You can use the Amazon EC2 Image task to create, delete or backup images (AMIs) of EBS backed Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances; in particular, the task provides backup management with retention handling and backup set correlation.

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 https://utoolity.atlassian.net/browse/UAA-93 for details/background):

Old action name

Info

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:

1. Navigate to the Tasks configuration tab for the job (this will be the default job if creating a new plan).

2. 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.

3. Complete the following settings:

a. Common to all tasks

b. Actions supported by this task:

Create Image(s)

Tip

Custom Variables

In addition to the the regular Bamboo Variable Substitution/Definition, the Create Image(s) action's Image Name, Description and Tags fields also support Injecting contextual entity variables into task configurations to ease composing unique names when targeting multiple EC2 instances at once. For example, you can refer to the source instance and add a timestamp to create the unique name ${utoolity.aws.instanceId}.${utoolity.iso8601.basicDateTime}.

(info) These custom variables have task scope only(rather than the regular local scope aka job scope), i.e. they cease to exist when this task finishes.

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.

Image Name

Specify the image name.

Description

Describe the image.

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.

  • (warning) When this option is used, file system integrity on the created image can't be guaranteed.

Tags

Specify tags in JSON format.

Delete Image(s)

Info

Snapshot Deletion

This action currently implies deletion of the backing EBS snapshots, which only works if those are not in use by another EC2 image still. Please watch/vote/comment on https://utoolity.atlassian.net/browse/UAA-163 if your use case requires to deregister an image as a standalone action.

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.

Don't fail for empty filter result

see Create Image(s) above

Grow Image Backup Set

(lightbulb) Most use cases can be covered with the combined Grow & Prune Image Backup Set instead, see below.

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.

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.

  • (warning) 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.

The logged bamboo.custom.aws.ec2.image.first.tags outputs are example tags composed via custom variables and regular Bamboo variables, i.e. you need to specify any desired tags yourself as JSON input for the Tags field.
