AMI resource

Concourse resource for AWS AMIs that is very much based on this resource by the same name. A new resource was created because the old one has not been maintained in the last 12 months.

Source Configuration

• aws_access_key_id: Optional: Access key id if you are passing credentials.
• aws_secret_access_key: Optional: See above.
• aws_session_token: Optional: Use if your access/secret keys are temporary (assumed role/MFA authenticated).
• aws_region: Region where the images of interest live.
• filters: A map (name: value) of filters for your AMI. See AWS documentation for a list of possible filters and values.

Behaviour

check

Searches the provided region for AMIs that match the configured filters. Versions are determined by AMI ID, and ordered by creation date.

get

Fetches additional metadata about the AMI, in addition to two files:

• id: Plain text file with the AMI ID.
• packer.json: Packer friendly variable file: {"source_ami": "<ami-id>"}.

put

Not implemented. Use the packer-resource instead.

Example

The following example would check for new versions of Amazon Linux 2 every 1h and trigger the bake-concourse job whenever a new AMI (in Ireland) was found:

resource_types:
- name: ami
  type: docker-image
  source:
    repository: itsdalmo/ami-resource

resources:
- name: amazon2-ami
  type: ami
  check_every: 1h
  source:
    aws_access_key_id: ((aws-access-key))
    aws_secret_access_key: ((aws-secret-key))
    aws_session_token: ((aws-session-token))
    aws_region: eu-west-1
    filters:
      name: "amzn2-ami-hvm*gp2"
      owner-id: "137112412989"
      architecture: "x86_64"
      virtualization-type: "hvm"
      root-device-type: "ebs"

jobs:
- name: bake-concourse
  plan:
  - get: amazon2-ami
    trigger: true
