AWS CLI role

A simple role to configure your instance for a set of users to use aws cli [ could do somthing simlar with IAM roles of course ...]

Requirements

A valid set of:

• AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
• AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY

And preferably:

• AWS_REGION

Usually it will be used via group_vars/all with something like the following:

aws_region: "{{ lookup('env','AWS_REGION') }}"
aws_access_key: "{{ lookup('env','AWS_ACCESS_KEY') }}"
aws_secret_key: "{{ lookup('env','AWS_SECRET_KEY') }}"

Role Variables

• aws_cli_user: "{{ common_user | d('root') }}"
• aws_cli_group: "{{ common_group | d('root') }}"
• aws_output_format: 'json'
• aws_region: "{{ aws_region }}"
• aws_access_key_id: "{{ aws_access_key }}"
• aws_secret_access_key: "{{ aws_secret_key }}"

Dependencies

None, But I would recommend using with shelleg.common

Example Playbook

Including an example of how to use your role (for instance, with variables passed in as parameters) is always nice for users too:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - role: shelleg.aws_cli

Could be used with shelleg.common like so:

- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - role: shelleg.common
       common_sudoer: false
       common_user: foo
       common_group: bar
       common_home_dir: "/home/{{ * common_user }}"
       common_pubkey: 'asldkjaslkdja...'
     - role: shelleg.aws_cli
       aws_cli_user: "{{ common_user }}"
       aws_cli_group: "{{ common_group }}"
