aws-cloud-unmap 1.0.3

Remove terminated EC2 instances from AWS CloudMap service

AWS Cloud (un)Map

External controller to remove terminated EC2 instances from AWS Cloud Map service.

How it works

This application scans - at a regular interval - the instances registered to a Cloud Map service and match them with the EC2 instances running in 1+ region: it will then deregister any instance registered in the service which doesn't match a running EC2 instance.

Requisites:

• The instance must be registered in the Cloud Map service with Cloud Map instance id equal to the EC2 instance id
• The instance must be registered in the Cloud Map service with AWS_INSTANCE_IPV4 attribute (can be the private or public IP address)

How the matching is done:

• A registered instance is considered valid if both the instance id and the AWS_INSTANCE_IPV4 address match a running EC2 instance
• A registered instance is skipped (left untouched) if registered without AWS_INSTANCE_IPV4 attribute

Safety countermeasures:

• The application logs a warning and do not deregister the unmatching instances, in case that would leave the service without registered instance
• The application handles graceful shutdown on SIGINT and SIGTERM. If such signals are received during a reconciling, it would complete the on-going reconcile before exiting

How to run it

You have two options to run it:

1. Manually install and run the aws-cloud-unmap Python package

   pip3 install aws-cloud-unmap
   
   aws-cloud-unmap --service-id srv-12345 --service-region us-east-1 --instances-region us-east-1
   

2. Use the Docker image available on Docker hub

   docker run spreaker/aws-cloud-unmap --service-id srv-12345 --service-region us-east-1 --instances-region us-east-1
   

The cli supports the following arguments:

Argument	Required	Description
--service-id ID	yes	AWS CloudMap service ID
--service-region REGION	yes	AWS CloudMap service region
--instances-region REGION [REGION ...]	yes	AWS regions where EC2 instances should be checked
--frequency N		How frequently the service should be reconciled (in seconds). Defaults to 300 sec
--single-run		Run a single reconcile and then exit
--log-level LOG_LEVEL		Minimum log level. Accepted values are: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL. Defaults to INFO

Development

Run the development environment:

docker-compose build dev && docker-compose run --rm dev
