cf-upgrade 1.0.2

Trivial AWS CloudFormation updater

cf-upgrade

This package contains a simple strict to update an existing CloudFormation stack. It is intended to be used as part of a CI/CD flow to update a deployment.

Usage is simple, since there are only two commands. First you can list all CloudFormation stacks using the list command:

$ cf-upgrade list
Stack             Status
----------------  ---------------
my-example-stack  UPDATE_COMPLETE

To update a stack use the upgrade command. In its simplest version you can pass a version number which will be used for a Version parameter:

$ cf-upgrade my-example-stack 1.2.0
Stack updating, waiting to complete... done

If you want to modify another parameter, or a different one you can also provide one or more key=value options:

$ cf-upgrade my-example-stack ApiVersion=1.1.0 Nginx=1.13.4
Stack updating, waiting to complete... done

Credentials

This command assumes you have AWS CLI credentials configured. You can use the –profile and –region options to indicate which AWS profile and region to use.

Permissions

In order to operate this your will need to use an AWS user with permissions to find our existing stack template and update it. In addition you must grant any permissions necessary to update your resources.

Here is a sample policy document to allow updating of ECS services:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [
        {
            "Effect": "Allow",
            "Action": [
                "cloudformation:DescribeStacks",
                "cloudformation:ListStacks",
                "cloudformation:GetTemplate",
                "cloudformation:GetTemplateSummary",
                "cloudformation:UpdateStack",

                "iam:GetRole",
                "iam:PassRole",

                "ecs:UpdateService",
                "ecs:DeregisterTaskDefinition",
                "ecs:DescribeServices",
                "ecs:RegisterTaskDefinition"
            ],
            "Resource": "*"
        }
    ]
}
