AWS OpsWorks for configuration management (CM) is a service that runs and manages configuration management servers. You can use AWS OpsWorks CM to create and manage AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate and AWS OpsWorks for Puppet Enterprise servers, and add or remove nodes for the servers to manage.
Glossary of terms
Server: A configuration management server that can be highly-available. The configuration management server runs on an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) instance, and may use various other AWS services, such as Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) and Elastic Load Balancing. A server is a generic abstraction over the configuration manager that you want to use, much like Amazon RDS. In AWS OpsWorks CM, you do not start or stop servers. After you create servers, they continue to run until they are deleted.
Engine: The engine is the specific configuration manager that
you want to use. Valid values in this release include ChefAutomate
and Puppet.
Backup: This is an application-level backup of the data that the configuration manager stores. AWS OpsWorks CM creates an S3 bucket for backups when you launch the first server. A backup maintains a snapshot of a server's configuration-related attributes at the time the backup starts.
Events: Events are always related to a server. Events are written during server creation, when health checks run, when backups are created, when system maintenance is performed, etc. When you delete a server, the server's events are also deleted.
Account attributes: Every account has attributes that are assigned in the AWS OpsWorks CM database. These attributes store information about configuration limits (servers, backups, etc.) and your customer account.
Endpoints
AWS OpsWorks CM supports the following endpoints, all HTTPS. You must connect to one of the following endpoints. Your servers can only be accessed or managed within the endpoint in which they are created.
opsworks-cm.us-east-1.amazonaws.com
opsworks-cm.us-east-2.amazonaws.com
opsworks-cm.us-west-1.amazonaws.com
opsworks-cm.us-west-2.amazonaws.com
opsworks-cm.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com
opsworks-cm.ap-southeast-1.amazonaws.com
opsworks-cm.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com
opsworks-cm.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com
opsworks-cm.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com
For more information, see AWS OpsWorks endpoints and quotas in the AWS General Reference.
Throttling limits
All API operations allow for five requests per second with a burst of 10 requests per second.
opsworkscm(
config = list(),
credentials = list(),
endpoint = NULL,
region = NULL
)A client for the service. You can call the service's operations using
syntax like svc$operation(...), where svc is the name you've assigned
to the client. The available operations are listed in the
Operations section.
Optional configuration of credentials, endpoint, and/or region.
credentials:
creds:
access_key_id: AWS access key ID
secret_access_key: AWS secret access key
session_token: AWS temporary session token
profile: The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used.
anonymous: Set anonymous credentials.
endpoint: The complete URL to use for the constructed client.
region: The AWS Region used in instantiating the client.
close_connection: Immediately close all HTTP connections.
timeout: The time in seconds till a timeout exception is thrown when attempting to make a connection. The default is 60 seconds.
s3_force_path_style: Set this to true to force the request to use path-style addressing, i.e. http://s3.amazonaws.com/BUCKET/KEY.
sts_regional_endpoint: Set sts regional endpoint resolver to regional or legacy https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkref/latest/guide/feature-sts-regionalized-endpoints.html
Optional credentials shorthand for the config parameter
creds:
access_key_id: AWS access key ID
secret_access_key: AWS secret access key
session_token: AWS temporary session token
profile: The name of a profile to use. If not given, then the default profile is used.
anonymous: Set anonymous credentials.
Optional shorthand for complete URL to use for the constructed client.
Optional shorthand for AWS Region used in instantiating the client.
