How to setup your own CA with OpenSSL

For educational reasons I've decided to create my own CA. Here is what I learned.

First things first

Lets get some context first.

AWS CloudFormation YAML template - appending to list parameter types

Documenting this here, as I often forget (what I have found) is the best way to do this at the moment.

For example, you have a list of two existing security groups given to a stack and wish to create (and use) a third - attaching all to an ALB:

AWSTemplateFormatVersion: "2010-09-09"
Description: "Example template"

Parameters:

Libvirt

yum group install -y "Development Tools"
yum -y install qemu-kvm libvirt virt-install bridge-utils libvirt-devel  libxslt-devel libxml2-devel libvirt-devel libguestfs-tools-c

echo "net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1"|sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/99-ipforward.conf
sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/99-ipforward.conf

Tabs and Windows

Function	Shortcut
Fullscreen	`⌘`+ `Enter`
Previous Tab	`⌘`+ `Left Arrow`
Next Tab	`⌘`+ `Right Arrow`
Go to Tab	`⌘` + `Number`
Go to Window	`⌘` + `Option` + `Number`
Go to Split Pane by Direction	`⌘` + `Option` + `Arrow`

Generating CloudFormation Templates from YAML Dictionaries

The security group and Network ACLs parts of CloudFormation templates can be difficult to read. This template containing Jinja macros converts easier-to-read YAML dictionaries of security group and NACL rules into JSON.

Here ais a generic macro template and some example files showing how to use it.

cloudformation.macros.j2 - the macros
cf_vars.yml - YAML dictionaly of security groups and NACLs, including some complex rules for both
test.template.j2 - a simple CloudFormation template that uses the macro file
cf_test.yml - a simple Ansible playbook that generates CloudFormation JSON from thr previous file.
