aws build workflow improvements  #37

@jessereynolds

Description

@jessereynolds

Currently when we build flapjack packages the workflow looks like this:

  • create a new ec2 launch configuration by cloning an existing one and updating the parameters to the build script within the user data script
  • modify an existing autoscaling group to use the new launch config
  • alter number of desired instances in the asg from 0 to 1 to kick off a build
  • log in to the instance and tail /var/log/cloud-init-output.log to determine success or failure
  • gist the log in case it's helpful later
  • change the number of desired instances in the asg from 1 to 0

This is part of the way to the nirvana described here: https://gist.github.com/jessereynolds/378bdbca81a4fa7b1760

What next to do? Something like:

  • test out an sqs queue that creates a cloud watch alarm when there are jobs on the queue
  • create an asg with a policy that uses this alarm as a trigger
  • work out how to pass params from the sqs job to the build script
  • get a Jenkins server going and a job that receives webhooks from github and creates build jobs on the sqs queue
  • improve maintain ability and more with cloud formation

The first two points were mapped out in some detail by @jdub
