+ # Contributor Code of Conduct
2
+
3
+ As contributors and maintainers of this project, and in the interest of
4
+ fostering an open and welcoming community, we pledge to respect all people who
5
+ contribute through reporting issues, posting feature requests, updating
6
+ documentation, submitting pull requests or patches, and other activities.
7
+
8
+ We are committed to making participation in this project a harassment-free
9
+ experience for everyone, regardless of level of experience, gender, gender
10
+ identity and expression, sexual orientation, disability, personal appearance,
11
+ body size, race, ethnicity, age, religion, or nationality.
12
+
13
+ Examples of unacceptable behavior by participants include:
14
+
15
+ * The use of sexualized language or imagery
16
+ * Personal attacks
17
+ * Trolling or insulting/derogatory comments
18
+ * Public or private harassment
19
+ * Publishing other's private information, such as physical or electronic
20
+ addresses, without explicit permission
21
+ * Other unethical or unprofessional conduct
22
+
23
+ Project maintainers have the right and responsibility to remove, edit, or
24
+ reject comments, commits, code, wiki edits, issues, and other contributions
25
+ that are not aligned to this Code of Conduct, or to ban temporarily or
26
+ permanently any contributor for other behaviors that they deem inappropriate,
27
+ threatening, offensive, or harmful.
28
+
29
+ By adopting this Code of Conduct, project maintainers commit themselves to
30
+ fairly and consistently applying these principles to every aspect of managing
31
+ this project. Project maintainers who do not follow or enforce the Code of
32
+ Conduct may be permanently removed from the project team.
33
+
34
+ This code of conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces
35
+ when an individual is representing the project or its community.
36
+
37
+ Instances of abusive, harassing, or otherwise unacceptable behavior may be
38
+ reported by contacting a project maintainer at ed@edropple.com. All
39
+ complaints will be reviewed and investigated and will result in a response that
40
+ is deemed necessary and appropriate to the circumstances. Maintainers are
41
+ obligated to maintain confidentiality with regard to the reporter of an
42
+ incident.
43
+
44
+ This Code of Conduct is adapted from the [Contributor Covenant][homepage],
45
+ version 1.3.0, available at

+ (an example is provided in the Appendix below).
39
+
40
+ "Derivative Works" shall mean any work, whether in Source or Object
41
+ form, that is based on (or derived from) the Work and for which the
42
+ editorial revisions, annotations, elaborations, or other modifications
43
+ represent, as a whole, an original work of authorship. For the purposes
44
+ of this License, Derivative Works shall not include works that remain

+ separable from, or merely link (or bind by name) to the interfaces of,
46
+ the Work and Derivative Works thereof.
47
+
48
+ "Contribution" shall mean any work of authorship, including

+ to that Work or Derivative Works thereof, that is intentionally
51

52
+ or by an individual or Legal Entity authorized to submit on behalf of

+
73
+ 3. Grant of Patent License. Subject to the terms and conditions of

76
+ (except as stated in this section) patent license to make, have made,
77
+ use, offer to sell, sell, import, and otherwise transfer the Work,

