Amazon Web Services Opsworks platform provides a convenient way to deploy custom servers and applications via Chef recipes. Oddly thought, custom JSON (which is passed along to chef-solo) is only able to be configured at the stack level (which encompasses entire environments) rather than the layer level (which encompasses similar groups of servers within an environment, such as database or application servers.)
This cookbook solves this problem by allowing you to define per-layer custom JSON within the stack's custom JSON. All you need to do is define the JSON you expect a layer to receive underneath within the stack's custom JSON as follows:
{
"opsworks-layer-json-attributes": {
"my-layer-short-name": {
"my-custom-attribute": "my-custom-value",
},
},
}
and include "opsworks-layer-json-attributes::default" as the first element in each of the custom recipe lists in your layer (setup, deploy, etc.)
All platforms. Intended for use on Amazon Web Services Opsworks.
| Key | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ['opsworks-layer-json-attributes'][Your layer's short name] | Hash | set of attributes to be mixed in to the node's attributes |
Include opsworks-layer-json-attributes in your node's run_list:
{
"run_list": [
"recipe[opsworks-layer-json-attributes::default]"
]
}
