AWS Setup Instructions

Get AWS API credentials

  1. AWS credentials documentation

Create a credentials file

  1. Create a credentials file (eg ~/.aws_creds) that looks something like this (variables must have have these exact names).
   export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID='AKIASTUFF'
   export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY='STUFF'
  1. source this file
  source ~/.aws_creds

Note: You must source this file in each shell that you want to run cloud.rb

(Optional) Setup your $HOME/.ssh/config file

In case of a cluster creation, or any other case where you don't know the machine hostname in advance, you can use '.ssh/config' to setup a private key file to allow ansible to connect to the created hosts.

To do so, add the the following entry to your $HOME/.ssh/config file and make it point to the private key file which allows you to login on AWS. ''' Host *.compute-1.amazonaws.com PrivateKey $HOME/.ssh/my_private_key.pem '''

Alternatively, you can configure your ssh-agent to hold the credentials to connect to your AWS instances.

Install Dependencies

  1. Ansible requires python-boto for aws operations: RHEL/CentOS/Fedora
  yum install -y ansible python-boto

OSX:

  pip install -U boto

Test The Setup

  1. cd openshift-ansible
  2. Try to list all instances:
  ./cloud.rb aws list
