Configuration
Creating/Terminating Instances
We currently consider instance lifecycle goals (i.e. create/terminate) to be sufficiently addressed by the AWS CloudFormation Stack task, hopefully covering the majority of use cases (please let us know otherwise).
To configure an Amazon EC2 Instance 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 Instance task, or click Add Task and then Amazon EC2 Instance Task to create a new task.
Complete the following settings:
Common to all tasks
Actions supported by this task:
Start
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.
Don't fail for empty filter result Check to prevent the task failing if no matching resources are found.

- The instances do not have an opportunity to flush file system caches or file system metadata. If you use this option, you must perform file system check and repair procedures.This option is not recommended for Windows instances.

All tasks support Bamboo Variable Substitution/Definition - this task's actions generate variables as follows:
A task's generated variables might get amended with respective AWS API additions over time - a live build log will always provide the most current variable shape accordingly
