<|file_sep|># Ingest-SaltStack
This project contains scripts that facilitate ingesting new AWS EC2 instances into SaltStack.
## salt-ingest-aws.sh
This script should be run from an existing AWS EC2 instance (ubuntu t1.micro). It installs SaltStack Minion (a.k.a Salt Client) onto this instance.
### Requirements:
* AWS CLI tools must be installed locally (e.g., on your laptop). You can install them by following [this guide](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/userguide/installing.html).
* You must have an AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key configured locally (e.g., using `aws configure`). You can generate these keys by following [this guide](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_credentials_access-keys.html).
### Usage:
Run `./salt-ingest-aws.sh --help` to see available options.
#### Example:
./salt-ingest-aws.sh --ami-id ami-12345678 --key-name my-key-pair --security-group my-security-group --subnet-id subnet-12345678 --tag-name TagName --tag-value TagValue --master-ip master-ip-address
#### Parameters:
* `--ami-id`: Amazon Machine Image ID (e.g., ami-12345678).
* `--key-name`: Name of your SSH key pair.
* `--security-group`: Name or ID of your security group.
* `--subnet-id`: ID or name of your subnet.
* `--tag-name`: Name attribute used when tagging new instances.
* `--tag-value`: Value attribute used when tagging new instances.
* `--master-ip`: IP address where Salt Master is running.
## salt-inject.py
This script should be run from wherever you have your Salt Master configured.
### Requirements:
* Python > v2.7.
* `boto` Python library.
* `salt` Python library.
### Usage:
Run `python salt-inject.py --help` to see available options.
#### Example:
python salt-inject.py --ami-id ami-12345678 --key-name my-key-pair --security-group my-security-group --subnet-id subnet-12345678 --tag-name TagName --tag-value TagValue --master-ip master-ip-address
#### Parameters:
* `--ami-id`: Amazon Machine Image ID (e.g., ami-12345678).
* `--key-name`: Name of your SSH key pair.
* `--security-group`: Name or ID of your security group.
* `--subnet-id`: ID or name of your subnet.
* `--tag-name`: Name attribute used when tagging new instances.
* `--tag-value`: Value attribute used when tagging new instances.
* `--master-ip`: IP address where Salt Master is running.<|file_sep|>#!/usr/bin/env python
