yum-amazon Cookbook

The yum-amazon cookbook takes over management of the default repositoryids that ship with Amazon Linux systems. It allows attribute manipulation of amzn-main, amzn-main-debuginfo, amzn-nosrc, amzn-updates, amzn-updates-debuginfo, amzn-preview, and amzn-preview-debuginfo on Amazon Linux 1 sytems. It allows attribute manipulation of 'amzn2-core', 'amzn2-core-source', 'amzn2-core-debuginfo' on Amazon Linux 2 systems.

Recipes

• default - Walks through node attributes and feeds a yum_resource
• parameters. The following is an example a resource generated by the
• recipe during compilation.

  yum_repository 'amzn-main' do
    mirrorlist 'http://repo.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/$releasever/main/mirror.list'
    description 'amzn-main-Base'
    enabled true
    gpgcheck true
    gpgkey 'file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-amazon-ga'
  end

Usage Example

To disable the amzn-updates repository through a Role or Environment definition

default_attributes(
  :yum => {
    :amzn-updates => {
      :enabled => {
        false
       }
     }
   }
 )

Uncommonly used repositoryids are not managed by default. This is speeds up integration testing pipelines by avoiding yum-cache builds that nobody cares about. To enable the amzn-preview repository with a wrapper cookbook, place the following in a recipe:

node.default['yum']['amzn-preview']['managed'] = true
node.default['yum']['amzn-preview']['enabled'] = true

include_recipe 'yum-amazon'

More Examples

Point the base and updates repositories at an internally hosted server.

node.default['yum']['amzn-main']['enabled'] = true
node.default['yum']['amzn-main']['mirrorlist'] = nil
node.default['yum']['amzn-main']['baseurl'] = 'https://internal.example.com/amzn-main/os/x86_64'
node.default['yum']['amzn-main']['sslverify'] = false

include_recipe 'yum-amazon'
