I'll try to share my approach to use private GitHub hosted terraform modules with AFT v1.5.1. It relies on GH App to create ephemeral tokens during Global Customization stage which will share with the target account so it can be used during Account Customization stage.

Relates to: aws-ia/terraform-aws-control_tower_account_factory#42

Pre-requirements:

Create a GH APP:
- Permissions: allow the clone of repositories
- Set to a restricted list of terraform modules repos
Create parameter store entries for GH_APP pem, id and installation_id under AFT_MGT account

Example: Moving up to a few commits to another branch

Branch A has commits (X,Y) that also need to be in Branch B. The cherry-pick operations should be done in the same chronological order that the commits appear in Branch A.

cherry-pick does support a range of commits, but if you have merge commits in that range, it gets really complicated

git checkout branch-B
git cherry-pick X
git cherry-pick Y

Simple, semi-anonymous backups with S3 and curl

Backing stuff up is a bit of a hassle, to set up and to maintain. While full-blown backup suites such as duplicity or CrashPlan will do all kinds of clever things for you (and I'd recommend either for more complex setups), sometimes you just want to put that daily database dump somewhere off-site and be done with it. This is what I've done, with an Amazon S3 bucket and curl. Hold onto your hats, there's some Bucket Policy acrobatics ahead.

There's also a tl;dr at the very end if you just want the delicious copy-pasta.

Bucket setup

What

Unit files to deploy an ElasticSearch cluster on CoreOS via Fleet.

Service discovery & registration is done via etcd.

[email protected] provides a dumb discovery service by registering an elasticsearch host if it should be up. [email protected] registers the service only if it is running.

A service & timer unit for elasticsearch curator is provided which does some housekeeping.

How to configure multiple deploy keys for different private github repositories on the same computer without using ssh-agent

Let's say alice is a github.com user, with 2 or more private repositories repoN. For this example we'll work with just two repositories named repo1 and repo2

https://github.com/alice/repo1

https://github.com/alice/repo2

You need to be to pull from these repositories without entering a passwords probably on a server, or on multiple servers.
