packer-ec2-baker
================
Bake an AWS AMI in EC2 using [hashicorp/packer](https://www.packer.io/)
Wercker Box Requirement
-----------------------
[hashfyre/containers:packer](https://github.com/Hashfyre/containers/blob/packer/Dockerfile),
or, any docker box containing the following packages:
- awscli
- packer
- ansible
Example:
--------
```
:
box: hashfyre/containers:packer // or any box with necessary packages
steps:
- hashfyre/packer-ec2-baker:
aws_key: **OPTIONAL** // "$AWS_KEY"
aws_secret: **OPTIONAL** // "$AWS_SECRET"
ami_tag: **OPTIONAL** // "$AMI_TAG_KEY:$AMI_TAG_VALUE"// example: latest:xenial-16-04
ami_tag_delete: **OPTIONAL** // allowed values: [true | false] // default: false // set to "true", if tag from older AMI is to be deleted
packer_file: "$PATH_TO_PACKER_JSON_TEMPLATE.json" // packer/base.json // example
```
Optional AWS Creds
------------------
You may not specify `AWS_KEY` & `AWS_SECRET` in the step, however you'll have to
add these two variable in the `wercker` global app environment
or, in the pipeline environment.
Your packer definition would look like:
```
{
"description": "Builds xenial AMI",
"variables": {
"aws_access_key": "{{env `AWS_KEY`}}",
"aws_secret_key": "{{env `AWS_SECRET`}}",
"": "{{env `value`}}",
...
},
...
}
```
Please go through [Packer/amazon ami builder](https://www.packer.io/docs/builders/amazon.html)
for details on how to write a packer JSON template.
Optional AMI Tag Deletion for Old AMIs
--------------------------------------
In some cases you may want to have an image tagged with a unique sets of:
`:`, and if you're building a latest version of the same,
the older tag has to be deleted.
In these use-cases, optinally specify:
- `ami_tag`
- `ami_vpc_tag`
this'd find out the older ami with the same tag,
Specify:
- `ami_tag_delete`
to delete the old AMI tags once the new AMI is built.
