AWS Cloud Provider for Idem
INSTALLATION
The aws idem provider can be installed via pip:
pip install "idem-aws [full]"
DEVELOPMENT
Clone the idem-aws repository and install with pip. Install extra requirements by specifying “localstack” or “full” in brackets (in ZSH you will have to escape the brackets).
git clone git@gitlab.com:saltstack/pop/idem-aws.git
pip install -e idem_aws[full] # [google_auth,localstack,full]
Set UP
After installation the AWS Idem Provider execution and state modules will be accessible to the pop hub. In order to use them we need to set up our credentials.
Create a new file called credentials.yaml and populate it with credentials. If you are using localstack, then the id and key can be bogus values. The default profile will be picked up automatically by idem.
There are many ways aws providers/profiles can be stored. See acct backends for more information.
There are multiple authentication backends for idem-aws which each have their own unique set of parameters. The following examples show some of the parameters that can be used in these backends to define profiles. All backends end up creating a boto3 session under the hood and storing it in the ctx variable that gets passed to all idem exec and state functions.
All authentication backends support two optional parameters, endpoint_url and provider_tag_key. The endpoint url is used to specify an alternate destination for boto3 calls, such as a localstack server or custom dynamodb server. The provider_tag_key is used when creating new resources. idem-aws will only interact with resources that are tagged with the the customizable provider_tag_key key.
credentials.yaml:
aws:
default:
endpoint_url: http://localhost:4566
use_ssl: False
aws_access_key_id: localstack
aws_secret_access_key: _
region_name: us-west-1
You can also authenticate with aws-google-auth if it is installed.
aws.gsuite:
my-staging-env:
username: user@gmail.com
password: this_is_available_but_avoid_it
role_arn: arn:aws:iam::999999999999999:role/xacct/developer
idp_id: 9999999
sp_id: 999999999999
region: us-east-1
duration: 36000
account: developer
The google profile example is not named default. To use it, it will need to be specified explicitly in an idem state.
ensure_resource_exists:
aws.ec2.vpc.present:
- acct_profile: my-staging-env
- name: idem_aws_vpc
- cidr_block: 10.0.0.0/24
It can also be specified from the command line when executing states.
idem state --acct-profile my-staging-env my_state.sls
It can also be specified from the command line when calling an exec module directly.
idem exec --acct-profile my-staging-env boto3.client.ec2.describe_vpcs
The last step to get up and running is to encrypt the credentials file and add the encryption key and encrypted file path to the ENVIRONMENT.
The acct command should be available as acct is a requisite of idem and idem-aws. Encrypt the the credential file.
acct encrypt credentials.yaml
output:
-A9ZkiCSOjWYG_lbGmmkVh4jKLFDyOFH4e4S1HNtNwI=
Add these to your environment:
export ACCT_KEY="-A9ZkiCSOjWYG_lbGmmkVh4jKLFDyOFH4e4S1HNtNwI="
export ACCT_FILE=$PWD/credentials.yaml.fernet
You are ready to use idem-aws!!!
LOCALSTACK
Localstack can be used to test idem-aws on your local machine without needing legitimate aws credentials. It can be used for running the idem-aws tests or for testing your states locally.
Install localstack with pip:
pip install "localstack [full]"
Start the localstack infrastructure:
localstack infra start
TESTING
In order to run the tests you must have a profile called “test_development_idem_aws” in your acct provider information. This can use localstack (recommended) or valid production aws credentials (at your own risk).
aws:
test_development_idem_aws:
endpoint_url: http://localhost:4566
use_ssl: False
aws_access_key_id: localstack
aws_secret_access_key: _
region_name: us-west-1
It’s recommended to run the tests using localstack (by specifying your localstack container address as your endpoint_url)
pytest idem-aws/tests
EXECUTION MODULES
Once everything has been set up properly, execution modules can be called directly by idem. Execution modules mirror the namespacing of the boto3.client and boto3.resource modules and have the same parameters.
For example, this is how you could list Vpcs from the command line with idem:
idem exec boto3.client.ec2.describe_vpcs
You can specify parameters as well. In the case of boto3 resources, args will be passed to the resource constructor and kwargs will be passed to the operation like so:
idem exec boto3.resource.ec2.Vpc.create_subnet vpc-71d00419 CidrBlock="10.0.0.0/24"
STATES
States are also accessed by their relative location in idem-aws/idem_aws/states. For example, idem-aws/idem_aws/states/aws/ec2/vpc.py contains a function absent(). In my state file I can create a state that uses the absent function like so.
my_state.sls:
idem_aws_test_vpc:
aws.ec2.vpc.absent:
- name: "idem_aws_test_vpc"
I can execute this state with:
idem state my_state.sls
idem state also has some flags that can significantly boost the scalability and performance of the run. Let’s use this new state which verifies that 100 vpcs are absent:
{% for i in range(100) %}
idem_aws_test_vpc_{{i}}:
aws.ec2.vpc.absent:
- name: "idem_aws_test_vpc_{{i}}"
{% endfor -%}
I can execute this state with –runtime parallel to make full use of idem’s async execution calls:
idem state --runtime parallel my_state.sls
