machine_tag cookbook
This cookbook provides a machine_tag
resource that can create, delete, list, and
search machine tags in the Vagrant and RightScale environments.
Github Repository: https://github.com/rightscale-cookbooks/machine_tag
Requirements
- machine_tag gem which provides a library for using machine tags.
- Requires Ruby 1.9 or higher
- Platform
- Ubuntu 12.04
- CentOS 6
Vagrant Environment
For using this resource in a Vagrant environment install the following
- Vagrant 1.2+
- Bindler
This resource detects a Vagrant environment when the node['cloud']['provider']
is set to
vagrant
. This value is set automatically when the vagrant-ohai
plugin is installed.
For test-kitchen tests, we set this value in the .kitchen.yml
file.
Bindler is used to manage Vagrant plugins required by this resource.
See Bindler README on how to setup bindler.
The Vagrant plugins required by this resource to work on a Vagrant environment
is put inside plugins.json
file in the root of the repository. Once Bindler is set
up, install these plugins by running
vagrant plugin bundle
Set a unique hostname for each VM in your Vagrantfile. To set this use the
config.vm.host_name
configuration key:
master.vm.host_name = "master"
See Vagrantfile
for an example.
RightScale Environment
For using this resource in a RightScale Environment, the system must be a
RightScale managed VM to have the required access to the rs_tag utility.
Usage
To create a machine_tag
machine_tag "namespace:predicate=value" do action :create end
To delete a machine_tag
machine_tag "namespace:predicate=value" do action :delete end
To list tags in the VM
class Chef::Recipe include Chef::MachineTagHelper end tags = tag_list(node)
To search tags in the VM
class Chef::Recipe include Chef::MachineTagHelper end tags = tag_search(node, 'test:tag=foo foo:bar=* some:tag')
Attributes
-
node['machine_tag']['vagrant_tag_cache_dir']
- path to store the tag data for each server. Only used in Vagrant environments. This should match aconfig.vm.synced_folder
entry in your Vagrantfile fortag_search()
to work across VMs. See theVagrantfile
for an example.
