Capistrano plugin providing some useful utilities for interacting with EC2. Currently only provides management of security group ports.

NOTE: Uses Version 1 of the AWS SDK gem.

Add the gem to your Gemfile and run bundle install:

group :development do
  gem 'capistrano-ec2-utils', github: 'elevation/capistrano-ec2-utils'
end

Then add the gem to your Capfile:

require 'capistrano/ec2-utils'

AWS credentials will attempt to load from config/aws.yml by default and should be grouped by environment - the same format as the aws-sdk gem uses.

You can change the path to the yaml file if required:

set :ec2_config, "config/ec2.yml"

set :ec2_access_key_id,     "YOUR_ACCESS_KEY"
set :ec2_secret_access_key, "YOUR_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY"
set :ec2_security_group,    "YOUR_EC2_SECURITY_GROUP"

You can also optionally configure security group ports that are managed or your aws region

set :ec2_ports, [2222]        # defaults to [22]
set :ec2_region, 'us-west-2'

cap production ec2:allow_ip     # opens ports for your current ip
cap production ec2:revoke_ip    # closes ports for your current ip
cap production ec2:cleanup_ips  # closes ports for all ips except your current ip

1. Allow configuration via yaml file
2. Support region config
3. Publish rubygem
4. Add some tests
