Note

You are viewing the documentation for an older version of boto (boto2).

Boto3, the next version of Boto, is now stable and recommended for general use. It can be used side-by-side with Boto in the same project, so it is easy to start using Boto3 in your existing projects as well as new projects. Going forward, API updates and all new feature work will be focused on Boto3.

For more information, see the documentation for boto3.

class boto.opsworks.layer1.OpsWorksConnection(**kwargs)

AWS OpsWorks Welcome to the AWS OpsWorks API Reference . This guide provides descriptions, syntax, and usage examples about AWS OpsWorks actions and data types, including common parameters and error codes.

AWS OpsWorks is an application management service that provides an integrated experience for overseeing the complete application lifecycle. For information about this product, go to the `AWS OpsWorks`_ details page.

SDKs and CLI

The most common way to use the AWS OpsWorks API is by using the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) or by using one of the AWS SDKs to implement applications in your preferred language. For more information, see:

Endpoints

AWS OpsWorks supports only one endpoint, opsworks.us- east-1.amazonaws.com (HTTPS), so you must connect to that endpoint. You can then use the API to direct AWS OpsWorks to create stacks in any AWS Region.

Chef Versions

When you call CreateStack, CloneStack, or UpdateStack we recommend you use the ConfigurationManager parameter to specify the Chef version, 0.9, 11.4, or 11.10. The default value is currently 11.10. For more information, see `Chef Versions`_.

You can still specify Chef 0.9 for your stack, but new features are not available for Chef 0.9 stacks, and support is scheduled to end on July 24, 2014. We do not recommend using Chef 0.9 for new stacks, and we recommend migrating your existing Chef 0.9 stacks to Chef 11.10 as soon as possible.

    the default VPC for the specified region.
If the VPC ID corresponds to a default VPC and you have specified
either the DefaultAvailabilityZone or the DefaultSubnetId parameter only, AWS OpsWorks infers the value of the other parameter. If you specify neither parameter, AWS OpsWorks sets these parameters to the first valid Availability Zone for the specified region and the corresponding default VPC subnet ID, respectively.

If you specify a nondefault VPC ID, note the following:

  • It must belong to a VPC in your account that is in the specified
    region.
  • You must specify a value for DefaultSubnetId.
For more information on how to use AWS OpsWorks with a VPC, see
`Running a Stack in a VPC`_. For more information on default VPC and EC2 Classic, see `Supported Platforms`_.
Parameters:
  • attributes (map) – A list of stack attributes and values as key/value pairs to be added to the cloned stack.
  • service_role_arn (string) –
The stack AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role, which allows
AWS OpsWorks to work with AWS resources on your behalf. You must set this parameter to the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for an existing IAM role. If you create a stack by using the AWS OpsWorks console, it creates the role for you. You can obtain an existing stack’s IAM ARN programmatically by calling DescribePermissions. For more information about IAM ARNs, see `Using Identifiers`_.
You must set this parameter to a valid service role ARN or the action
will fail; there is no default value. You can specify the source stack’s service role ARN, if you prefer, but you must do so explicitly.
Parameters:
  • default_instance_profile_arn (string) – The ARN of an IAM profile that is the default profile for all of the stack’s EC2 instances. For more information about IAM ARNs, see `Using Identifiers`_.
  • default_os (string) – The stacks’s operating system, which must be set to one of the following.
  • Standard operating systems: an Amazon Linux version such as `Amazon
    Linux 2014.09`, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, or Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
  • Custom AMIs: Custom. You specify the custom AMI you want to use
    when you create instances.

The default option is the current Amazon Linux version.

