===================================
AWSTOOLS - high level tools for AWS
===================================

AWSTOOLS is a Python package that provide modules and commands to manage an
infrastructure on `Amazon Web Services `_.

Awstools is driven by a set of conventions and choices to makes system
operations simple to the most. Awstools is mainly focused on managing multiple
isolated social/web/mobile architectures.

Main conventions and choices:

- Using one of the Amazon Web Service is better than a custom solution
- Operation system: Ubuntu LTS or newer
- Configuration system: `Puppet `_

At the moment awstools supports:

- `CloudFormation `_

- **ApplicationSettings** (awstools.applications)
Describe your application by declaring a set of *Pool* per *Environment*

- **cfn**: List, Create, Update, Delete, Inspect
Manage your AWS resources based on ApplicationSettings and cloudformation
templates

- `EC2 `_

- **ec2ssh**:
Connect to one or multiple instances in a handy way

- **awstools.fabric.populate_roledefs**:
Populate Fabric roles with EC2 instances using the tags.
fab -R App-Role cmd_run_on_all_app-role-*_instances

Installation
============

::

pip install awstools

Configuration
=============

::

You must have a valid boto credentials provider to use the awstools.
See the `Boto tutorial `_.

- A **configuration file** is searched in this order:

1.
2. ./awstools.cfg
3. ~/.awstools.cfg
4. /etc/awstools.cfg

- An application settings file is searched in this order:

1. specified by --settings
2. specified by awstools configuration file

Testing
=======

Run the test with tox

::

tox -e py27

With nose

::

pip install -r requirements-test.txt
nosetests

Usage
=====

Command ec2ssh
--------------

::

$ ec2ssh MyInstanceByTagName
Welcome to Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.2.0-23-virtual x86_64)

$ ec2ssh App1-*,App2-*,App3-Role-test uptime

Configuration
-------------

::

[cfn]
settings = ~/cloudformation/applications.yaml
templatedir = ~/cloudformation

Applications Settings
---------------------

::

Application: gmail
ShortName: gm
KeyName: google-secretkey
live: True

template: storage.js
AvailabilityZones: us-east-1a,us-east-1b,us-east-1c

WebServerCapacity: 2
InstanceType: m1.small
test:
frontweb:
template: frontweb.js
AvailabilityZones: us-east-1a,us-east-1b
WebServerCapacity: 2

The application *gmail* has a production, a staging and a test environment.
An environment is defined by two pools: *storage* and *frontweb*.
However in test you mock the storage and don't need a *storage* pool.
All those settings will be available for the CloudFormation templates.
