paschdan/ec2cronjob — version 0.1.6 Apr 15th 2015

Puppet Forge Build Status wercker status Puppet Forge

Overview

This module can generate CRON-JOBS that runs on only one EC2-Instance based on the used AMI.

To be able to do this it installs the awscli tools.

Until jdowning releases a newer version of his awscli you need to use master branch !!!!

How does it work

This module installs a wrapper script around your cronjob. This wrapper does the following:

  • it gets the instance-id of the mashine via facter
  • it gets the ami-id of the mashine via facter
  • it gets the region of the mashine via facter / sed
  • it gets the first instance with the current ami in the current region via awscli
  • it runs your cronjob if the first instance (from awscli) is the same as the current instance

Usage

Add a Cron

if you are using awscli with my profiles-fix you can use it this way:

add an awscli profile for root user and prepare system for adding crons

class { 'ec2cronjob':
  aws_access_key_id     => 'MYACCESSKEYID',
  aws_secret_access_key => 'MYSECRETACCESSKEY'
}

to add a cron simply do

ec2cronjob::cron { 'mytestcron':
  command  => 'echo "Hello World"',
  minute   => 1,
  hour     => 2,
  weekday  => 4,
  month    => 5,
  monthday => 7
}

you will need installed awscli (with credentials) to have the cronjob running.

Remove a Cron

ec2cronjob::cron { 'mytestcron':
  ensure => absent
}
