Examples:
forger create my-instance
To see the snippet of code that gets added to the user-data script you can use the --noop
option and then view the generated tmp/user-data.txt.
forger create myscript --noop
You can tell forger to wait until the instance is ready with the --wait
option.
forger create my-instance --wait
You can also tell forger to ssh into the instance immediately after it's ready with the --ssh
option. Examples:
forger create my-instance --ssh # default is to login as ec2-user forger create my-instance --ssh --ssh-user ubuntu SSH_OPTIONS "-A" forger create my-instance --ssh --ssh-user ubuntu
CloudWatch support¶ ↑
There is experimental support for CloudWatch logs. When using the --cloudwatch
flag, code is added to the very beginning of the user-data script so that logs of the instance are sent to cloudwatch. Example:
forger create my-instance --cloudwatch
