sudo yum -y install jq gettext bash-completion moreutils
- Install tool cfn-lint - a tool to help you check CloudFormation yaml/json templates and other information. This includes checking that the resource’s properties are correct or that the configuration information is following best practices.
pip install cfn-lint
- Check the cfn-lint installation is successful using the following command:
cfn-lint --version
- Install taskcat
pip install taskcat
- We will configure the aws cli to use the current Region.
export ACCOUNT_ID=$(aws sts get-caller-identity --output text --query Account)
export AWS_REGION=$(curl -s 169.254.169.254/latest/dynamic/instance-identity/document | jq -r '.region')
export AZS=($(aws ec2 describe-availability-zones --query 'AvailabilityZones[].ZoneName' --output text --region $AWS_REGION))
- We will save the configuration information to bash_profile
echo "export ACCOUNT_ID=$ACCOUNT_ID" | tee -a ~/.bash_profile
echo "export AWS_REGION=$AWS_REGION" | tee -a ~/.bash_profile
echo "export AZS=${AZS[@]}" | tee -a ~/.bash_profile
aws configure set default.region $AWS_REGION
aws configure get default.region
- We will use the command to check if the Cloud9 IDE is using the IAM Role correctly.
aws sts get-caller-identity --query Arn | grep CloudFormation-Role -q && echo "IAM role valid" || echo "IAM role NOT valid"
