Configuration

Info

title	Changes to action names in release 2.10.3

As of release 2.10.3, there are two new API compatible EC2 Image actions and the former backup oriented actions have been renamed as follows to better reflect their scope (refer to

Jira Legacy

server	JIRA (utoolity.atlassian.net)
columns	key,summary,type,created,updated,due,assignee,reporter,priority,status,resolution
serverId	fac61c2e-db0a-39da-bb3c-e0dc0ef556f0
key	UAA-93

for details/background):

Old action name	New action name	Notes
N/A	Create Image(s)	New in 2.10.3
N/A	Delete Image(s)	New in 2.10.3
Create Image(s)	Grow Image Backup Set
Delete Image(s)	Prune Image Backup Set
Backup Image(s)	Grow & Prune Image Backup Set

This is a name change only and no action needs to be taken: existing tasks simply use the new names now and their configuration remains unchanged.

To configure an Amazon EC2 Image task:

Navigate to the Tasks configuration tab for the job (this will be the default job if creating a new plan).
Click the name of an existing Amazon EC2 Image task, or click Add Task and then Amazon EC2 Image Task to create a new task.

Actions supported by this task:

Create Image(s)
Instance ID	(Optional) Specify one or more instance IDs (semicolon separated).
Instance Filters	(Optional) Specify resource filters in JSON format. Insert fragments from the inline Examples dialog to get started. Refer to the --filters specification for describe-instances for details on available filters. Refer to Listing and Filtering Using the CLI and API for details on filter value syntax.
Image Name	Specify the image name. Create unique names via custom variables.
Description	Describe the image. Create unique names via custom variables.
Don't fail for empty filter result	Check to prevent the task failing if no matching resources are found.
No reboot	If unchecked (default) Amazon EC2 attempts to shut down the instance cleanly before image creation and then reboots the instance. If checked, Amazon EC2 doesn't shut down the instance before creating the image. When this option is used, file system integrity on the created image can't be guaranteed.
Tags	Specify tags in JSON format. Create unique names via custom variables.
Delete Image(s)
Image ID	(Optional) Specify one or more image IDs (semicolon separated).
Image Filters	(Optional) Specify resource filters in JSON format. Insert fragments from the inline Examples dialog to get started. Refer to the --filters specification for describe-images for details on available filters. Refer to Listing and Filtering Using the CLI and API for details on filter value syntax.
Don't fail for empty filter result	see Create above
Grow Image Backup Set
Instance ID	(Optional) Specify one or more instance IDs (semicolon separated).
Filters	(Optional) Specify resource filters in JSON format. Insert fragments from the inline Examples dialog to get started. Refer to the --filters specification for describe-instances for details on available filters. Refer to Listing and Filtering Using the CLI and API for details on filter value syntax.

If checked, Amazon EC2 doesn't shut down the instance before creating the image. When this option is used, file system integrity on the created image can't be guaranteed.
Backup Set	Specify the name of the backup set, which determines retention correlation.
Prune Image Backup Set
Instance ID	see Create above
Filters	see Create above
Don't fail for empty filter result	see Create above
Backup Set	see Create above
Backup Retention	Specify the number of backups that should be retained.
Grow & Prune Image Backup Set	custom action to combine Grow and Prune, effectively capping the number of retained backups