79
+ by such Contributor that are necessarily infringed by their
80
+ Contribution(s) alone or by combination of their Contribution(s)
81
+ with the Work to which such Contribution(s) was submitted. If You
82
+ institute patent litigation against any entity (including a
83
+ cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Work
84
+ or a Contribution incorporated within the Work constitutes direct
85
+ or contributory patent infringement, then any patent licenses
86
+ granted to You under this License for that Work shall terminate
87
+ as of the date such litigation is filed.
88
+
89
+ 4. Redistribution. You may reproduce and distribute copies of the
90
+ Work or Derivative Works thereof in any medium, with or without
91
+ modifications, and in Source or Object form, provided that You
92
+ meet the following conditions:
93
+
94
+ (a) You must give any other recipients of the Work or
95
+ Derivative Works a copy of this License; and
96
+
97
+ (b) You must cause any modified files to carry prominent notices
98
+ stating that You changed the files; and
99
+
100
+ (c) You must retain, in the Source form of any Derivative Works
101
+ that You distribute, all copyright, patent, trademark, and
102
+ attribution notices from the Source form of the Work,
103
+ excluding those notices that do not pertain to any part of
104
+ the Derivative Works; and
105
+
106
+ (d) If the Work includes a "NOTICE" text file as part of its
107
+ distribution, then any Derivative Works that You distribute must
108
+ include a readable copy of the attribution notices contained
109
+ within such NOTICE file, excluding those notices that do not
110
+ pertain to any part of the Derivative Works, in at least one
111
+ of the following places: within a NOTICE text file distributed
112
+ as part of the Derivative Works; within the Source form or
113
+ documentation, if provided along with the Derivative Works; or,
114
+ within a display generated by the Derivative Works, if and
115
+ wherever such third-party notices normally appear. The contents
116
+ of the NOTICE file are for informational purposes only and
117
+ do not modify the License. You may add Your own attribution
118
+ notices within Derivative Works that You distribute, alongside
119
+ or as an addendum to the NOTICE text from the Work, provided
120
+ that such additional attribution notices cannot be construed
121
+ as modifying the License.
122
+
123
+ You may add Your own copyright statement to Your modifications and
124
+ may provide additional or different license terms and conditions
125
+ for use, reproduction, or distribution of Your modifications, or
126
+ for any such Derivative Works as a whole, provided Your use,
127
+ reproduction, and distribution of the Work otherwise complies with
128
+ the conditions stated in this License.
129
+
130
+ 5. Submission of Contributions. Unless You explicitly state otherwise,
131
+ any Contribution intentionally submitted for inclusion in the Work
132
+ by You to the Licensor shall be under the terms and conditions of
133
+ this License, without any additional terms or conditions.
134
+ Notwithstanding the above, nothing herein shall supersede or modify
135
+ the terms of any separate license agreement you may have executed
136
+ with Licensor regarding such Contributions.
137
+
138
+ 6. Trademarks. This License does not grant permission to use the trade
139
+ names, trademarks, service marks, or product names of the Licensor,
140
+ except as required for reasonable and customary use in describing the
141
+ origin of the Work and reproducing the content of the NOTICE file.
142
+
143
+ 7. Disclaimer of Warranty. Unless required by applicable law or
144
+ agreed to in writing, Licensor provides the Work (and each
145
+ Contributor provides its Contributions) on an "AS IS" BASIS,
146
+ WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or
147
+ implied, including, without limitation, any warranties or conditions
148
+ of TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, or FITNESS FOR A
149
+ PARTICULAR PURPOSE. You are solely responsible for determining the
150
+ appropriateness of using or redistributing the Work and assume any
151
+ risks associated with Your exercise of permissions under this License.
152
+
153
+ 8. Limitation of Liability. In no event and under no legal theory,
154
+ whether in tort (including negligence), contract, or otherwise,
155
+ unless required by applicable law (such as deliberate and grossly
156
+ negligent acts) or agreed to in writing, shall any Contributor be
157
+ liable to You for damages, including any direct, indirect, special,
158
+ incidental, or consequential damages of any character arising as a
159
+ result of this License or out of the use or inability to use the
160
+ Work (including but not limited to damages for loss of goodwill,
161
+ work stoppage, computer failure or malfunction, or any and all
162
+ other commercial damages or losses), even if such Contributor
163
+ has been advised of the possibility of such damages.
164
+
165
+ 9. Accepting Warranty or Additional Liability. While redistributing
166
+ the Work or Derivative Works thereof, You may choose to offer,
167
+ and charge a fee for, acceptance of support, warranty, indemnity,
168
+ or other liability obligations and/or rights consistent with this
169
+ License. However, in accepting such obligations, You may act only
170
+ on Your own behalf and on Your sole responsibility, not on behalf
171
+ of any other Contributor, and only if You agree to indemnify,
172
+ defend, and hold each Contributor harmless for any liability
173
+ incurred by, or claims asserted against, such Contributor by reason
174
+ of your accepting any such warranty or additional liability.

