the meantime I've just built chef-provisioning-1.2.0.dev.0.gem and the provisioning of EC2 instances successfully tagged them.

machine node['my_cookbook']['fqdn'] do
  machine_options({
    :aws_tags => {:MyKey => 'MyValue', :AnotherKey => 'AnotherValue'},
    :use_private_ip_for_ssh => true,
    :associate_public_ip_address => false,
    :source_key => node['my_cookbook']['aws_ssh_key_path'],
    :bootstrap_options => {
      :availability_zone => node['my_cookbook']['AZ'],
      :subnet_id => node['my_cookbook']['subnet'],
      :security_group_ids => [
        node['my_cookbook']['secgroups']['default']
      ],
      :private_ip_address => node['my_cookbook']['ip_address'],
      :key_name => node['my_cookbook']['aws_ssh_key_id'],
      :instance_type => node['my_cookbook']['instance_type']
    },
    :image_id => node['my_cookbook']['ami']
  })
end

Glad it worked! I've added several specs to cover multiple cases. I merged #190 sometime last week, so it will be included in the next release.

from chef-provisioning-aws.

I'm looking to get a release out this week, but I keep putting it off because there are some conflicting dependencies in the ChefDK that I'll have to do the sacred Conflicting Dependency Dance to solve

This fix was released and is currently in 1.3.x branch of CPA
