IV_DEFAULTOS TYPE /AWS1/OWXSTRING /AWS1/OWXSTRING

The stack's operating system, which must be set to one of the following:

  • A supported Linux operating system: An Amazon Linux version, such as Amazon Linux 2, Amazon Linux 2018.03, Amazon Linux 2017.09, Amazon Linux 2017.03, Amazon Linux 2016.09, Amazon Linux 2016.03, Amazon Linux 2015.09, or Amazon Linux 2015.03.

  • A supported Windows operating system, such as Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 Base, Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 with SQL Server Express, Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 with SQL Server Standard, or Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 with SQL Server Web.

  • A custom AMI: Custom. You specify the custom AMI you want to use when you create instances. For more information about how to use custom AMIs with OpsWorks, see Using Custom AMIs.

The default option is the stack's current operating system. Not all operating systems are supported with all versions of Chef. For more information about supported operating systems, see OpsWorks Stacks Operating Systems.

IV_HOSTNAMETHEME TYPE /AWS1/OWXSTRING /AWS1/OWXSTRING

The stack's new host name theme, with spaces replaced by underscores. The theme is used to generate host names for the stack's instances. By default, HostnameTheme is set to Layer_Dependent, which creates host names by appending integers to the layer's short name. The other themes are:

  • Baked_Goods

  • Clouds

  • Europe_Cities

  • Fruits

  • Greek_Deities_and_Titans

  • Legendary_creatures_from_Japan

  • Planets_and_Moons

  • Roman_Deities

  • Scottish_Islands

  • US_Cities

  • Wild_Cats

To obtain a generated host name, call GetHostNameSuggestion, which returns a host name based on the current theme.

IV_DEFAULTAVAILABILITYZONE TYPE /AWS1/OWXSTRING /AWS1/OWXSTRING

The stack's default Availability Zone, which must be in the stack's region. For more information, see Regions and Endpoints. If you also specify a value for DefaultSubnetId, the subnet must be in the same zone. For more information, see CreateStack.

IV_DEFAULTSUBNETID TYPE /AWS1/OWXSTRING /AWS1/OWXSTRING

The stack's default VPC subnet ID. This parameter is required if you specify a value for the VpcId parameter. All instances are launched into this subnet unless you specify otherwise when you create the instance. If you also specify a value for DefaultAvailabilityZone, the subnet must be in that zone. For information on default values and when this parameter is required, see the VpcId parameter description.

IV_CUSTOMJSON TYPE /AWS1/OWXSTRING /AWS1/OWXSTRING

A string that contains user-defined, custom JSON. It can be used to override the corresponding default stack configuration JSON values or to pass data to recipes. The string should be in the following format:

"{\"key1\": \"value1\", \"key2\": \"value2\",...}"

For more information about custom JSON, see Use Custom JSON to Modify the Stack Configuration Attributes.

IO_CONFIGURATIONMANAGER TYPE REF TO /AWS1/CL_OWXSTACKCONFMANAGER /AWS1/CL_OWXSTACKCONFMANAGER

The configuration manager. When you update a stack, we recommend that you use the configuration manager to specify the Chef version: 12, 11.10, or 11.4 for Linux stacks, or 12.2 for Windows stacks. The default value for Linux stacks is currently 12.

IO_CHEFCONFIGURATION TYPE REF TO /AWS1/CL_OWXCHEFCONFIGURATION /AWS1/CL_OWXCHEFCONFIGURATION

A ChefConfiguration object that specifies whether to enable Berkshelf and the Berkshelf version on Chef 11.10 stacks. For more information, see Create a New Stack.

IV_USECUSTOMCOOKBOOKS TYPE /AWS1/OWXBOOLEAN /AWS1/OWXBOOLEAN

Whether the stack uses custom cookbooks.

IO_CUSTOMCOOKBOOKSSOURCE TYPE REF TO /AWS1/CL_OWXSOURCE /AWS1/CL_OWXSOURCE

Contains the information required to retrieve an app or cookbook from a repository. For more information, see Adding Apps or Cookbooks and Recipes.

IV_DEFAULTSSHKEYNAME TYPE /AWS1/OWXSTRING /AWS1/OWXSTRING

A default Amazon EC2 key-pair name. The default value is none. If you specify a key-pair name, OpsWorks Stacks installs the public key on the instance and you can use the private key with an SSH client to log in to the instance. For more information, see Using SSH to Communicate with an Instance and Managing SSH Access. You can override this setting by specifying a different key pair, or no key pair, when you create an instance.

IV_DEFAULTROOTDEVICETYPE TYPE /AWS1/OWXROOTDEVICETYPE /AWS1/OWXROOTDEVICETYPE

The default root device type. This value is used by default for all instances in the stack, but you can override it when you create an instance. For more information, see Storage for the Root Device.

IV_USEOPSWORKSSECURITYGROUPS TYPE /AWS1/OWXBOOLEAN /AWS1/OWXBOOLEAN

Whether to associate the OpsWorks Stacks built-in security groups with the stack's layers.

OpsWorks Stacks provides a standard set of built-in security groups, one for each layer, which are associated with layers by default. UseOpsworksSecurityGroups allows you to provide your own custom security groups instead of using the built-in groups. UseOpsworksSecurityGroups has the following settings:

  • True - OpsWorks Stacks automatically associates the appropriate built-in security group with each layer (default setting). You can associate additional security groups with a layer after you create it, but you cannot delete the built-in security group.

  • False - OpsWorks Stacks does not associate built-in security groups with layers. You must create appropriate EC2 security groups and associate a security group with each layer that you create. However, you can still manually associate a built-in security group with a layer on. Custom security groups are required only for those layers that need custom settings.

For more information, see Create a New Stack.

IV_AGENTVERSION TYPE /AWS1/OWXSTRING /AWS1/OWXSTRING

The default OpsWorks Stacks agent version. You have the following options:

  • Auto-update - Set this parameter to LATEST. OpsWorks Stacks automatically installs new agent versions on the stack's instances as soon as they are available.

  • Fixed version - Set this parameter to your preferred agent version. To update the agent version, you must edit the stack configuration and specify a new version. OpsWorks Stacks installs that version on the stack's instances.

The default setting is LATEST. To specify an agent version, you must use the complete version number, not the abbreviated number shown on the console. For a list of available agent version numbers, call DescribeAgentVersions. AgentVersion cannot be set to Chef 12.2.

You can also specify an agent version when you create or update an instance, which overrides the stack's default setting.
