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.

Configuration

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:

      Task Description (Optional) Identify the purpose of the task.
      Disable this task

      Check, or clear, to selectively run this task.

      Action

      Each task supports one or more actions depending on the target AWS resource. Select the desired action and configure the action specific parameters below.

      RegionSelect the desired AWS Region. Alternatively, select [Use region variable ...] to supply the region dynamically via Bamboo variables (needs to be a region code such as ap-southeast-2) - refer to How to parametrize the AWS region via a Bamboo variable for details.
      ...Configure task/action specific parameters, see below ...
      AWS Security Credentials
      SourceSelect the source for the required AWS Security Credentials - can be either Inline, an IAM Role for EC2 or a shared Identity Federation for AWS Connector.
      Connector(Conditional) Select the shared Identity Federation for AWS Connector. Alternatively, select [Use connector variable ...] to supply the connector dynamically via Bamboo variables (needs to be a connector id such as f24e81bc-7aff-42db-86a2-7cf82e24d871) - refer to How to parametrize the AWS connector via a Bamboo variable for details.

    2. Actions supported by this task:

      Create

       
      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 resultCheck to prevent the task failing if no matching resources are found.
      No rebootIf 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 SetSpecify the name of the backup set, which determines retention correlation.
