* Match meanings of 'version' and 'release' to how Alpine uses them * Use optional 'revision' to denote any same-release AMI rebuild * Include CPU 'arch' in naming/description (may also offer 'aarch64' AMIs someday) * Upgrade build instance to use Amazon Linux 2 AMIs * Use env vars to pass details to 'make_ami.sh' instead of via CLI parameters * make_ami.sh + minimum version/release shouldn't be overrideable + update APK tools & Alpine keys + check build's release vs. installed /etc/alpine-release

# Alpine Linux EC2 AMI Build
|
|
|
|
**NOTE: This is not an official Amazon or AWS provided image. This is
|
|
community built and supported.**
|
|
|
|
This repository contains a packer file and a script to create an EC2 AMI
|
|
containing Alpine Linux. The AMI is designed to work with most EC2 features
|
|
such as Elastic Network Adapters and NVME EBS volumes by default. If anything
|
|
is missing please report a bug.
|
|
|
|
This image can be launched on any modern x86_64 instance type, including T3,
|
|
M5, C5, I3, R5, P3, X1, X1e, D2, Z1d. Other instances may also work but have
|
|
not been tested. If you find an issue with instance support for any current
|
|
generation instance please file a bug against this project.
|
|
|
|
To get started use one of the AMIs below. The default user is `alpine` and
|
|
will be configured to use whatever SSH keys you chose when you launched the
|
|
image. If user data is specified it must be a shell script that begins with
|
|
`#!`. If a script is provided it will be executed as root after the network is
|
|
configured.
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:** *The images listed below are currently very much out of date. We are
|
|
working on providing a set of updated 3.9 AMIs for all current AWS regions, and
|
|
hope to automate AMI builds and updates to this file and
|
|
[release.yaml](https://github.com/mcrute/alpine-ec2-ami/blob/master/release.yaml)
|
|
in the not-too-distant future.*

## Caveats
|
|
|
|
This image is being used in production but it's still somewhat early stage in
|
|
its development and thus there are some sharp edges.
|
|
|
|
- Only EBS-backed HVM instances are supported. While paravirtualized instances
|
|
are still available from AWS they are not supported on any of the newer
|
|
hardware so it seems unlikely that they will be supported going forward.
|
|
Thus this project does not support them.
|
|
|
|
- [cloud-init](https://cloudinit.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) is not currently
|
|
supported on Alpine Linux. Instead this image uses
|
|
[tiny-ec2-bootstrap](https://github.com/mcrute/tiny-ec2-bootstrap). Hostname
|
|
setting will work, as will setting the ssh keys for the Alpine user based on
|
|
what was configured during instance launch. User data is supported as long
|
|
as it's a shell script (starts with #!). See the tiny-ec2-bootstrap README
|
|
for more details. You can still install cloud-init (from the edge testing
|
|
repositories), but we haven't tested whether it will not work correctly for
|
|
this AMI. If full cloud-init support is important to you please file a bug
|
|
against this project.
|
|
|
|
- CloudFormation support is still forthcoming. This requires patches and
|
|
packaging for the upstream cfn tools that have not yet been accepted.
|
|
Eventually full CloudFormation support will be available.
