boto3-cloudformation

CLI implementation that emulates basic aws cli functionality. As we do basic implementations for our "doers" we are going to open source the base implementations so others can benefit.

create stack

Create a stack with a web based template. This is a "sunny day" implementation, will probably be improved in future versions.

The help:

$ python create-stack.py -h
usage: create-stack.py [-h] --name NAME --templateurl TEMPLATEURL --params
                       PARAMS --topicarn TOPICARN [--log LOG] [--tags TAGS]
                       [--config CONFIG]

arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --name NAME           the name of the stack to create.
  --templateurl TEMPLATEURL
                        the url where the stack template can be fetched.
  --params PARAMS       the key value pairs for the parameters of the stack.
  --topicarn TOPICARN   the SNS topic arn for notifications to be sent to.
  --log LOG             which log level. DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, CRITICAL
  --tags TAGS           the tags to attach to the stack.
  --config CONFIG       the config file used for the application.

{ 'ParameterKey': 'string', 'ParameterValue': 'string', 'UsePreviousValue': True|False }

And an example:

$ python create-stack.py  --name newstack01  --templateurl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dronzebot/dronze-qlearn/master/cicd/cloudformation/ec2_instance_sg.json?token=AAY5LkQG0d0G4Uql5Y8T-74L2BuGjKfNks5Y7kTAwA%3D%3D --params "KeyName=dronze-oregon-dev&InstanceType=t2.small"   --tags "name=newstack01&roo=mar"    --topicarn arn:aws:sns:us-west-2:705212546939:dronze-qlearn-cf

delete stack

Delete an existing stack. Includes a simple parser to allow retained resources to be excluded as comma separated string.

The help:

python delete-stack.py -h
usage: delete-stack.py [-h] --name NAME [--retain RETAIN] [--log LOG]
                       [--config CONFIG]
arguments:
  -h, --help       show this help message and exit
  --name NAME      the name of the stack to create.
  --retain RETAIN  the names (comma separated) of the resources to retain.
  --log LOG        which log level. DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, CRITICAL
  --config CONFIG  the config file used for the application

And an example:

$ python delete-stack.py --name newstack01

using a custom configuration file

I don’t pass configurations on the CLI, to me the args on the CLI are about runtime not config. We have a config file that has the static configs in it:

AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=[my_access_key]
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=[my_secret_access]
AWS_REGION_NAME="us-west-2"
LOG_LEVEL="INFO"

Boto3 is capable of auto configuration, and it will behave like aws CLI and attempt to find configs from ~/.aws/credentials but if you want explicit configs that is available using the config option in the CLI. If you do this the debug level will default to INFO.
