Support Amazon Linux AMI

[chengkai liang]

Hi everybody,

I just start to use littlechef to provision nodes on aws.  Everything looks cool except one thing: when provision an Amazon Linux AMI, it complains that it is unsupported distro.  Is there a plan to support that image?  Or is there any reason why it is not supported?

Thanks,

Chengkai

Not sure if you've tried knife-solo but looks like we have Amazon Linux in our list. The code is also quite similar if you wanted to add amazon linux support to littlechef.

Littlechef: https://github.com/tobami/littlechef/blob/master/littlechef/solo.py#L137

Knife-solo: https://github.com/matschaffer/knife-solo/blob/master/lib/knife-solo/bootstraps/linux.rb#L73

Hi Chengkai,

the new omnibus method, which installs Chef-supported versions should
work with Amazon AMIs.

It is described here:
https://github.com/tobami/littlechef#omnibus-method

Hopefully it works for you!

Cheers,
Miquel

I switch to use Amazon Linux AMI, and use the omnibus method as describe in the document, and this is what I got,

--------------------

zsh 3674  (git)-[master]-% fix node:jenkins deploy_chef:method=omnibus,version=11.12

Currently supported distros are: Debian, Ubuntu, RHEL (CentOS, RHEL, SL), Gentoo, Arch Linux or FreeBSD

Fatal error: Unsupported distro 'Amazon Linux AMI release 2014.09

Kernel \r on an \m'

Aborting.

Disconnecting from 54.67.86.245... done.

------------------

However, if I use centos AMI, the problem is gone.

Right. That is a bug, thanks for giving the feedback. The recent
omnibus refactor should fix that. It should land next week in a
release.

Cheers,
Miquel
