awsm

AWS Interface

http://awsm.cloud

Note: This is still in early beta. It is not recommended for use in production environments.

Intro

awsm is a CLI for building and maintaining your infrastructure on Amazon Web Services. It's designed to streamline many of the tasks involved with setting up and scaling infrastructure across multiple AWS Regions. It's goal is to introduce as few new concepts as possible, and provide powerful tools that require only a few inputs to use.

awsmDashboard is a web interface for configuring awsm. The configuration of Classes (see Features) are done though the web interface, and you can also see a list of all of your current AWS services through the Dashboard.

Features

Class (short for classification) is a group of settings for any AWS service, stored in a SimpleDB database by awsm. Classes can be used to bootstrap assets in any AWS region, allowing you to configure once, and run anywhere.

Propagation allows you to (optionally) copy/backup assets to other regions when you create them. Currently: EBS Snapshots, AMI Images, and Launch Configurations are available for propagation - allowing you to automatically have access to the latest versions of those as you create them.

Retention (also optional) is the number of previous versions of assets to retain. Older EBS Snapshots, AMI's, and Launch Configurations can be rotated out as new ones are created, automating the task of clearing them out. EBS Snapshots and AMI's that are referenced in existing Launch Configurations are never touched.

Installation

To install awsm, simply copy/paste the following command into your terminal:

curl -s http://dl.sudoba.sh/get/awsm | sh

Configuration

The first time you run awsm on a machine, it will ask you to provide an AWS Access ID and Secret Key. Once those are saved, it will create a simpleDB Domain named awsm if one does not already exist, and load the default starter awsm classes.

Note: When running awsm on an EC2 instance that was launched with an IAM Instance Profile, you will not need to enter your Key and Secret.
