Ghost-Chef

This is a subset of AWS functionality which has idempotent wrappers over it. It intends to provide a way of treating this limited subset of AWS capabilities in the same way as we would treat Chef-managed resources.

require the gem with bundler

gem 'ghost-chef', '0.0.0', :git => 'git@github.com:greenfishbluefish/ghost-chef.git'

Running the tests

Using Docker

There is a Dockerfile for running the test suite. This ensures the same

Initial steps

• docker build -t ghost-chef

You will also need to do this if the Gemfile ever changes.

Running

• With defaults:
  • docker run -v $(pwd):/app -t ghost-chef
• With rspec options (like --seed):
  • docker run -v $(pwd):/app -t ghost-chef <rspec options>
• To hop in and see what's going on:
  • docker run -v $(pwd):/app -t --entrypoint=/bin/bash ghost-chef

Useful Docker commands

• Remove all stopped containers:
  • docker rm $(docker ps --no-trunc -aq)
  • Useful after running the test suite multiple times.
• Remove all untagged images:
  • docker rmi $(docker images | grep "^<none>" | awk '{print $3}')
  • Useful if you built without tagging

TODO

• General
  • Ensure in the test suite that additional calls to the AWS SDK are flagged as an error
• IAM
  • Provide a way of setting the assume role policy document.
