CloudFish
CloudFish is a module for an aws lambda function to invoke scripts on ec2 instances via ssh.
Aws
CloudFish uses ec2 instance tags to identify a pool of servers and uses the first availalbe within that pool to run a command.
The following should be set up within your aws account.
- An S3 bucket should be created to hold the ssh key to enable access to the ec2 instance.
- The pool of ec2 instances should be tagged with a given name/value.
- The lambda function user role should have read permissions to the ec2 instances to obtain a list of instances filtered by tag.
- The lambda function user role should have read permissions to the S3 bucket holding the key.
Sample lambda function.
To make use of cloudfish the following sample function can be used.
const cloudfish = require('cloudfish');
exports.handler = (event, context, callback) => {
cloudfish({
tagName: 'my-tag-name',
tagValue: 'my-tag-value',
s3Bucket: 'my-ssh-keys',
s3Key: 'project/dev.pem',
command: 'echo "And I, for one welcome our new insect overlords."'
})
.then(function(response) {
callback(null, response);
})
.catch(function(err) {
console.log(err.stack);
callback(err.stack);
});
};
