Powershell Create AMI by Name

from https://www.yobyot.com/aws/how-to-tag-amis-and-snapshots-with-aws-powershell-cmdlets/2014/10/21/

Takes an instance tag and creates an AWS snapshot and AMI.

To just take an AMI of the root disk (i.e. C drive) use CreateRootAMIbyName.ps1

To sysprep the server so EC2 administrator password can be obtained from the AWS console

make sure sysprep-ec2config.ps1 is on the server in the C:/Users/Administrator folder.
run first the RunSysprep.ps1 script before the CreateAMIbyName.ps1 or CreateRootAMIbyName.ps1 script.
RunSysprep.ps1 accepts an optional parameter where the script name can be specified if differently named.

This can be specified in a Jenkins pipeline via:

pipeline {
     agent any
     parameters {
        choice(choices: ['servera','serverb'],
        description: 'What EC2 Instance?', name: 'instanceNameTag')
        string(defaultValue: "backup", description: 'What comment?', name: 'note')
        booleanParam(name: 'snapebs', defaultValue: false, description: 'Snapshot attached EBS Disks? ')
     }
     stages {
         stage ('CreateAMIByName') {
             steps {
                 script {
                     git branch: 'master',
                        url: 'https://github.com/neillturner/powershell-CreateAMIbyName.git'
                     powershell returnStatus: true, script: ".\\RunSysprep.ps1 -instanceNameTag ${params.instanceNameTag}"
                     powershell returnStatus: true, script: ".\\CreateRootAMIbyName.ps1 -instanceNameTag ${params.instanceNameTag} -note ${params.note}  -snapebs \$${params.snapebs} "
                 }
             }
         }
     }
}