+ # Amigrind #
2
+ Amigrind is a tool for constructing Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) for use within Amazon AWS. Building upon the [Packer](http://packer.io) tool, Amigrind goes beyond Packer to provide a humane, pleasant experience for its users that couples AWS awareness with strong conventions that allow you to easily build base and application-specific images, with a heavy emphasis on the Immutable Server approach that lends itself to elasticity and responsiveness to load.
3
+
4
+ ## Installation ##
5
+ Amigrind is distributed as an application, wrapped in a Rubygem. So to do the needful:
6
+
7
+ ```bash
8
+ gem install amigrind
9
+ ```
10
+
11
+ That'll provide you with the `amigrind` executable, but won't provide you the `sample_repo` or `sample_config` directories. So you may want to still check out the Git repo, or at least take a peek on Github.
12
+
13
+ **Please note:** Amigrind is tested only against Ruby 2.3.x. Bugs due to failures in earlier versions of Ruby will not be considered.
14
+
15
+ ## Usage ##
16
+ Amigrind works on _blueprints_ and _environments_, stored in its _repo_, to create AMIs that populate its _inventory_. AMIs in your inventory are tagged in such a way as to create _channels_, reflective of your workflow, from which AMIs can be selected.
17
+
18
+ This is more of a step-by-step guide to a basic usage of Amigrind than a full set of documentation. Help with this is welcomed (I'll get to it eventually otherwise).
19
+
20
+ ### 1. Create A Repo ###
21
+ You'll need to create a _repo_, which is a collection of blueprints and environments. You should put this repo into source control. In the future, the repo will also include a configuration file that can be shared across your entire development team. (If you're familiar with pre-Berkshelf Chef repos, you can think of this as similar. A little less crazy, though.)
22
+
23
+ To do this:
24
+
25
+ ```bash
26
+ amigrind repo init DIRECTORY_NAME # directory must not exist!
27
+ ```
28
+
29
+ Alternatively, copy `sample_repo` out of the Amigrind repo and create a Git repo with it. Either way is fine.
30
+
31
+ ### 2. Create an Environment ###
32
+ An environment can be thought of as a set of channels, AWS configuration details, and a set of arbitrary properties usable in AMI blueprints. Take a look at `sample_repo/environments/development.yaml.example` for an exhaustive example, and mimic it to do thou likewise in your own repo. We recommend at least two channels in your environment, for reasons that will be made clear a little later.
33
+
34
+ One useful note: unlike the underlying Packer, Amigrind accepts multiple subnets into which AMI builder instances can be launched. The one to be used on any given build will be randomly selected.
35
+
36
+ ### 3. Optional: Set Up Your Configuration File ###
37
+ Take a look at `sample_config/config.yaml` and park that in `~/.amigrind/config.yaml`. It'll save you some typing later (otherwise you'll need to pass in `--environment` a lot).
38
+
39
+ ### 4. Create a Blueprint ###
40
+ A _blueprint_ is a Ruby class that, under the hood, is transformed into a Packer template based on the settings that you provide. Some of those are AWS-specific, such as the instance size that should be used to generate the instance, but others are more general, i.e. the provisioning steps necessary to run a Chef Solo job.
41
+
42
+ Take a look at `sample_repo/blueprints` to see examples of blueprints in action. `simple_ubuntu` initializes first; `dependent_ubuntu` then depends on `simple_ubuntu`. You'll notice that the blueprints have `build_channel` directives, which determines which channel a created AMI is placed into. Our sample AMIs are placed into `prerelease`; we'll need to promote `simple_ubuntu` to `live` in order to build `dependent_ubuntu`, which we will do later.
43
+
44
