aws-cfn-resource-bridge

A custom resource framework for AWS CloudFormation

Installation

Clone the repo and run the setup.py file in the root:

python setup.py install

You can also use the file to build an RPM:

python setup.py bdist_rpm

As well as python, the resulting RPM will also depend on python-argparse, python-botocore and python-daemon, packaged as RPMs.

Usage

The options for the cfn-resource-bridge script are shown below. The CONFIG_PATH needs to contain a file named cfn-resource-bridge.conf with the details of the incoming custom resources and commands to run.

usage: cfn-resource-bridge [-h] [-c CONFIG_PATH] [--no-daemon] [-v]
                           [-t THREADS]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -c CONFIG_PATH, --config CONFIG_PATH
                        The configuration directory (default: /etc/cfn)
  --no-daemon           Do not daemonize
  -v, --verbose         Enables verbose logging
  -t THREADS, --threads THREADS
                        Configure the number of threads to use

Example config file:

[eip-lookup]
resource_type=Custom::EipLookup
queue_url=https://your-sqs-queue-url-that-is-subscribed-to-the-sns-topic-in-the-service-token
timeout=60
default_action=/home/ec2-user/lookup-eip.py

The config file cfn-resource-bridge.conf can contain multiple sections and each section can contain the following options:

  • queue_url - the URL of the queue to pull messages from.
  • default_action - the default action to perform when a message is received.
  • create_action - the action to perform when a Create message is received.
  • delete_action - the action to perform when a Delete message is received.
  • update_action - the action to perform when a Update message is received.
  • timeout - the default timeout for messages taken from the queue.
  • create_timeout - the message timeout for create actions.
  • delete_timeout - the message timeout for delete actions.
  • update_timeout - the message timeout for update actions.
  • flatten - flatten resource properties in environment variables (true by default).
  • service_token - optional service token for the event.
  • resource_type - the custom resource type.
  • region - the AWS region - only required if it can't be determined from the queue URL.