Parameters:hostname_theme (string) – The stack’s host name theme, with spaces are replaced by underscores. The theme is used to generate host names for the stack’s instances. By default, HostnameTheme is set to Layer_Dependent, which creates host names by appending integers to the layer’s short name. The other themes are:
  • Baked_Goods
  • Clouds
  • European_Cities
  • Fruits
  • Greek_Deities
  • Legendary_Creatures_from_Japan

If you also specify a value for DefaultSubnetId, the subnet must be in the same zone. For more information, see the VpcId parameter description.
  • default_subnet_id (string) – The stack’s default VPC subnet ID. This parameter is required if you specify a value for the VpcId parameter. All instances are launched into this subnet unless you specify otherwise when you create the instance. If you also specify a value for DefaultAvailabilityZone, the subnet must be in that zone. For information on default values and when this parameter is required, see the VpcId parameter description.
  • custom_json (string) – A string that contains user-defined, custom JSON. It is used to override the corresponding default stack configuration JSON values. The string should be in the following format and must escape characters such as ‘”’.:

“{“key1”: “value1”, “key2”: “value2”,…}”

For more information on custom JSON, see `Use Custom JSON to Modify the
Stack Configuration JSON`_
Parameters:
  • configuration_manager (dict) – The configuration manager. When you clone a stack we recommend that you use the configuration manager to specify the Chef version, 0.9, 11.4, or 11.10. The default value is currently 11.4.
  • chef_configuration (dict) – A ChefConfiguration object that specifies whether to enable Berkshelf and the Berkshelf version on Chef 11.10 stacks. For more information, see `Create a New Stack`_.
  • use_custom_cookbooks (boolean) – Whether to use custom cookbooks.
  • use_opsworks_security_groups (boolean) – Whether to associate the AWS OpsWorks built-in security groups with the stack’s layers.
AWS OpsWorks provides a standard set of built-in security groups, one
for each layer, which are associated with layers by default. With UseOpsworksSecurityGroups you can instead provide your own custom security groups. UseOpsworksSecurityGroups has the following settings:
  • True - AWS OpsWorks automatically associates the appropriate built-in
    security group with each layer (default setting). You can associate additional security groups with a layer after you create it but you cannot delete the built-in security group.
  • False - AWS OpsWorks does not associate built-in security groups with
    layers. You must create appropriate EC2 security groups and associate a security group with each layer that you create. However, you can still manually associate a built-in security group with a layer on creation; custom security groups are required only for those layers that need custom settings.

For more information, see `Create a New Stack`_.

  • auto_assign_public_ips (boolean) – For stacks that are running in a VPC, whether to automatically assign a public IP address to the layer’s instances. For more information, see `How to Edit a Layer`_.
  • custom_recipes (dict) – A LayerCustomRecipes object that specifies the layer’s custom recipes.
  • install_updates_on_boot (boolean) –
Whether to install operating system and package updates when the
instance boots. The default value is True. To control when updates are installed, set this value to False. You must then update your instances manually by using CreateDeployment to run the update_dependencies stack command or manually running yum (Amazon Linux) or apt-get (Ubuntu) on the instances.
We strongly recommend using the default value of True, to ensure that
your instances have the latest security updates.
Parameters:
  • use_ebs_optimized_instances (boolean) – Whether to use Amazon EBS-optimized instances.
  • lifecycle_event_configuration (dict) –

Updates a specified stack.

Required Permissions: To use this action, an IAM user must have a Manage permissions level for the stack, or an attached policy that explicitly grants permissions. For more information on user permissions, see `Managing User Permissions`_.

Parameters:
  • stack_id (string) – The stack ID.
  • name (string) – The stack’s new name.
  • attributes (map) – One or more user-defined key/value pairs to be added to the stack attributes.
  • service_role_arn (string) –
The stack AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) role, which allows
AWS OpsWorks to work with AWS resources on your behalf. You must set this parameter to the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) for an existing IAM role. For more information about IAM ARNs, see `Using Identifiers`_.
You must set this parameter to a valid service role ARN or the action
will fail; there is no default value. You can specify the stack’s current service role ARN, if you prefer, but you must do so explicitly.
Parameters:
  • default_instance_profile_arn (string) – The ARN of an IAM profile that is the default profile for all of the stack’s EC2 instances. For more information about IAM ARNs, see `Using Identifiers`_.
  • default_os (string) – The stack’s operating system, which must be set to one of the following.
  • Standard operating systems: an Amazon Linux version such as `Amazon
    Linux 2014.09`, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, or Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
  • Custom AMIs: Custom. You specify the custom AMI you want to use
    when you create instances.

The default option is the current Amazon Linux version.