+ ### 5. Build an AMI ###
45
+ So let's build an AMI, with your environment file and your blueprint (and this will cost you money, but you should know that, and it's not my fault either way!):
46
+
47
+ ```bash
48
+ $ amigrind build execute [--environment development] simple_ubuntu
49
+ ```
50
+
51
+ Go get a coffee. It will take a little while. At the end of it, you'll have `simple_ubuntu-000001` in your AWS account, in whatever region you have selected.
52
+
53
+ ### 6. Check your Inventory ###
54
+ The _inventory_ is the collection of AMIs created from the blueprint collection. These are used both by the builders for dependent AMIs as well as consuming services that need to launch AMIs (for example, through a dynamic lookup into a CloudFormation template powered by [Cfer](https://github.com/seanedwards/cfer)).
55
+
56
+ We need to promote our AMI to the `live` channel. This would ordinarily be done by your CI environment, but for now we'll assume that our super-complicated AMI passes our acceptance tests. (You have acceptance tests, right?)
57
+
58
+ ```bash
59
+ $ amigrind inventory add-to-channel simple_ubuntu 1 live
60
+ ```
61
+
62
+ (You can then do an `amigrind build execute` for `dependent_ubuntu`, as you've satisfied that dependency in the channel.)
63
+
64
+ ### 7. Query the Inventory for Your AMI ###
65
+ This can be done through `amigrind` or the `amigrind-lookup` helper in the `amigrind-core` gem. `amigrind` will use your repo and environment to derive your AWS region and your credentials; `amigrind-lookup` doesn't require the full dependency set of `amigrind` itself but requires you to provide it credentials through the standard AWS methods.
66
+
67
+ When querying a channel, `latest` is a valid option that, instead of searching a named channel, will return images in descending order of creation time. The `--steps-back` option (or `STEPS_BACK` in `amigrind-lookup`) allows you to traverse the list backwards, i.e. in case of rollbacks.
68
+
69
+ ```bash
70
+ $ amigrind inventory get-image [--steps-back=STEPS_BACK] simple_ubuntu live
71
+ ```
72
+
73
+ ```bash
74
+ $ amigrind-lookup simple_ubuntu live [STEPS_BACK]
75
+ ```
76
+
77
+ ### 8. You're Done. Go Do Stuff. ###
78
+ You've seen the basics of Amigrind in a pretty short span of time. The commands in `amigrind` are decently documented inline via `--help` and you should be able to hit the ground running from here.
79
+
80
+ While this has been used internally and for some of my clients, I won't claim it's bug-free and that it won't eat your lunch. Use at your own risk, and file issues if you encounter nasal demons.
81
+
82
+ ## Future Work/Contribution Suggestions ##
83
+ - The command line interface is a little janky and unfinished; there are TODOs that should be TODOed.
84
+ - Amigrind likes just spitting out JSON blobs to stdout (and much more helpful information to stderr, because I am a mostly competent programmer who mostly understands how Unix streams are supposed to be used, _looking at you almost every DevOps tool ever_) right now. We should provide better formats, including streaming-friendly ones, to make using Amigrind in command-line pipelines easier.
85
+ - Extend Amigrind's configuration system to respect a configuration file in the repo, falling back to `~/.amigrind/config.yaml` afterwards.
86
+ - Provide support for all Packer provisioners. (I use Chef, but without the Packer provisioner, so LocalShell and RemoteShell are all I've needed!)
87
+ - Be a better Windows citizen; don't put Amigrind config files in `~/.amigrind`, but rather somewhere in %APPDATA%.
88
+ - Speaking of, Windows testing.
89
+ - JRuby testing? If anyone cares?
90
+ - Improve logging and error reporting across the board.
91
+ - Mock out AWS and Packer externals to better test the build process.
92
+ - Integration tests using live AWS/Packer externals.
