Manage Launch Configurations

New in version 2014.7.0.

Create and destroy Launch Configurations. Be aware that this interacts with Amazon's services, and so may incur charges.

A limitation of this module is that you can not modify launch configurations once they have been created. If a launch configuration with the specified name exists, this module will always report success, even if the specified configuration doesn't match. This is due to a limitation in Amazon's launch configuration API, as it only allows launch configurations to be created and deleted.

Also note that a launch configuration that's in use by an autoscale group can not be deleted until the autoscale group is no longer using it. This may affect the way in which you want to order your states.

This module uses boto, which can be installed via package, or pip.

This module accepts explicit autoscale credentials but can also utilize IAM roles assigned to the instance through Instance Profiles. Dynamic credentials are then automatically obtained from AWS API and no further configuration is necessary. More information available here.

If IAM roles are not used you need to specify them either in a pillar file or in the minion's config file:

asg.keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
asg.key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs

It's also possible to specify key, keyid and region via a profile, either passed in as a dict, or as a string to pull from pillars or minion config:

myprofile:
    keyid: GKTADJGHEIQSXMKKRBJ08H
    key: askdjghsdfjkghWupUjasdflkdfklgjsdfjajkghs
    region: us-east-1

Credential information is shared with autoscale groups as launch configurations and autoscale groups are completely dependent on each other.

Ensure mylc exists:

    - image_id: ami-0b9c9f62
    - key_name: mykey
    - security_groups:

    - instance_type: m1.small
    - instance_monitoring: true
    - block_device_mappings:

    - cloud_init:
        scripts:
          'run_salt.sh': |
            #!/bin/bash

            add-apt-repository -y ppa:saltstack/salt

# Passing in a profile.
Ensure mylc exists:

        region: us-east-1
salt.states.boto_lc.absent(name, region=None, key=None, keyid=None, profile=None)

Ensure the named launch configuration is deleted.

key
Secret key to be used.
keyid
Access key to be used.
profile
A dict with region, key and keyid, or a pillar key (string) that contains a dict with region, key and keyid.
salt.states.boto_lc.present(name, image_id, key_name=None, security_groups=None, user_data=None, cloud_init=None, instance_type='m1.small', kernel_id=None, ramdisk_id=None, block_device_mappings=None, instance_monitoring=False, spot_price=None, instance_profile_name=None, ebs_optimized=False, associate_public_ip_address=None, volume_type=None, delete_on_termination=True, iops=None, use_block_device_types=False, region=None, key=None, keyid=None, profile=None)

Ensure the launch configuration exists.

name
Name of the launch configuration.
