CloudFormationでいつでも最新AMIからEC2を起動したい

2016.04.30

この記事は公開されてから1年以上経過しています。情報が古い可能性がありますので、ご注意ください。

西澤です。検証目的の場合はいつも割安な海外Regionを使っているのですが、特にWindows環境の検証をするときに最新の日本語AMIを探してから起動する作業が面倒で仕方がありませんでした。目新しいことは何もないのですが、今回CloudFormationから最新AMIを取得できるテンプレートを作成したのでご紹介してみようと思います。

テンプレートの概要

本記事はほぼせーの | Developers.IOさんの下記記事を丸パクリ大いに参考にさせていただいただけの内容です。詳しくは下記の素晴らしい記事をご覧ください。

この記事を踏まえて、下記の流れで利用できるようにしました。

  1. Baseスタックから取得したい最新AMIのIDを取得(Lambdaファンクションの作成とその実行結果を取得)
  2. メインスタックからEC2を起動

最新AMIのIDを取得するBaseスタック

せーのさんのLambdaファンクションそのままですが、LambdaファンクションをCloudFormationから作成して、AmiNameパラメータから最新AMIのIDを指定できるようにして、outputに返すようにしただけです。一応動作確認をしたWindows2012R2日本語、Windows2008R2SP1日本語、AmazonLinuxだけ指定できるようにしていますが、フィルタ条件は要件に合わせて変更して使ってみていただければと思います。

"Runtime"の指定を、"nodejs"から"nodejs4.3"に修正しました。

テンプレートはメインスタックからから呼び出せるようにS3バケットに配置しました。公開状態で置いていますので、とにかく試したい方はぜひ使ってみてください。

Baseスタックを利用したメインスタック

参考として載せておきますが、この中身は何でも良いです。BaseスタックのOutput({ "Fn::GetAtt" : [ "BaseStack", "Outputs.LatestAmiId" ] })からAMIIDを指定するところがポイントです。

最新AMIでEC2起動

それでは早速起動してみましょう。

launchlatest1

BaseスタックでWindows2012R2の最新AMIが取得できています。せーのさんありがとう!

launchlatest2

無事に最新AMIからEC2インスタンスが起動してきました!

launchlatest3

今回は検証目的での構築・削除をイメージしたテンプレートですので、このテンプレートを何度も使うとLambdaファンクションがたくさん作成されてしまうので注意してください。構築後も利用し続けるリソースはCloudFormationのDeletionPolicyを利用する等して、管理できるように考える必要があると思います。

まとめ

構築手順を再現するのにとても便利なCloudFormationですが、AMIのIDを指定するところが毎度面倒でした。これで、最新AMIを使った構築作業も捗りそうです。

個人的には面倒な作業はそれほど苦手では無い方だと思うのですが、同じことを二度三度行うときには、やはり自動化しておきたいところですよね。CloudFormationをBaseスタックでネスト、Lambda-Backed Custom Resourcesの利用、はまともに作ったのが初めてだったのでとても勉強になりました。そして、Lambdaを使った処理は楽しい!コードをかけなくても素晴らしいサンプルを多くの人が紹介してくれていますので、ぜひ活用しましょう。

この内容がどこかの誰かのお役に立てば嬉しいです。
