jenkins-update-ec2-ami

Automate building of the Jenkins EC2 AMI

Usage

In a Jenkinsfile:

node {
 sh './packer build -color=false jenkins_agent_ami.json'
 sh 'JENKINS_API_USERNAME="packer" JENKINS_API_TOKEN="SECRETPASSWORD" python update-ec2-ami.py'
}

EC2_CLOUD_INSTANCE is the name of the Amazong EC2 cloud in the plugin (as seen in the screenshot below). AMI_PROFILE_NAME is the AMI’s “Description” in the EC2 plugin.
