Properties

AssociatePublicIpAddress

Associate a public IP address with a server that you are launching. Valid values are true or false. The default value is true.

Required: No

Type: Boolean

Update requires: Replacement

BackupId

If you specify this field, AWS OpsWorks CM creates the server by using the backup represented by BackupId.

Required: No

Type: String

Pattern: [a-zA-Z][a-zA-Z0-9\-\.\:]*

Maximum: 79

Update requires: Replacement

BackupRetentionCount

The number of automated backups that you want to keep. Whenever a new backup is created, AWS OpsWorks CM deletes the oldest backups if this number is exceeded. The default value is 1.

Required: No

Type: Integer

Minimum: 1

Update requires: No interruption

CustomCertificate

Supported on servers running Chef Automate 2.0 only. A PEM-formatted HTTPS certificate. The value can be be a single, self-signed certificate, or a certificate chain. If you specify a custom certificate, you must also specify values for CustomDomain and CustomPrivateKey. The following are requirements for the CustomCertificate value:

  • You can provide either a self-signed, custom certificate, or the full certificate chain.

  • The certificate must be a valid X509 certificate, or a certificate chain in PEM format.

  • The certificate must be valid at the time of upload. A certificate can't be used before its validity period begins (the certificate's NotBefore date), or after it expires (the certificate's NotAfter date).

  • The certificate’s common name or subject alternative names (SANs), if present, must match the value of CustomDomain.

  • The certificate must match the value of CustomPrivateKey.

Update requires: Replacement

CustomDomain

Supported on servers running Chef Automate 2.0 only. An optional public endpoint of a server, such as https://aws.my-company.com. To access the server, create a CNAME DNS record in your preferred DNS service that points the custom domain to the endpoint that is generated when the server is created (the value of the CreateServer Endpoint attribute). You cannot access the server by using the generated Endpoint value if the server is using a custom domain. If you specify a custom domain, you must also specify values for CustomCertificate and CustomPrivateKey.

Required: No

Type: String

Update requires: Replacement

EngineAttributes

Optional engine attributes on a specified server.

Attributes accepted in a Chef createServer request:

  • CHEF_AUTOMATE_PIVOTAL_KEY: A base64-encoded RSA public key. The corresponding private key is required to access the Chef API. When no CHEF_AUTOMATE_PIVOTAL_KEY is set, a private key is generated and returned in the response. When you are specifying the value of CHEF_AUTOMATE_PIVOTAL_KEY as a parameter in the AWS CloudFormation console, you must add newline (\n) characters at the end of each line of the pivotal key value.

  • CHEF_AUTOMATE_ADMIN_PASSWORD: The password for the administrative user in the Chef Automate web-based dashboard. The password length is a minimum of eight characters, and a maximum of 32. The password can contain letters, numbers, and special characters (!/@#$%^&+=_). The password must contain at least one lower case letter, one upper case letter, one number, and one special character. When no CHEF_AUTOMATE_ADMIN_PASSWORD is set, one is generated and returned in the response.

Attributes accepted in a Puppet createServer request:

  • PUPPET_ADMIN_PASSWORD: To work with the Puppet Enterprise console, a password must use ASCII characters.

  • PUPPET_R10K_REMOTE: The r10k remote is the URL of your control repository (for example, ssh://git@your.git-repo.com:user/control-repo.git). Specifying an r10k remote opens TCP port 8170.

  • PUPPET_R10K_PRIVATE_KEY: If you are using a private Git repository, add PUPPET_R10K_PRIVATE_KEY to specify a PEM-encoded private SSH key.

Required: No

  • HH:MM for daily backups

  • DDD:HH:MM for weekly backups

MM must be specified as 00. The specified time is in coordinated universal time (UTC). The default value is a random, daily start time.

For more information about supported Amazon EC2 platforms, see Supported Platforms.

Required: No

Type: Array of String

Maximum: 10000
