Zalando AMI generation tooling

Prerequisites

You need to have jq and AWS CLI preinstalled.

Build a new AMI

You need to be logged in (mai login). (As a configuration example, you can find the file config-stups-example.sh in the code base. You should modify it to suit it to your needs.)

$ ./create-ami.sh ./config-stups.sh

This will spin up a new server, configure it, create an AMI from it, terminate the server and share the AMI. If you want to debug the server after setup, you can add a --dry-run flag: AMI generation, terminating and sharing will be skipped.

$ ./create-ami.sh --dry-run ./config-stups.sh

See the STUPS documentation for more information.

Directory structure

• /build/ (scripts and files for the initial setup)
  • setup.d/ (all setup scripts that get executed on the server)
• /runtime/ (everything, that has to be present during runtime)
• /tests/ (contains various tests, such as python, serverspec and shell script tests)
