AWS Scripts & Templates

A basic repository containing various useful CLI scripts and CloudFormation templates I've written and/or used previously. Some of these are used by my Jenkins servers to launch, update, and maintain various peices of my infrastructure. CLI code is needed to bridge the gap for peices that the CloudFormation API misses. Alternative suggestions welcome!

Requirements

Many of the examples here require these:

• yum install jq -y
• AWS CLI - Typically pip install awscli. You may need to yum install python-pip -y first.

AWS Scripts

Found in the ./scripts directory.

AWS Checks

Several (Nagios / Sensu / etc) checks used to evaluate AWS health. Found in the ./checks directory.

AWS Cloudformation Templates

There are two variations of templates available in the repo. ./templates/troposphere/* contains python templates that output to the correct JSON format. You can build the templates by running the ./build.sh script located in the troposhere directory.

Prebuilt versions of the JSON templates are available under ./templates/cloudformation/*.
