What is it?

This plugin writes files to a volume mounted into AWS management instance ultimately creating a new AWS instance from those files.

No entry is made in the sidebar for this plugin since this plugin is accessed from other compatible plugins.

For example, when this plugin is installed, the obdi-rsyncbackup plugin will show a 'Create Amazon EC2 Instance' button in the file viewer when it thinks it has found a root filesystem. Pressing the button will take the user to this plugin and allow them to create an Amazon Virtual Machine.

The following variables are used by the Bash script when modifying the OS:

Aws_dnsserver_ip and Aws_dnsdomain

Should both be set to avoid an error message. Affects the final '/etc/resolv.conf'.

Aws_gateway

Affects the networking in '/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0'.

Aws_obdi_worker_ip

The IP address of the AWS instance, Aws_obdi_worker_instance_id. This is the address as seen from the Backup server.

Aws_shell_ssh_key_b64

The base64 encoded key file.

get-not-so-secret-data

Gets Json Object Capability data for AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID_1 for an environment. This data will be stored in the Browser's DOM so Aws_secret_access_key and Aws_obdi_worker_key have obfuscated values.
