Package opsworkscm provides the API client, operations, and parameter types for
AWS OpsWorks CM.
AWS OpsWorks for configuration management (CM) is a service that runs and
manages configuration management servers. You can use AWS OpsWorks CM to create
and manage AWS OpsWorks for Chef Automate and AWS OpsWorks for Puppet Enterprise
servers, and add or remove nodes for the servers to manage.
Glossary of terms
Server: A configuration management server that can be highly-available. The
configuration management server runs on an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2)
instance, and may use various other AWS services, such as Amazon Relational
Database Service (RDS) and Elastic Load Balancing. A server is a generic
abstraction over the configuration manager that you want to use, much like
Amazon RDS. In AWS OpsWorks CM, you do not start or stop servers. After you
create servers, they continue to run until they are deleted.
Engine: The engine is the specific configuration manager that you want to
use. Valid values in this release include ChefAutomate and Puppet .
Backup: This is an application-level backup of the data that the
configuration manager stores. AWS OpsWorks CM creates an S3 bucket for backups
when you launch the first server. A backup maintains a snapshot of a server's
configuration-related attributes at the time the backup starts.
Events: Events are always related to a server. Events are written during
server creation, when health checks run, when backups are created, when system
maintenance is performed, etc. When you delete a server, the server's events are
also deleted.
Account attributes: Every account has attributes that are assigned in the
AWS OpsWorks CM database. These attributes store information about configuration
limits (servers, backups, etc.) and your customer account.
AWS OpsWorks CM supports the following endpoints, all HTTPS. You must connect
to one of the following endpoints. Your servers can only be accessed or managed
within the endpoint in which they are created.