Parameters:hostname_theme (string) – The stack’s new host name theme, with spaces are replaced by underscores. The theme is used to generate host names for the stack’s instances. By default, HostnameTheme is set to Layer_Dependent, which creates host names by appending integers to the layer’s short name. The other themes are:
  • Baked_Goods
  • Clouds
  • European_Cities
  • Fruits
  • Greek_Deities
  • Legendary_Creatures_from_Japan
  • Planets_and_Moons
  • Roman_Deities
  • Scottish_Islands
  • US_Cities
  • Wild_Cats
To obtain a generated host name, call GetHostNameSuggestion, which
returns a host name based on the current theme.
Parameters:
  • default_availability_zone (string) – The stack’s default Availability Zone, which must be in the specified region. For more information, see `Regions and Endpoints`_. If you also specify a value for DefaultSubnetId, the subnet must be in the same zone. For more information, see CreateStack.
  • default_subnet_id (string) – The stack’s default VPC subnet ID. This parameter is required if you specify a value for the VpcId parameter. All instances are launched into this subnet unless you specify otherwise when you create the instance. If you also specify a value for DefaultAvailabilityZone, the subnet must be in that zone. For information on default values and when this parameter is required, see the VpcId parameter description.
  • custom_json (string) – A string that contains user-defined, custom JSON. It is used to override the corresponding default stack configuration JSON values. The string should be in the following format and must escape characters such as ‘”’.:

“{“key1”: “value1”, “key2”: “value2”,…}”

For more information on custom JSON, see `Use Custom JSON to Modify the
Stack Configuration JSON`_.
Parameters:
  • configuration_manager (dict) – The configuration manager. When you clone a stack we recommend that you use the configuration manager to specify the Chef version, 0.9, 11.4, or 11.10. The default value is currently 11.4.
  • chef_configuration (dict) – A ChefConfiguration object that specifies whether to enable Berkshelf and the Berkshelf version on Chef 11.10 stacks. For more information, see `Create a New Stack`_.
  • use_custom_cookbooks (boolean) – Whether the stack uses custom cookbooks.
  • custom_cookbooks_source (dict) – Contains the information required to retrieve an app or cookbook from a repository. For more information, see `Creating Apps`_ or `Custom Recipes and Cookbooks`_.
  • default_ssh_key_name (string) – A default SSH key for the stack instances. You can override this value when you create or update an instance.
  • default_root_device_type (string) – The default root device type. This value is used by default for all instances in the stack, but you can override it when you create an instance. For more information, see `Storage for the Root Device`_.
  • use_opsworks_security_groups (boolean) – Whether to associate the AWS OpsWorks built-in security groups with the stack’s layers.
AWS OpsWorks provides a standard set of built-in security groups, one
for each layer, which are associated with layers by default. UseOpsworksSecurityGroups allows you to instead provide your own custom security groups. UseOpsworksSecurityGroups has the following settings:
  • True - AWS OpsWorks automatically associates the appropriate built-in
    security group with each layer (default setting). You can associate additional security groups with a layer after you create it but you cannot delete the built-in security group.
  • False - AWS OpsWorks does not associate built-in security groups with
    layers. You must create appropriate EC2 security groups and associate a security group with each layer that you create. However, you can still manually associate a built-in security group with a layer on creation; custom security groups are required only for those layers that need custom settings.

For more information, see `Create a New Stack`_.

update_user_profile(iam_user_arn, ssh_username=None, ssh_public_key=None, allow_self_management=None)

Updates a specified user profile.

Required Permissions: To use this action, an IAM user must have an attached policy that explicitly grants permissions. For more information on user permissions, see `Managing User Permissions`_.

  • ssh_username (string) – The user’s SSH user name. The allowable characters are [a-z], [A-Z], [0-9], ‘-‘, and ‘_’. If the specified name includes other punctuation marks, AWS OpsWorks removes them. For example, my.name will be changed to myname. If you do not specify an SSH user name, AWS OpsWorks generates one from the IAM user name.
  • ssh_public_key (string) – The user’s new SSH public key.
  • allow_self_management (boolean) – Whether users can specify their own SSH public key through the My Settings page. For more information, see `Managing User Permissions`_.
