When allocating/removing machine in AWS/EC2 from command-line, there are many non-trivial options in the 'aws-cli' command. This project provides a simplified variant.
The 'resalloc-aws-new' script is able to (a) start the machine, (b) wait till SSH is available and (c) run a specified playbook.
The 'resalloc-aws-delete' removes the machine started by 'resalloc-aws-new' script.
The scripts provide the compatible API with closely related to Resalloc [1] project:
- The '*-new' script either succeeds (provides the specified, configured, and fully working machine) or fails (and all the byproducts are cleaned-up from EC2).
- Upon '*-new' success, the IP address of the machine is printed to stdout.
- The '*-delete' script does it's best to remove the selected machine, even repetitively (to avoid paying for unused resources).
Just do: $ dnf install resalloc-aws (Fedora or EPEL).
Pre-release RPMs are available in
dnf copr enable praiskup/resalloc
