kingpin.actors.aws.base

The AWS Actors allow you to interact with the resources (such as SQS and ELB) inside your Amazon AWS account. These actors all support dry runs properly, but each actor has its own caveats with dry=True. Please read the instructions below for using each actor.

Required Environment Variables

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID:
 Your AWS access key
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY:
 Your AWS secret

CloudFormation

kingpin.actors.aws.cloudformation

class kingpin.actors.aws.cloudformation.Create(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Creates a CloudFormation stack.

Creates a CloudFormation stack from scratch and waits until the stack is fully built before exiting the actor.

Options

Capabilities:A list of CF capabilities to add to the stack.
Disable_rollback:
 Set to True to disable rollback of the stack if creation failed.
Name:The name of the queue to create
Parameters:A dictionary of key/value pairs used to fill in the parameters for the CloudFormation template.
Region:AWS region (or zone) string, like ‘us-west-2’
Template:String of path to CloudFormation template. Can either be in the form of a local file path (ie, /my_template.json) or a URI (ie https://my_site.com/cf.json).
Timeout_in_minutes:
 The amount of time that can pass before the stack status becomes CREATE_FAILED.

Examples

{ "desc": "Create production backend stack",
  "actor": "aws.cloudformation.Create",
  "options": {
    "capabilities": [ "CAPABILITY_IAM" ],
    "disable_rollback": true,
    "name": "%CF_NAME%",
    "parameters": {
      "test_param": "%TEST_PARAM_NAME%",
    },
    "region": "us-west-1",
    "template": "/examples/cloudformation_test.json",
    "timeout_in_minutes": 45,
  }
}

Dry Mode

Validates the template, verifies that an existing stack with that name does not exist. Does not create the stack.

class kingpin.actors.aws.cloudformation.Delete(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Deletes a CloudFormation stack

Options

Name:The name of the queue to create
Region:AWS region (or zone) string, like ‘us-west-2’

Examples

{ "desc": "Create production backend stack",
  "actor": "aws.cloudformation.Create",
  "options" {
    "region": "us-west-1",
    "name": "%CF_NAME%",
  }
}

Dry Mode

Validates that the CF stack exists, but does not delete it.

Elastic Load Balancing (ELB)

kingpin.actors.aws.elb

class kingpin.actors.aws.elb.WaitUntilHealthy(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Wait indefinitely until a specified ELB is considered “healthy”.

This actor will loop infinitely until a healthy threshold of the ELB is met. The threshold can be reached when the count as specified in the options is less than or equal to the number of InService instances in the ELB.

Another situation is for count to be a string specifying a percentage (see examples). In this case the percent of InService instances has to be greater than the count percentage.

Options

Name:The name of the ELB to operate on
Count:Number, or percentage of InService instance to consider this ELB healthy
Region:AWS region (or zone) name, such as us-east-1 or us-west-2

Examples

{ "actor": "aws.elb.WaitUntilHealthy",
  "desc": "Wait until production-frontend has 16 hosts",
  "options": {
    "name": "production-frontend",
    "count": 16,
    "region": "us-west-2"
  }
}
{ "actor": "aws.elb.WaitUntilHealthy",
  "desc": "Wait until production-frontend has 85% of hosts in-service",
  "options": {
    "name": "production-frontend",
    "count": "85%",
    "region": "us-west-2"
  }
}

Dry Mode

This actor performs the finding of the ELB as well as calculating its health at all times. The only difference in dry mode is that it will not re-count the instances if the ELB is not healthy. A log message will be printed indicating that the run is dry, and the actor will exit with success.

class kingpin.actors.aws.elb.SetCert(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Find a server cert in IAM and use it for a specified ELB.

Options

Region:(str) AWS region (or zone) name, like us-west-2
Name:(str) Name of the ELB
Cert_name:(str) Unique IAM certificate name, or ARN
Port:(int) Port associated with the cert. (default: 443)

Example

{ "actor": "aws.elb.SetCert",
  "desc": "Run SetCert",
  "options": {
    "cert_name": "new-cert",
    "name": "some-elb",
    "region": "us-west-2"
  }
}

Dry run

Will check that ELB and Cert names are existent, and will also check that the credentials provided for AWS have access to the new cert for ssl.

class kingpin.actors.aws.elb.RegisterInstance(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Add an EC2 instance to a load balancer.

Options

Elb:(str) Name of the ELB
Instances:(str, list) Instance id, or list of ids. Default “self” id.

    "elb": "prod-loadbalancer",
    "instances": "i-123456",
    "region": "us-east-1",
  }
}

Dry run

Will find the specified ELB, but not take any actions regarding instances.

class kingpin.actors.aws.elb.DeregisterInstance(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Remove EC2 instance(s) from an ELB.

Options

Elb:(str) Name of the ELB
Instances:(str, list) Instance id, or list of ids
Region:(str) AWS region (or zone) name, like us-west-2

Example

{ "actor": "aws.elb.DeregisterInstance",
  "desc": "Run DeregisterInstance",
  "options": {
    "elb": "fill-in",
    "instances": "fill-in",
    "region": "fill-in"
  }
}

Dry run

Note: even if it`s not empty

Options

Name:(str) The name of the queue to destroy

class kingpin.actors.aws.sqs.WaitUntilEmpty(*args, **kwargs)[source]

Wait indefinitely until for SQS queues to become empty

This actor will loop infinitely as long as the count of messages in at least one queue is greater than zero. SQS does not guarantee exact count, so this can return a stale value if the number of messages in the queue changes rapidly.

Options

Name:(str) The name or regex pattern of the queues to operate on
Region:(str) AWS region (or zone) string, like ‘us-west-2’
Required:(bool) Fail if no matching queues are found. (default: False)

  "options": {
    "name": "release-0025a",
    "region": "us-east-1",
    "required": true
  }
}

Dry Mode

This actor performs the finding of the queue, but will pretend that the count is 0 and return success. Will fail even in dry mode if required option is set to True and no queues with the name pattern are found.
