The script for preparing AWS AMI image. This script is connecting over ssh to a VM which will be used as a basement for AMI and deleting all logs, ssh keys and other sensitive data. Then using AWS API launches creating an AMI.

To use the sctipt, firstly add your AWS credentials:

export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=

and replace the following if necessary:

export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=eu-west-2

Secondly, put your own data here:

SECURITYGROUPS=
INSTANCETYPE=t2.medium 
KEYNAME=
AUTOSCALINGGROUPNAME=

Where

SECURITYGROUP - a list of groups should be connected to the VM after launching

INSTANCETYPE - instance you want to launch

KEYNAME - ssh public key to be placed into VM from the keypair KEYNAME

AUTOSCALINGGROUPNAME - auto scaling group the instance should be connected to

Then run the script and wait until an instance will be launched. To monitor its status go to AWS console.
