cloudsnap's Introduction

CloudSnap

A python 2.7 Google App Engine (GAE) script to create images (AMIs) from all of your Amazon EC2 instances.

Configuration

settings.py

Copy settings.example.py to settings.py and fill:

Your AWS account key (AWS['key'])
Your AWS account secret (AWS['secret'])
Your GAE's administrator email (LOGGER['sender'])
Your email to receive logs (LOGGER['to'])

Obs: lacks a configuration wizard.

app.yaml

Since cloudsnap is already taken (by me) you will need to replace the application name with something else. Remember to signup for an GAE Account and verify the availability of the application name.

cron.yaml

The cron.yaml is configured according to my needs. Feel free to change the scheduling and timezone according to yours.

Deploying

Download GAE python SDK and follow application upload instructions.

Development Environment

To set up the project on your development environment, follow these steps:

Download the APP Engine SDK
Move the SDK folder to /usr/local/google_appengine (the google_appengine folder may be anywhere. If you place it elsewhere take a look at Makefile and replace the path to run the unit tests)

Install virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper:

sudo pip install virtualenv
sudo pip install virtualenvwrapper

Clone the project

git clone https://github.com/renanivo/cloudsnap.git

Create a new virtualenv on the project folder:
```
virtualenv --no-site-packages cloudsnap
```
Go to the project folder and execute:
```
add2virtualenv cloudsnap
make setup
```
